CLEANING

Cleaning outside

SELVA motors do not need much cleaning, to clean the painted parts use
a cloth soaked with water
Do not use flammable solvents.
Cleaning of cooling-water passages
Every now and then after using, clean the cooling-water passages, in
order to remove mud and salt, so that they do not affect the performance
of your motor.
You can carry out this cleaning operation in the following way:
Immerse the outboard motor without the propeller in a vessel filled up with
fresh-water, make sure that the water level is over the height of the water
inlets, to avoid causing irreparable damage to the motor. Shift the gear-
shift lever into neutral " N ". Start the engine and run at low speed for a few
minutes.
when you start the engine, the propeller shaft turns.
Operate carefully to avoid wounding. Never approach the
hands or other objects to the propeller shaft.
While cleaning the cooling water passages make sure that
water always circulates in the passages, checking its running
out of the pilot hole. Picture No. 41.

MAINTENANCE

Before doing any kind of maintenance or checking operation, switch off the
engine and wait till it has cooled down, then remove the spark plug cap, in
order to avoid an accidental staring.
Pay attention to the motor parts, which are still hot, so that you do not burn
yourself.
Some maintenance operations must be carried out by qualified staff.
