FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
When flushing, be certain the area around propeller is clear, and no one is
standing nearby. To avoid possible injury, remove propeller.
Do not run engine above 1500 RPM when flushing. Suction created by seawa-
ter pickup pump may collapse flushing hose, causing engine and/or drive unit
to overheat.
Watch temperature gauge on dash to ensure that engine does not overheat.
To prevent silt and/or salt buildup in cooling system, flush with fresh-
water at specified intervals.
