FLUSHING
DANGER
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without
adequate ventilation or permit exhaust
fumes to accumulate in confined areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide
which, if inhaled, can cause serious brain
damage or death.
See your DEALER for a flushing device designed to
fit your engine. Follow manufacturer’s instructions
for installing and using it.
