CLEANING COOLING-WATER
PASSAGES
Flushing device equipped model
Perform this procedure right after operation
for the most thorough flushing.
1)
2)
3)
After shutting off the engine, unscrew
the garden-hose connector 2 from the
fitting1 on the bottom cowling.
Screw the garden-hose connector 2
onto a garden hose 3 which is con-
nected to a fresh-water supply.
With the engine off, turn on the water
tap and let the water flush through the
cooling passages for about 15 minutes.
Turn off the water and disconnect the
garden hose3.
4)
When flushing is complete, reinstall the
garden-hose connector 2 on the fitting
1
on the bottom cowling. Tighten the
connector securely.
CAUTION:
@
Do not leave the garden-hose connector
loose on the bottom cowling fitting or let
the hose hang free during normal opera-
tion. Water will leak out of the connector
instead of cooling the engine, which can
cause serious overheating. Be sure the
connector is tightened securely on the
fitting after flushing the engine.
@
NOTE:
@
When flushing the engine with the boat in
the water, tilting up the engine until it is
completely out of the water will achieve
better results.

q Refer to cooling system flushing instruc-
tions in “TRANSPORTING AND STOR-
ING OUTBOARD MOTOR”.
