NOTICE
Severe engine damage can occur in as lit-
tle as 15 seconds if the engine is started
without supplying water to the cooling
system.
Never start the motor without supplying
water to the cooling system.
1. Make sure that the motor is stopped.
2. Install the flushing attachment 1 so that the
water intake holes are covered by the rubber
cups on the attachment.
3. Connect a garden hose to the flushing
attachment and turn on the water to obtain
enough flow so that plenty of excess water is
flowing out from around the rubber cups on
the attachment.
4. Shift into "NEUTRAL" position with the pro-
peller removed and start the motor. As soon
as the engine starts, water should spray out
of the pilot water hole 2, indicating proper
water pump operation. If no water spray is
evident, stop the motor immediately and
consult your dealer.

5. Allow the engine to run only at idle speed
while flushing. Readjust the water flow, if
necessary, so that there is still plenty of
excess water flowing out from around the
rubber cups.
6. Allow the water to continue circulating for a
few minutes.
7. Stop the motor, then turn off the water.
8. Remove the flushing attachment.
9. Clean the motor surface and apply a coat of
automotive wax on the external finish of the
motor.
