INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Washing with fresh water
When the engine has been used in salt
water or polluted water, wash the exterior
and flush the cooling passage with fresh
water using the flushing attachment.
Screw the included flushing attachment
into the wash hole on the gear case.
Connect a water hose to the flushing
attachment and flush out with water.
( Be sure to secure the water inlet and sub-
water inlet on the gear case beforehand.)
Keep cooling water passage free of clogs,
or lack of cooling water flow could lead to
engine overheating, potentially resulting in
engine trouble.
Do not start engine without removing pro-
peller, or accidentally turning propeller
could cause personal injury.
Never start or operate the engine indoors
9
or in any space which is not well ventilated.
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a
colorless and odorless gas which can be
fatal if inhaled for any length of time.
Note
It is recommended to check chemical prop-
erties of water on which your outboard
motor is regularly used.
