position.
2. Move the shift lever(s) to NEUTRAL.

speed is approximately 1400 RPM. Refer to
propulsion unit operator’s manual for cool
down procedure.

Formula dealer and request any necessary

ENGINE FLUSHING
If your engines are not equipped with a close-
water cooling system, fresh water flush your
engines after each use in salty, polluted or
brackish water. Flushing your engines will
minimize the formation of deposits that can clog
cooling passages.
Formula offers a fresh water flushing system on
engines that do not have a closed-water cooling
system. The optional flushing port is located on
the front starboard side of the engine.
!
WARNING
1. Fresh Water Flushing Port
An adapter is included with your boat to connect a
garden hose to the port.
