the sump, keep the outboard motor in the
attitude shown when transporting and
storing it. If storing or transporting the
outboard motor on its side (not upright),
put it on a cushion after draining the
engine oil.
●
Do not place the outboard motor on its
side before the cooling water has drained
from it completely, otherwise water may
enter the cylinder through the exhaust port
and cause engine trouble.
●
Store the outboard motor in a dry, well-
ventilated place, not in direct sunlight.
Procedure
Flushing with the flushing attachment
1. Wash the outboard motor body using
fresh water. NOTICE: Do not spray water
into the air intake. For further information,
see page 71.
2. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add
one ounce of “Hidea Fuel Conditioner and
Stabilizer” to each gallon of fuel.
TIP:
The use of “Hidea Fuel Conditioner and
Stabilizer” eliminates the need to drain the
fuel system. Consult your Hidea dealer or
other qualified mechanic if the fuel system is
to be drained instead.
3. Remove the top cowling and propeller.
4. Install the flushing attachment over the
cooling water inlet. NOTICE: Do not run the
engine without supplying it with cooling
water. Either the engine water pump will be
damaged or the engine will be damaged
from overheating. Before starting the
engine, be sure to supply water to the
cooling water passages. Avoid running
the out-
board motor at high speed while on the
flushing attachment, otherwise
overheating could occur.
1. Flushing attachment
5. Cooling system flushing is essential to
prevent the cooling system from clogging up
with salt, sand, or dirt. In addition,
fogging/lubricating of the engine is
mandatory to prevent excessive engine
damage due to rust. Perform the flushing
and fogging at the same time.
WARNING! Do not touch or remove
electrical parts when starting or during
operation. Keep hands, hair, and clothes
away from the flywheel and other
rotating parts while the engine is running.
TIP:
●
When using the flushing attachment, main-
tain adequate water pressure and a steady
water flow.
●
If the overheat alert device is activated,
turn the engine off, and consult your Hidea
dealer.
6. Run the engine at a fast idle for a few
minutes in neutral position while supplying
fresh water.
7. Just prior to turning off the engine, quick-
ly spray “Hidea StorRite Engine Fogging
Oil” alternately into the intake
