Maintenance
•
Store the outboard motor in a dry, well-
ventilated place, not in direct sunlight.
Procedure
Flushing in a test tank
NOTICE
Before starting the engine, make sure to
supply water to the cooling water passages.
Otherwise, the engine could overheat
and
be damaged.
Cooling system flushing is essential to pre-
vent the cooling system from clogging up with
salt, sand, or dirt. In addition, fogging of the
engine is mandatory to prevent excessive
engine damage due to rust. Perform the
flushing
and fogging at the same time.
1.
Wash the outboard motor body using
fresh water. NOTICE: Do not spray water into
the air intake.
2.
Fill the built-in fuel tank with fresh fuel
and
add one ounce of "Fuel
Condi
tioner and
Stabilizer" to each gallon of
fu
el.
TIP:
The use of "Fuel Conditioner and
Stabilizer''
eliminates the need to drain the
fuel system.
3.
When using a portable fuel tank, discon-
nect the fuel hose, install the fuel joint
cap,
and then align the fuel cock with the
built-in
fuel tank position.
