1. Disconnect engine water inlet hose
Temporarily install a short piece of hose to engine
water inlet at cylinder head.
Insert a funnel into hose and pour antifreeze in
engine until the colored solution appears at the
cooling system bleed outlet.
Remove temporary hose and reconnect engine
water inlet hose.
Remove remaining hose pinchers.
Most of the antifreeze will drain out when remov-
ing the hose pinchers. Use a container to recover
it. DISPOSE ANTIFREEZE AS PER YOUR LOCAL
LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
NOTE: Although antifreeze will mainly drain out,
the antifreeze has mixed with the water that was
possibly trapped in the water jackets and thus pre-
venting freezing problems.
At preseason preparation, drain the remaining an-
tifreeze from cooling system prior to using the wa-
tercraft. Ensure no hose pincher was forgotten at
storage.

Some hoses have to be plugged to prevent drain-
ing, before filling cooling system jackets with the
antifreeze.
NOTE: Before beginning the procedure, make
sure the hose is properly connected to the mag-
neto cover.
