until oil flows out of the upper plug
hole.
③
Install the upper oil plug, and then
remove oil tube nozzle and install

have it serviced and prepared by your
dealer.

Engine
①
Wash the engine exterior and flush
the cooling water system thoroughly
with fresh water. Drain the water
completely.
Wipe off any surface water with an
oily rag.
②
Use a dry cloth to completely
wipe off water and salt from the
electrical components.
③
Drain all fuel from the fuel hoses,
fuel pump, and carburetor, and
clean these parts.
Keep in mind that if gasoline
is kept in the carbruretor for a
long time, gum and varnish will
develop, causing the float valve to
stick, restricting the fuel flow.
④
Remove the spark plugs and
spray storage oil (available from
an authorized dealer) into the
combustion chamber through
the spark plug holes while slowly
turning the motor over using the
recoil starter.
⑤
Change the engine oil.
