WARNING
When flushing, be certain the area around propeller is clear, and no one is standing
nearby. To avoid possible injury, remove propeller.
CAUTION
Do not run engine above 1500 rpm when flushing. Suction created by seawater pick-
up pump may collapse flushing hose, causing engine to overheat.
CAUTION
Watch temperature gauge on dash to ensure that engine does not overheat.
6. Operate engine at idle speed in neutral for 10 minutes, or until discharge water is clear.
Stop engine.
7. Shut off water tap. Remove garden hose and adaptor from pump inlet and reconnect
water inlet hose. Be sure to tighten hose clamp securely.
IMPORTANT: If boat is in the water, do not open water inlet valve until engine is to be
restarted to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into engine. If boat is not
fitted with a valve, leave water inlet hose disconnected and plugged.
