Procedure

Flushing outboard motor using flushing attachment

1. Tilt down the outboard motor. 2. Remove the water plug from the gear case and screw in the flushing attachment. 3. Connect a water hose. Seal the water inlet located in the gear case with tape. Turn on the water and adjust the flow. 4. Put the shift lever in the neutral position and start the engine. Continue flushing for 3 to 5 minutes at idling. WARNING: Do not operate the engine when flushing with a hose joint as this can cause damage to the outboard motor. (This step applies only when using the flushing attachment method with engine running — verify method applicability.) Remove the stop switch lock to prevent accidental engine start when near the propeller. 5. Stop the engine and water supply. Remove the flushing attachment and tape. Reattach the water plug securely.
