2.
Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add
one ounce of "Yamaha Fuel Conditioner
and Stabilizer" to each gallon of fuel.
TIP:
The use of "Yamaha Fuel Conditioner and
Stabilizer" eliminates the need to drain the
fuel system. Consult your Yamaha dealer or
other qualified mechanic if the fuel system is
to be drained instead.

Remove the top cowling and propeller.
4.
Install the flushing attachment over the
cooling water inlet. NOTICE: Do not run
the engine without supplying it with
cooling water. Either the engine water
pump will be damaged or the engine
will be damaged from overheating. Be-
fore starting the engine, be sure to
supply water to the cooling water pas-
sages. Avoid running the outboard
motor at high speed while on the
flushing attachment, otherwise over-
heating could occur.

5.
Cooling system flushing is essential to
prevent the cooling system from clogging
up with salt, sand, or dirt. In addition, fog-
ging/lubricating of the engine is mandato-
ry to prevent excessive engine damage
due to rust. Perform the flushing and fog-
ging at the same time. WARNING! Do
not touch or remove electrical parts
when starting or during operation.
Keep hands, hair, and clothes away
from the flywheel and other rotating
parts while the engine is running.

TIP:
When using the flushing attachment, main-
●
tain adequate water pressure and a steady
water flow.
If the overheat alert device is activated, turn
●
the engine off, and consult your Yamaha
dealer.

Run the engine at a fast idle for a few
minutes in neutral position while supply-
ing fresh water.
7.
Just prior to turning off the engine, quickly
spray "Yamaha Stor-Rite Engine Fogging

the fogging hole of the silencer cover, if
equipped. When properly done, the en-
gine will smoke excessively and almost
