EMU00343 Flushing with the Flushing Attachment cC Avoid running the outboard at high speed while on the flushing attachment, or overheating could occur. 1) 2) Remove the top cowling and silencer cover. Install a flushing attachment to the lower unit. (A flushing attachment is available from a Yamaha dealer). Run the engine at a fast idle for 10~15 minutes supplying water. Just prior to turning off the engine, quickly spray "Yamaha Stor-Rite Engine Fogging Oil" (Part No. LUBSTRRT-12-00) alternately into each intake manifold. When properly done, the engine will smoke excessively and almost stall. Remove the flushing attachment and wipe off any excess water. Ventilate when charging or using in a closed space. Always wear eye protection when working near batteries. Therefore the following procedures may not always apply. Consult your battery manufacturer's instructions. 1) Disconnect and remove the battery from the boat. Always disconnect the black negative lead first to prevent the risk of shorting. 2) Clean the battery casing and terminals. Fill each cell to the upper level with distilled water. 3) Store the battery on a level surface in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight. 4) Once a month, check the specific gravity of the electrolyte and recharge as required to prolong battery life.
