FLUSHING THE WATER
PASSAGES
WARNING
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide,
a dangerous gas that is difficult to detect
because it is colorless and odorless.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
death or severe injury.
Never start the engine or let it run indoors
or where there is little or no ventilation.
WARNING
Failure to take proper precautions when
flushing the water passages can be haz-
ardous.
When flushing the water passages,
always take the following precautions:
• Make sure that the engine remains in
NEUTRAL. If shifted into gear, the pro-
peller shaft will turn and could cause
severe personal injury.
• Make sure the motor is properly
clamped to a secure stand or boat, and
remain in attendance until flushing is
completed.
• Keep children and pets away from the
area, and stay clear of all moving parts.
NOTICE
Severe engine damage can occur in as lit-
tle as 15 seconds if the engine is started
without supplying water to the cooling
system.
Never start the motor without supplying
water to the cooling system.

After operation in muddy, brackish, or salt
water, you should flush the water passages and
motor surface with clean, fresh water. If you do
not flush the water passages, salt can corrode
the motor and shorten its life.
To flush the water passages, you must obtain
an optional flushing attachment from your
authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer.
1. Shift into "NEUTRAL" and remove the pro-
peller.
2. Remove the flush plug and install the flush-
ing attachment 1. Plug the water intake hole
2 with a piece of duct tape.
3. Connect a garden hose to the flushing
attachment and turn on the water to obtain a
good water flow.
4. Start the motor and let it idle for about five
minutes. This will clean the salt water out of
the cooling system.
5. Stop the motor and then turn off the water.
Be sure to stop the motor first.
6. Reinstall the flush plug and remove the duct
tape from the water intake hole.
7. Clean the motor surface and apply a coat of
automotive wax on the external finish of the
motor.
