• Never leave any object, rag, tool, etc., in the engine compartment or in
the bilge.

10). Air Intake Opening
Allows air into the bilge for ventilation purposes and engine supply. The snorkel valve
inside the intake opening will be closed when the craft submerges in water or the craft is
capsized. However it is not water proof. If the air intake opening is kept under water, water
may get inside the bilge under certain circumstances.
CAUTION: If the water gets inside the bilge under certain circumstances, it may cause
severe damage to internal parts of the engine.
11). Exhaust Flushing Connector
A convenient connector is provided to allow easy installation of a garden hose to flush
the exhaust system (pipe, muffler, and hoses, etc). Refer to POST-OPERATION CARE
section for proper use.
CAUTION: Ensure to close the connector with the cap after flushing. Otherwise the cooling
water from jet will flow out here, and the exhaust system will not be cooled, which will
damage the exhaust system.
