INSTRUCTIONS FOR MARINE EXTERIOR SALT REMOVAL

Salt-Away is the first product that is successfully changing the entire salt-water boating maintenance industry.

Because of Salt-Away’s popularity, many boaters began to take their engines back to their dealers to have them retrofitted to be able to accept the Salt-Away Mixing Unit.

Now, major boat engine manufacturers are beginning to re-engineer their engines to accommodate the introduction of a salt removing product without having to use a dispenser.

Salt-Away was the first product marketed as an engine flush, and we developed a successful way to get it into engines.

The above head gaskets came out of the same outboard motor. Before he knew about Salt-Away, Greg Moss, the owner and mechanic of Moss Marine, Channelview, TX, had always flushed his motors with fresh water after every use in salt water. The gasket on the left, flushed with fresh water for a year, was removed during the motor's annual overhaul. Greg replaced the gasket with the one on the right and began flushing every time with Salt-Away. It was used in the motor for one year and was removed at the next annual overhaul.

Salt-Away does 3 major jobs when used as an engine flush. It flushes out the fresh salt, it protects the inside from rusting and corroding, and it begins to break down salt build-up. When performing an engine flush with Salt-Away, for outboards, and most I/Os where flushing muffs are used, Salt-Away’s Concentrate and the Salt-Away Mixing Unit are required.

During the process, flush until Salt-Away’s foaming action can be seen exiting the exhaust, which takes 20-30 seconds. Less than ½ ounce of product has been used, and the remaining product in the Mixing Unit can be used to remove salt from the boat, trailer and other equipment, up to 35 feet.

SALT-AWAY’S SALT REMOVING AGENT Salt-Away’s salt removing agent is a new, highly technical product which is much more successful than any other similar additive on the market. It has a very high, dense foaming property which allows the salt removal to be unquestionable.

  • The foaming property is not to be mistaken for a hazardous or toxic material. The foaming soon dissipates.
  • All ingredints in Salt-Away are non-hazardous, non-toxic and environmentally safe.

FLUSHING OUTBOARD ENGINES EQUIPPED WITH FLUSH PORT FITTING

FLUSHING OUTBOARD ENGINES EQUIPPED WITH FLUSH PORT FITTING Note: Manufacturers of outboard motors designed with flush ports engineered some of these models differently. The important question to ask your manufacturer is whether or not your model was engineered to flush the lower unit to include the impeller and the water pump, or only the upper part of the engine around the heads. Since Salt-Away removes salt from all parts of the engine, it is very important to include the removal of salt from the impeller and water pump. If your engine's flushing path does not include the lower unit, we recommend that you flush your engine the old fashioned way - Salt-Away solution running through the flushing muffs covering the water intakes located on the lower unit, with your engine running.
Please see Instructions - Using Flushing Muffs.

Important: Your engine must not be running when flushing your engine through the flush port.

Instructions – Using Flush Port Fitting

1. Remove 4-ounce cup of Mixing Unit and fill with Salt-Away. Be careful not to lose O-ring.

2. Replace cup. Always make sure the O-ring is seated on the groove on top of the cup before replacing.

3. Connect garden hose to back of Salt-Away Mixing Unit. Mixing Unit is in 'off' position.

4. Connect front end of Mixing Unit to a quick-connect device, or a short piece of hose. Attach the quick-connect device or hose to the port connection. (Some port openings are recessed too deeply to accept the Mixing Unit directly.)

5. Turn on water. Mixing Unit has been tested to withstand water pressure up to 60 psi. Higher pressure may cause the unit to malfunction.

6. Turn Salt-Away Mixing Unit to 'Salt-Away' (ON) position. This position mixes Salt-Away and water to the correct ratio for removing salt. Water pressure from the hose easily flushes this mixture through the engine.

7. Watch for the Salt-Away foaming action to exit the exhaust.

8. Turn Mixing Unit valve to the 'off' position after Salt-Away foaming action has appeared, about 20-30 seconds, while Salt-Away is still present throughout the cooling system. It is ok to flush for up to 1 minute. Flushing for more than 1 minute is unnecessary, and the product is being wasted.

9. Remove equipment from the flushing port and close port. 10. Do not rinse Salt-Away out of engine with fresh water. Leave inside so that its corrosion inhibitors can protect the metal from rusting and corroding, and so that the salt removing agent can begin to break down salt build-up. See instructions for removing salt build-up.
