L=Lubricate with recommended lubricant
After washing the engine compartment of the watercraft, protect the metal components with a heavy duty silicone
based spray lube or other non-flammable metal protectant. Do not use flammable sprays or protectants in the
engine compartment. Do not use petroleum based protectants or lubricants in the engine compartment, as most
are flammable and also may deteriorate rubber components.
NOTE: This maintenance schedule is included in each personal watercraft owner’s safety and maintenance
manual.
