POST-OPERATION CARE
WARNING
Allow engine to cool before per-
forming any maintenance.
General Care
Take the watercraft out of the water
every day to prevent marine organism
growth.
Should any water be present in the
bilge, install safety lanyard on its post
to start the electric bilge pump. If
some water remains, unscrew the
drain plugs and tilt the watercraft rear-
ward in order to allow water to flow
out.
Wipe off any remaining fluid in the en-
gine compartment (bilge, engine, bat-
tery, etc.) with clean dry rags (this is
particularly important in salt water op-
eration).
Additional Care for Foul
WaterorSaltWater
When the watercraft is operated in
foul water and particularly in salt wa-
ter, additional care should be taken
to protect the watercraft and its com-
ponents. Rinse off trailer and water-
craft's bilge area with fresh water.
CAUTION: Failure to perform
proper care such as: watercraft
rinsing, cooling system flushing or
anticorrosion treatment, when wa-
tercraft is used in salt water, will
result in damage to the watercraft
and its components. Never leave
the watercraft stowed in direct sun-
light.
Cooling System Flushing
and Engine Internal
Lubrication
General
Flushing the cooling system with fresh
water is essential to neutralize cor-
roding effects of salt or other chemi-
cal products present in water. It will
help to remove sand, salt, shells or
other particles in water jackets (en-
gine, exhaust manifold, tuned pipe)
and/or hoses.
Engine lubrication and flushing should
be performed when the watercraft is
not expected to be used further the
same day or when the watercraft is
stowed for any extended time.
WARNING
Perform this operation in a well
ventilated area.
Proceed as follows:
Clean jet pump by spraying water in its
inlet and outlet and then apply a coat-
ing of BOMBARDIER* LUBE lubricant
or equivalent.
Connect a garden hose to the fitting
located at the rear of watercraft on jet
pump support.
NOTE: If desired, a quick connect
adapter can be used (P/N 295 500
473). No hose pincher is required to
flush engine.
