CAUTION:
Fuel stabilizer should
be added prior to engine lubrication
to ensure fuel system components
protection against varnish deposits.
WARNING
Alwaysstoptheenginebeforere-
fueling. Fuel is flammable and ex-
plosive under certain conditions.
Always work in a well ventilated
area. Do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks in the vicinity. Fu-
el tank may be pressurized, turn
cap slowly when opening. Never
use an open flame to check fuel
level. When fueling, keep water-
craft level. Do not overfill or top
off the fuel tank and leave water-
craft in the sun. As temperature
increases, fuel expands and might
overflow. Always wipe off any fuel
spillage from the watercraft. Peri-
odically verify fuel system.
Cooling System Flushing and
Engine Internal Lubrication
Refer to procedure in POST-OPERA-
TION CARE.
Battery
Contact your authorized Sea-Doo deal-
er.
Antifreezing Protection
In cool regions where freezing point
may be encountered, cooling system
should be filled with pure antifreeze.
CAUTION:
Antifreeze must be fed
in cooling system. Otherwise re-
maining water will freeze (approxi-
mately500mL(.5U.S.qt)intuned
pipe water jackets). This operation
requires a good technical knowl-
edge of the cooling system path.
If antifreezing is not performed
adequately, any water left in the
engine/exhaust system could freeze
and cause severe damage. We
strongly recommend this operation
to be performed by an authorized
Sea-Doo dealer.
CAUTION:
Use only undiluted an-
tifreeze (100% concentration). The
pre-mixed antifreeze available from
Bombardier Recreational Products
Inc. is not suitable for this partic-
ular application. Its concentration
will be reduced when mixed with
remaining water trapped in water
jackets. Always use ethylene glycol
antifreeze containing corrosion in-
hibitors specifically recommended
for aluminum engines. Never use
antifreeze for RV (recreational vehi-
cles).
NOTE: When available, it is rec-
ommended to use biodegradable
antifreeze compatible with internal
combustion aluminum engines. This
will contribute to protect the environ-
ment.
NOTE: The engine will not have to
run during this operation but should
have been ran before, to exhaust as
much water as possible, from cooling
system components.
NOTE: This procedure requires ap-
proximately 2 L (2.1 U.S. qt) of an-
tifreeze.
Procedure for Engine and Tuned
Pipe (upper part)
Remove rear access panel to gain ac-
cess to drain hoses.
Before filling cooling system jackets
with antifreeze, some hoses have to
be plugged to prevent drainage.
