Pour approximately 200 mL (7 oz) of
antifreeze in the water regulator valve
supply hose to allow antifreeze flow-
ing through the valve and into muffler
to protect it.
Remove temporary hose and recon-
nect engine water outlet hose.
Most of the antifreeze will drain out
when removing the hose pinchers. Use
a container to recover it. DISPOSE AN-
TIFREEZE AS PER YOUR LOCAL LAWS
AND REGULATIONS.
NOTE: Although antifreeze will mainly
drain out, the antifreeze has mixed with
the water that was possibly trapped in
the water jackets and thus preventing
freezing problems.
At pre-season preparation, drain the re-
maining antifreeze from cooling sys-
tem prior to using the watercraft.
The following steps should be per-
formed to provide the watercraft en-
hanced protection.
Clean the bilge with hot water and de-
tergent or with bilge cleaner. Rinse
thoroughly. Lift front end of watercraft
to completely drain bilge. If any repairs
are needed to body or to the hull con-
tact your authorized SEA-DOO dealer.
For paint touch up to mechanical parts
use Bombardier spray paint.
Reinstall vent tube support (if applica-
ble).
Anticorrosion Treatment
Wipe off any residual water in the en-
gine compartment.
Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant
or equivalent over metallic compo-
nents in engine compartment.
Lubricate the throttle cable with BOM-
BARDIER LUBE lubricant or equivalent.
Final Steps
Apply a good quality marine wax to the
body.
The seat and the seat extension (if so
equipped) should be partially left
opened, the rear access cover and stor-
age baskets (if so equipped) should
be removed during storage. This will
avoid engine compartment condensa-
tion and possible corrosion.
If the watercraft is to be stored out-
side, cover it with an opaque tarpaulin
to prevent sun rays and grime from af-
fecting the plastic components, water-
craft finish as well as preventing dust
accumulation.
CAUTION: The watercraft should
never be left in water for storage.
Never leave the watercraft stored in
direct sunlight.
Pre-Season Preparation
Use the following chart.
Since technical skills and special tools
are required, some operations should be
performed by an authorized SEA-DOO
dealer.
WARNING
Do not lubricate the safety lanyard
post.
WARNING
Only perform procedures as de-
tailed in this guide. It is recommend-
ed that the assistance of an autho-
rized SEA-DOO dealer be periodical-
ly obtained on other components/
systems not covered in this guide.
Unless otherwise specified, engine
must not be running and the safe-
ty lanyard must be removed from
its post for all maintenance proce-
dures. Components inside engine
compartment may be hot. When
component conditions seem less
than satisfactory, replace with gen-
uine BOMBARDIER parts or ap-
proved equivalents.
