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 (XP
models) and storage baskets (if so
equipped) should be removed during
storage. This will avoid engine com-
partment condensation 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
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 safety
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.
