Section 01 MAINTENANCE
Subsection 03 (STORAGE PROCEDURES)
Wipe up any residual water from the engine.
Reinstall plug on air intake silencer cover .
CAUTION: Never leave rags or tools in the en-
gine compartment or in the bilge.
Antifreezing Protection
In cool regions (where freezing point may be en-
countered), cooling system should be filled pure
antifreeze.
CAUTION: Antifreeze must be fed in cool-
ing system. Otherwise remaining water will
freeze. If antifreezing is not performed ad-
equately engine/exhaust system may freeze
and cause severe damage. Always use ethy-
lene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion
inhibitors specifically recommended for alu-
minum engines.
CAUTION: Use only undiluted antifreeze (100%
concentration). The premixed antifreeze avail-
able from BRP is NOT suitable for this par-
ticular application. Its concentration will be
reduced when mixed with remaining water
trapped in water jackets. Always use ethy-
lene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion
inhibitors specifically recommended for alu-
minum engines. Never use antifreeze for RV
(recreational vehicles).
NOTE: When available, it is recommended to
use biodegradable antifreeze compatible with
internal combustion aluminum engines. This will
contribute to protect the environment.

operation but should have been ran before, to ex-
haust as much water as possible, from cooling
system components.

Some hoses have to be blocked to prevent drain-
ing, before filling cooling system jackets with the
antifreeze.
Install a small hose pincher (P/N 295 000 076) on
