1. Hose pincher below T-fitting
Pour approximately 300 mL (10 oz) of antifreeze in
the water regulator valve supply hose to allow an-
tifreeze flowing through the valve and into muffler
to protect them.
Reconnect hose to T-fitting and remove hose
pincher (if applicable).
All 2-Stroke Models except DI
Remove temporary hose on 717 engines and re-
connect engine water outlet hose.
Remove remaining hose pinchers.
Most of the antifreeze will drain out when remov-
ing the hose pinchers. Use a container to recover
it. DISPOSE ANTIFREEZE 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 pre-
venting freezing problems.
At preseason preparation, drain the remaining an-
tifreeze from cooling system prior to using the wa-
tercraft. Ensure no hose pincher was forgotten at
storage.
XP DI Models
NOTE: This procedure requires approximately
2.8 L (3 U.S. qt) of antifreeze.
Hose Pinchers Installation
Some hoses have to be plugged to prevent drain-
ing, before filling cooling system jackets with the
antifreeze.
Install hose pinchers at the following location:
