FLUSHING THE EXHAUST
SYSTEM
Flushing
the exhaust system with fresh water is
essentia
l to neutralize corroding effects of salt or
other che
mical products present in water. It will
helptor
emove sand, salt, shells or other particles
in water
jackets and/or hoses.
NOTICE
If watercraft is used in salt water, ex-
haust system must be flushed daily to avoid se-
rious damage to mechanical components.
Flushing should be performed when the water-
craft is not expected to be used further the same
day or when the watercraft is stored for any ex-
tended time.
WARNING
Perfor
m this operation in a well ventilated
area. C
ertain components in the engine
compar
tment may be very hot. Direct con-
tact ma
y result in skin burn. Do not touch
any ele
ctrical part or jet pump area when
engin
e is running.
Proceed as follows:
Clean propulsion system by spraying water in its
inlet and outlet and then apply a coating of XPS
Lube or equivalent.
CAUTION When operating the engine
while the watercraft is out of the water, the
heat exchanger in the ride plate may become
very hot. Avoid any contact with ride plate as
burns may occur.
Connect a garden hose to the connector located
at the rear of watercraft (on the port side of the
stern). Do not open water tap at this time.
