FLUSHING AND LUBRICATION 0
GENERAL
Flushing the cooling system with fresh water is
essential to neutralize corroding effects of salt or
other chemical products present in water. It will
help to clean up sand, salt, shells or other particles
in water jackets (engine, exhaust manifold, tuned
pipe) and/or hoses.
Flushing and engine lubrication should be per-
formed when the watercraft is not expected to be
used further the same day or when the watercraft
is stored for any extended time.
PROCEDURE
Clean jet pump by spraying water in its inlet and
outlet and then spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubri-
cant.
