1. Remove this hose pincher
When finished, remove all remaining
hose pinchers.
Most of the antifreeze will drain out
from flushing fitting and jet pump noz-
zle when removing hose pinchers. Use
a suitable container to recover it. Dis-
pose antifreeze as per your local laws
and regulations.
Sportster LE Model
Install a hose pincher to engine drain
hose.
Disconnect engine water supply hose
from cylinder head, as shown in the

1. Disconnect engine water supply hose
Temporarily install one short piece of
hose to engine water inlet fitting.
Insert a funnel into hose. Pour anti-
freeze mixed with water in the engine
until the solution is visible in the water
return hose.
Remove temporary hose and recon-
nect engine water supply hose to en-
gine.
Remove hose pincher.
Most of the antifreeze will drain out
when removing hose pincher. Use a
container to recover it. Dispose anti-
freeze as per your local laws and regu-
lations.
NOTE:
Although antifreeze will mainly
drain out, the antifreeze has flowed to
mix with water that was possibly
trapped in cooling system cavities and
thus preventing freezing problems.
Care should be taken with a Rotax 947
engine since water partially remains in-
side engine and cannot be totally
drained.
NOTE:
For pre-season preparation,
drain antifreeze from cooling system
prior to launching boat in water as ex-
plained above.
Battery
Contact your authorized dealer.
Anticorrosion Treatment
Wipe off any residual water in the en-
gine compartment.
Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant
over metallic components in engine
compartment.
Lubricate the throttle cable(s) with
BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant.
Finalizing Storage Preparation
Apply a non abrasive wax to body.
The engine storage cover should be
left partially opened during storage
(detach the gas shocks from the cover
to prevent full opening). Remove stor-
age tray. Place it on deck. This will
avoid engine compartment condensa-
tion and possible corrosion.
