WATERCRAFT CARE
Remove the watercraft from the water
every day.
Post-Operation Care
Exhaust System Flushing
The exhaust system should be flushed
daily when watercraft is used in salt or
foul water.
Refer to MAINTENANCE PROCE-
DURES
.
NOTE: On supercharged models, the
intercooler is flushed at the same time.
Additional Care for Foul Water or
Salt Water Operation
When the watercraft is operated in foul
water and particularly in salt water, ad-
ditional care should be taken to protect
the watercraft and its components.
Rinse watercraft bilge area with fresh
water.
Never use a high pressure washer to
clean the bilge.
USE LOW PRESSURE
ONLY (such as a garden hose).
High pressure can cause damages to
electrical or mechanical systems.
CAUTION Allow engine to
cool before performing any main-
tenance.
NOTICE
Failure to perform proper
care such as: watercraft rinsing, ex-
haust system flushing and anticor-
rosion treatment, when watercraft is
used in salt water, will result in dam-
age to the watercraft and its compo-
nents. Never leave the watercraft
stored in direct sunlight.
Watercraft Cleaning
Body and Hull
Occasionally, wash the hull and various
body components with water and soap
(use only mild detergent). Remove any
marine organisms from engine and/or
hull. Apply non-abrasive wax such as
silicone wax.
NOTICE
Never clean fiberglass
and plastic parts with strong deter-
gent, degreasing agent, paint thin-
ner, acetone, or other strong chemi-
cal or petroleum type cleaner.
Stains may be removed from the seat
and fiberglass using CLEANER AND
DEGREASER PRO C1 (P/N 779262) or
the equivalent.
To clean the carpets, use 3M™ Citrus
Base Cleaner (24 oz spray can) or an
equivalent.
WARNING
Never apply plastic or vinyl pro-
tector on the carpets or seat as the
surface will become slippery and
the occupants may slip off the wa-
tercraft.
Respect the environment by ensuring
fuel, oil, coolant or cleaning solutions
do not drain into the waterways.
