After you finish riding your PWC, always
perform post-ride maintenance to keep your
PWC in good operating condition.
1. Remove your PWC from the water.
2. Purge the exhaust system of excess water
by starting the engine and, while checking
the tachometer, repeatedly rev the engine
up to no more than 4,000 rpm for less than
15 seconds.
•
Engine rpm can increase rapidly when the
watercraft is out of water.
Operating the engine out of water at high
rpm or for longer than 15 seconds at a time
may cause severe engine and/or exhaust
system damage.
3. Wash the hull, deck, handlebar, and
intake/propulsion system with fresh water.
4. Flush the cooling system with fresh water
5. Remove the lock clip from the engine stop
button/switch.
