Anticorrosion Treatment
Wipe off any residual water in the engine com-
partment.
Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant over all me-
tallic components in engine compartment.
Lubricate the throttle cable with BOMBARDIER
LUBE lubricant.
NOTE: A cable luber can be used on throttle cable
end to inject BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant.
The seat should be partially left opened during
storage (the engine cover for the XP and HX mod-
els). This will avoid engine compartment conden-
sation and possible corrosion.
NOTE: If the watercraft is stored outside with
seat (or the engine cover for the XP and HX mod-
els) partially opened and without a tarpaulin, un-
screw the rear drain plug(s) in order to avoid water
build up in the bilge during rainfall. Tilt the water-
craft to the rear so that water can flow out.
Additional Recommended Protection
In cool regions (where freezing point temperature
may be encountered), cooling system should be
filled with water and antifreeze solution.
NOTE: The engine will not have to run during this
operation.
All Models Except XP and HX
Three hoses have to be disconnected to allow air
to escape and antifreeze solution to completely fill
cooling system water jackets.
Disconnect drain hose.
TYPICAL
1. Drain hose
Disconnect engine water supply hose and engine
water return hose.
TYPICAL
1. Engine water supply hose
2. Engine water return hose
Raise all hoses above the highest point of tuned
pipe and tie them together.
Insert a funnel into the engine water supply hose.
Pour about 1 liter (1 quart) of antifreeze mixed
with water in the engine.

CAUTION
Always use ethylene-glycol antifreeze con-
taining corrosion inhibitors specifically rec-
ommended for aluminum engines.
