Remove spark plugs and dry them
with a clean and dry cloth.
Cover spark plug holes with a rag.
Fully apply the throttle lever then de-
press the start/stop button to crank
engine for approximately 10 seconds.
This will allow water to escape from
spark plug openings.
Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant
into spark plug holes.
Crank engine again with the throttle
fully applied.
Reinstall spark plugs.
Towing the Watercraft in Water
Special precautions should be taken
when towing a Sea-Doo watercraft in
water.
Maximum recommended towing speed
is 24 km/h (15 MPH).
When towing your watercraft in water,
pinch the water supply hose from the
impeller housing to the engine with a
large hose pincher (P/N 529 030 400)
shown in the following illustration.
This will prevent the cooling system
from filling which may lead to water
being injected into and filling the ex-
haust system. Without the engine run-
ning there isn’t any exhaust pressure
to carry the water out of the exhaust
outlet.
Snugly install the hose pincher on the
hose as shown.

WARNING
Never crank engine with spark
plugs removed unless spark plug
cables are connected to the
grounding device.

CAUTION
Failure to do this may result in
damage to the engine. If you
must tow a stranded watercraft in
water and do not have a hose
pincher be sure to stay well be-
low the maximum towing speed
of 24 km/h (15 MPH).
-
CAUTION
When finished towing the water-
craft, hose pincher must be re-
moved before operating it.
