POST-OPERATION CARE
Cooling System Flushing and
Engine Internal Lubrication
Flushing the cooling system
with
fresh water
is essential to neutralize
corroding effects of salt or other chemi-
cal products present in water. It will
help to clean up sand, salt, shells or
other particles in water jackets (en-
gine, exhaust manifold, tuned pipe)
and/or hoses.
Engine lubrication and flushing should
be performed when the watercraft is
not expected to be used further the
same day or when the watercraft is
stored for any extended time.
Proceed as follows:
Clean jet pump by spraying water in its
inlet and outlet and then BOMBAR-
DIER LUBE lubricant.
To flush engine, connect a garden
hose to the water outlet located at the
rear of watercraft near the jet pump.
NOTE:
A quick connect adapter is
supplied with the watercraft and can
be used to ease hose installation.
TYPICAL
1. Water outlet
2. Quick connect adapter (supplied)
3. Garden hose
Start the engine
then
immediately
open the water tap.
Run the engine about 3 minutes at a
fast idle around 3500 RPM.
◆
WARNING
In shallow water, shells, sand,
pebbles or other objects could be
drawn up by the jet pump and
damage impeller, components or
clog the cooling system. Also, de-
bris could be thrown rearward
into bystanders.
◆
WARNING
Perform this operation in a well
ventilated area.
◆
WARNING
Do not touch any electrical parts
or jet pump area when engine is
running.
-
CAUTION
Never flush a hot engine. Always
