CHARGING SYSTEM.
Watercraft Cleaning
Clean the bilge with hot water and mild detergent
or with bilge cleaner. Rinse thoroughly. Lift front
end of watercraft to completely drain bilge. If any
repairs are needed to body or to the hull, touch up
paint and Gelcote
®
repair kit are available. Replace
damaged labels/decals.
Wash the body with soap and water solution (only
use mild detergent). Rinse thoroughly with fresh
water. Remove marine organisms from the hull.
Apply a nonabrasive wax.
CAUTION:
Never clean fiberglass and plastic
parts with strong detergent, degreasing agent,
paint thinner, acetone, etc.
If the watercraft is to be stored outside, cover it
with an opaque tarpaulin to prevent sun rays and
grime from affecting the plastic components, wa-
tercraft finish as well as preventing dust accumu-
lation.
CAUTION:
The watercraft must never be Ieft in
water for storage. Never leave the watercraft
stored in direct sunlight.
Anticorrosion Treatment
Wipe off any residual water in the engine compart-
ment.
Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant over all me-
tallic components in engine compartment.
Lubricate the throttle cable with BOMBARDIER
LUBE lubricant.
The seat should be partially left opened during
storage (the engine cover for the XP model). This
will avoid engine compartment condensation and
possible corrosion.
Additional Recommended Protection
All Models
In cool regions (where freezing point may be en-
countered), cooling system should be emptied
with air pressure or filled with water and antifreeze
solution (40% water, 60% antifreeze).
CAUTION:
Always use ethylene-glycol anti-
freeze containing corrosion inhibitors specifi-
cally recommended for aluminum engines.
NOTE:
The engine will not have to run during this
operation.
Air Pressure Method
Install an air pressure adaptor to the water outlet
located at the rear of the watercraft.
Connect the air pressure hose to the air pressure
adaptor and open air pressure circuit.
The air pressure will expell all water out of engine.
Water and Antifreeze Method
Install a hose pincher to engine drain hose near the
PTO flywheel guard.
The engine drain hose in generally the lowest wa-
ter hose coming out of the engine.
