Hull
Inspect hull for cracks or damage.
Jet Pump Water Intake
Remove weeds, shells, debris or any-
thing else that could restrict the flow
of water and damage cooling system
or propulsion unit. Clean as neces-
sary. If any obstruction can not be re-
moved, refer to an authorized Sea-Doo
dealer for servicing.
Inspect leading edges of the impeller,
if they have nicks or bends perfor-
mance will be greatly reduced.
Bilge
Should water be present in the bilge,
install safety lanyard on its post to start
the electric bilge pump. If some water
remains in bilge, tilt the watercraft to
the rear and unscrew drain plugs to
completely empty the bilge.
Secure bilge drain plugs.
WARNING
Make sure drain plugs are properly
secured prior to launching the wa-
tercraft in water.
Water Flow in Cooling
System (only when
temperature is below
or close to freezing point)
In Northern areas, if watercraft is to
be used when temperature is below
or close to freezing point (0°C (32°F))
or if watercraft was left unused while
temperature was below or close to
freezing point, water may be frozen
in cooling system hoses. This could
cause cooling system overheating. To
ensure it is properly working, do the
following prior to using the watercraft:
– The procedure is to be performed
with watercraft out of water.
– Connect a garden hose to the flush-
ing connector at jet pump.
– Perform the flushing operation as
explained
in
POST-OPERATION
CARE.
– Ensure water flows out of jet pump.
Otherwise, water is frozen in cool-
ing system and restricts water flow.
Do not operate the watercraft in
this condition.
NOTE:
Pay attention that some water
will also flow out of exhaust outlet.
Make sure water is effectively flowing
out of jet pump.
CAUTION:
Operating
watercraft
with frozen water in cooling system
might lead to engine components
damage.
NOTE:
When water freezes, damage
to engine components should not oc-
cur because of water expansion, but
because it prevents full flow of cool-
ing water.
– Either wait until ice melts or pour
some hot water to cooling sys-
tem components and to engine.
Then, perform the flushing oper-
ation again to make sure water
properly flows out of jet pump. If
you need assistance, refer to an
authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
WARNING
Do not use any electrical heating
device to heat the cooling system.
Electrical devices may generate
sparks that would ignite fuel va-
pors that might be present in the
bilge causing a fire or an explo-
sion.
– Ensure to drain bilge if water is
present.
