MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
This section includes instructions for
basic maintenance procedures. If you
have the necessary mechanical skills
and the required tools, you can per-
form these procedures. If not, see
your authorized Sea-Doo Boats dealer.
Other important items in the mainte-
nance schedule that are more difficult
and require special tools are best per-
formed by your authorized Sea-Doo
Boats dealer.
WARNING
Turn off the engines and follow
these
maintenance procedures
when performing maintenance.
If you do not follow proper main-
tenance procedures you can be
injured by hot parts, moving parts,
electricity, chemicals or other haz-
ards.
WARNING
Should removal of a locking de-
vice be required (e.g. lock tabs,
self-locking fasteners, etc.), al-
ways replace it with a new one.
CAUTION Some components
in the engine compartment may be
very hot.
Engine Oil
Recommended Engine Oil
Twin 155 Engines
Use XPS 4-STROKE SYNTH. BLEND
OIL (SUMMER) (P/N 293 600 121).
NOTE: This engine has been devel-
oped and validated using the XPS™
Synthetic blend oil. BRP strongly rec-
ommends the use of its XPS Synthetic
blend oil at all times.
If XPS™ engine oil is not available, use
a 10W40
mineral engine oil compati-
ble with wet clutches.
NOTICE
NEVER use synthetic oil.
This would impair the proper opera-
tion of the supercharger clutch. Do
not add any additives to the recom-
mended oil. Mineral oils (API ser-
vice SM or SL) may also contain ad-
ditives (friction modifiers) that may
cause inappropriate slippage of the
supercharger clutch and eventually
lead to premature wear. Damages
caused by oil which is not suitable
for the engine will not be covered by
the BRP limited warranty.
