POST-OPERATION CARE
General Care
Remove the watercraft from the water
every day to prevent marine organisms
growth.
Should any water be present in the hull,
unscrew the drain plugs and tilt the wa-
tercraft to the rear in order to allow wa-
ter to flow out.
Wipe up any remaining fluid in the en-
gine compartment (bilge, engine, bat-
tery, etc.) with clean dry rags (this is par-
ticularly important in salt water use).
Additional Care for Foul
Water or Salt Water
When the watercraft is operated in foul
water and particularly in salt water, ad-
ditional care should be taken to protect
the watercraft and its components.
Rinse trailer and watercraft‘s bilge area
with fresh water.
CAUTION:
Failure to perform proper
care such as:
watercraft
rinsing, cool-
ing system flushing and anticorro-
sion treatment, when watercraft is
used in salt water, will result in dam-
age to the
watercraft
and its compo-
nents. Never leave the
watercraft
stored in direct sunlight.
Cooling System Flushing
and Engine Internal
Lubrication
General
Flushing the cooling system
with fresh
water
is essential to neutralize corrod-
ing effects of salt or other chemical prod-
ucts present in water. It will help to re-
move sand, salt, shells or other particles
in water jackets (engine, exhaust mani-
fold, 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 apply a coat-
ing of BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant
or equivalent.
Connect a garden hose to connector
located at the rear of watercraft on jet
pump support.
NOTE:
A quick connect adapter can be
used (P/N 295 500 473). No hose pinch-
er is required to flush engine.
TYPICAL
1. Hose adapter
2. Quick connect adapter (not mandatory)
3. Garden hose
NOTE:
The quick connect adapter may
be supplied with
some models
. It has
to be removed if you do not use a quick
connect adapter on your garden hose.
WARNING
Allow engine to cool before per-
forming any maintenance.
WARNING
Perform this operation in a well ven-
tilated area.
