FLUSHING AND LUBRICATION
2
GENERAL
Flushing the cooling system with fresh water is
essential to neutralize corroding effects of salt or
other chemical products present in water. It will
help to clean up sand, salt, shells or other particles
in water jackets (engine, exhaust manifold, tuned
pipe) and / or hoses.
Flushing and engine lubrication should be per-
formed when the watercraft is not expected to be
used further the same day or when the watercraft
is stored for any extended time.
WARNING : Failure to flush cooling sys-
tem, when necessary, will severely dam-
age engine and / or exhaust system. Never
flush a hot engine. Make sure engine operates
during entire procedure.
PROCEDURE
WARNING : Perform this operation in a
well ventilated area. Do not touch any
electrical parts or jet pump area when engine
is running.
Clean jet pump by spraying water in its inlet and
outlet and then spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubri-
cant.
WARNING : Always remove safety lan-
yard cap from switch to prevent acciden-
tal engine starting before cleaning the jet
pump area. Engine must not be running for
this operation.
Remove seat to allow access of cooling system
(except for the HX model).
All Models Except the HX

pler hose is properly locked to fitting spigot.
Install a hose pincher on water outlet hose.
NOTE :
This prevents water from exiting
through outlet socket. Remove hose pinch-
er after flushing operation.
