WATERCRAFT CARE

Remove the watercraft from the water
every day to prevent growth of marine
organisms.

Post-Operation Care

Exhaust System Flushing

The exhaust system should be flushed
daily when watercraft is used in salt or
foul water.

Refer to

MAINTENANCE PROCE-

DURES

.

NOTE:

On supercharged models, the

intercooler is flushed at the same time.

Additional Care for Foul Water or
Salt Water Operation

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 watercraft bilge area with fresh
water.

Never use a high pressure washer to
clean the bilge.

USE LOW PRESSURE

ONLY (such as a garden hose).

High pressure can cause damages to
electrical or mechanical systems.

CAUTION Allow

engine

to

cool before performing any main-
tenance.

NOTICE

Failure to perform proper

care such as: watercraft rinsing, ex-
haust system flushing and anticor-
rosion 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.

Watercraft Cleaning

Body and Hull

Occasionally, wash the hull and various
body components with water and soap
(only use mild detergent). Remove any

marine organisms from engine and/or
hull. Apply non- abrasive wax such as
silicone wax.

NOTICE

Never

clean

fiberglass

and plastic parts with strong deter-
gent, degreasing agent, paint thin-
ner, acetone, or other strong chemi-
cal or petroleum type cleaner.

Stains may be removed from seat and
fiberglass with Knight's Spray-Nine

†

from Korkay System Ltd or the equiva-
lent.

To clean the carpets, use 3M™ Citrus
Base Cleaner (24 oz spay can) or the
equivalent.

Respect the environment by ensuring
fuel, oil or cleaning solutions do not
drain into the waterways.

WARNING

Periodically verify seat(s) lock pin
and tighten if needed. Make sure
seat(s) securely latches.

WARNING

Never apply plastic or vinyl pro-
tector on the carpets or seat as the
surface will become slippery and
the occupants may slip off the wa-
tercraft.
