

WARNING

Should the safety lanyard cap is

loose or fail to remain on its post,

avoid unsafe use.

Water Flow in Exhaust
Manifold (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 tem-

perature was below or close to freez-

ing point, water may be frozen in the

supply hose going to the exhaust man-

ifold. This could cause exhaust cool-

ing 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 sup-

ply hose 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 supply hose

might lead to engine components

damage.

NOTE:

When water freezes, no dam-

age to engine components will occur

as water expands but it may cause

damage by preventing full flow of cool-

ing water.
– Either wait until ice melt or pour

some hot water on supply hose go-

ing to exhaust manifold. Then, per-

form the flushing operation again

to make sure water properly flows

out of jet pump. If you need assis-

tance, refer to an authorized Sea-

Doo dealer.



WARNING

Do not use any electrical heating

device to heat the hose. Electrical

devices may generate sparks that

would ignite fuel vapors that might

be present in the bilge causing a

re or an explosion.

– Ensure to drain bilge if water is

present.
