Section 02 MAINTENANCE
Subsection 04 (STORAGE)
NOTE: Most of the antifreeze will drain out when
removing the hose pinchers. Use a container to
recover it. DISPOSE ANTIFREEZE AS PER YOUR
LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
1) Bleed outlet hose.
2) Engine drain hose (crankcase cooling cover
outlet).
3) Engine cylinder drain hose.
4) Water outlet hose.
5) Water inlet hose.
Install a temporary hose on the open fitting of the
water regulator valve.
Pour approximately 200 mL (7 oz) of antifreeze
in the temporary hose to allow antifreeze flowing
through the water regulator valve and into muffler
to protect them.
Remove temporary hoses and reinstall the factory
hose to water regulator valve.
NOTE: Although antifreeze will mainly drain out,
the antifreeze has mixed with the water that was
possibly trapped in the water jackets and thus pre-
venting freezing problems.
At preseason preparation, drain the remaining an-
tifreeze from cooling system prior to using the wa-
tercraft. Ensure no hose pincher was forgotten at
storage.
4-TEC Engines
Refer to the COOLING SYSTEM section.
Antifreeze should be replaced for the storage pe-
riod to prevent antifreeze deterioration.
Make sure to perform an antifreeze density test.
CAUTION: Improper antifreeze mixture might
allow freezing of the liquid in the cooling sys-
tem if vehicle is stored in area where freezing
point is reached. This would seriously damage
the engine. Failure to replace the antifreeze
for storage may allow its degradation that
could result in poor cooling when engine will
be used.
All Models
ANTICORROSION TREATMENT
Wipe off any residual water in the engine compart-
ment.
Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant over all
metallic components in engine compartment.
Lubricate the throttle cable with BOMBARDIER
LUBE lubricant.
4-TEC Models
Apply an anticorrosion product on drive shaft. Re-
fer to PROPULSION.
All Models
The seat should be partially left opened during
storage (the engine cover for the XP DI models).
This will avoid engine compartment condensation
and possible corrosion.
CHECKLIST
OPERATION
✔
Check engine drain hose(s).
Drain and clean impeller shaft reservoir (except
4-TEC engines).

4-TEC Engines the engine (4-TEC engines).
Change engine oil and filter (4-TEC engines).
Lubricate the engine.
Remove, clean and store the battery.
Clean the bilge.
Wash the body.
Add antifreeze solution to the cooling system (in
cool regions) (except 4-TEC engines).
Replace antifreeze. Check solution
concentration in the cooling system (in cool
regions) (4-TEC engines).
Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE over all metallic
components in engine compartment and in
throttle cable.
Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE in oil injection pump
cable (except 4-TEC engines).
