Section 02 MAINTENANCE
Subsection 04 (STORAGE)
Fogging of the engine is recommended at the end
of the season and before any extended storage
period to provide additional corrosion protection.
This will lubricate the engine intake valves, the
cylinders and the exhaust valves.
To fog the engine, proceed as follows:
– Remove the two bolts that hold the fuel rail on.
– Remove the rail along with the three fuel injec-
tors.
– Spray liberally BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant in-
to the intake ports.
– Crank engine several times while keeping throt-
tle fully depressed (drown engine mode) to dis-
tribute lubricant in cylinders, on intake valves and
exhaust valves.
– Carefully inspect O-rings condition before rein-
stalling fuel injectors. Replace O-rings with new
ones if damaged. Lubricate O-rings with injection
oil prior to installing.
– Reinstall the injectors.
– Apply Loctite 243 and torque the two bolts to
10 N•m (89 lbf•
in ) that hold the fuel rail on.
– Make sure there is no leak at injectors when
cranking the engine in the upcoming steps.

WARNING
If a leak is present, immediately stop the en-
gine. Do not start engine until the leak is re-
paired.

WARNING
At preseason preparation, ensure to perform
a fuel pressure test and ensure there is no
leak. Also run engine and check for leaks.
Refer to ENGINE MANAGEMENT section.

BATTERY
For battery removal, cleaning and storage, refer to
CHARGING SYSTEM.
WATERCRAFT CLEANING
Clean the bilge with hot water and mild detergent
or with bilge cleaner. Rinse thoroughly. Lift front
end of watercraft to completely drain bilge. If any
repairs are needed to body or to the hull, touch
up paint and Gelcote
® repair kit are available. Re-
place damaged labels/decals.
Wash the body with soap and water solution (only
use mild detergent). Rinse thoroughly with fresh
water. Remove marine organisms from the hull.
Apply a nonabrasive wax.
CAUTION: Never clean fiberglass and plastic
parts with strong detergent, degreasing agent,
paint thinner, acetone, etc.
If the watercraft is to be stored outside, cover it
with an opaque tarpaulin to prevent sun rays and
grime from affecting the plastic components, wa-
tercraft finish as well as preventing dust accumu-
lation.
CAUTION: The watercraft must never be left in
water for storage. Never leave the watercraft
stored in direct sunlight.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDED
PROTECTION
All 2-Stroke Models
In cool regions (where freezing point may be en-
countered), cooling system should be filled pure
antifreeze.
CAUTION: Antifreeze must be fed in cool-
ing system. Otherwise remaining water will
freeze. If antifreezing is not performed ad-
equately engine/exhaust system may freeze
and cause severe damage. Always use ethy-
lene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion
inhibitors specifically recommended for alu-
minum engines.
CAUTION: Use only undiluted antifreeze (100%
concentration). The pre-mixed antifreeze
available from Bombardier Recreational Prod-
ucts Inc. is not suitable for this particular appli-
cation. Its concentration will be reduced when
mixed with remaining water trapped in water
jackets. Always use ethylene glycol antifreeze
containing
corrosion inhibitors specifically
recommended for aluminum engines. Never
use antifreeze for RV (recreational vehicles).
