Post-operation checks
Always perform the following post-opera-
tion checks after operating the watercraft.

Stay away from stern when engine is run-
ning on land. Hot water and steam spurt-
ing from exhaust outlet into the air can

compartment for water. To drain excess
water, remove the stern drain plugs, then
raise the bow of the watercraft enough to
allow water in the bilge to drain out.
NOTE:
@
This watercraft is equipped with an auto-
matic bilge-draining system that removes
water from the engine compartment while
you are underway. However, some residual
water will remain.

4. Put the watercraft in a horizontal posi-
tion.
5. Flush the cooling system to prevent it
from clogging with salt, sand, or dirt.
(See page 4-1 for flushing the cooling
system procedures.)
6. Drain residual water from the exhaust sys-
tem by running the engine at 4,000 r/min
for 10 to 15 seconds.
CAUTION:
@
Do not run engine over 4,000 r/min on
land. Otherwise catalytic converter could
sustain serious damage.
