OPERATION
Post Operation Maintenance
Daily Care
Remove the watercraft from the water every day to
inhibit marine organism growth on the hull.
1. Remove the watercraft from the water.
CAUTION
The engine may overheat and seize if operated
out of water. Never operate the engine for more
than five (5) seconds or hold the engine at full
throttle while the watercraft is out of the water.
2. Purge residual water from the exhaust system by
starting the engine and revving it repeatedly at
partial throttle for about five (5) seconds until
water no longer comes out.
NOTE:
If the craft is towed up or down a steep hill
after removing it from the water, this
procedure may be repeated.
3. Wash the hull, jet pump intake and outlet with
fresh water.
4. Remove the drain plugs to drain the bilge.
5. Remove the seat and rinse the engine compartment
with a generous amount of fresh water. After the
water has drained, wipe the engine compartment
(bilge) dry with clean towels.
6. If the craft is used in salt water, Polaris
recommends that the inside of the hull (engine and
components) be sprayed with T9 metal protectant
after each use. See page 101 for part numbers of
Polaris products.
7. Reinstall the seat.
8. Clean the drain plugs and openings and reinstall
the plugs.
9. Drain the engine and flush the cooling system as
outlined beginning on page 82.
