MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Hull and Deck Care
The use of non-recommended cleaning or polishing
products could seriously damage the appearance and/or
integrity of your watercraft’s gelcoat surface. We
recommend the use of the Polaris products listed on
page 101. See your Polaris dealer for additional
information about the care of your watercraft.
Salt Water and Unclean Water Care
When the watercraft is operated in salt water or water
with impurities like silt, sand and other particulates,
additional cleaning and maintenance is mandatory after
each use. Clean the jet pump water inlet screen and all
other affected areas of the watercraft. Flush the cooling
system as outlined beginning on page 82.
CAUTION
Failure to perform additional cleaning and
maintenance when the watercraft is operated in
unclean or salt water will result in damage and
corrosion to the watercraft. Clean all affected
areas of the watercraft after every use in salt
water or unclean water.
Jet Pump Water Inlet Screen
The water inlet screen (1)
is located inside the
stationary nozzle of the jet
pump. Its purpose is to
screen out grass and debris
that could enter the
cooling system.
WARNING
Serious injury and damage to the watercraft will
result if the jet pump and impeller are cleaned
while the engine is running. Always stop the
engine, remove the lanyard lock plate and
disconnect the battery before servicing the jet
pump and impeller.
After using the watercraft, visually inspect the screen
for buildup of contaminants. Clean as needed by
flushing the engine and/or screen. See flushing
procedures beginning on page 82.
NOTE:
If the screen cannot be cleaned by flushing,
see your Polaris dealer for additional
cleaning.
