Section 01 MAINTENANCE
Subsection 03 (STORAGE PROCEDURES)
CAUTION:
Never run engine without supplying
water to the exhaust cooling system when wa-
tercraft is out of water.
CAUTION:
Never run engine longer than 5 min-
utes. Drive line seal has no cooling when wa-
tercraft is out of water.
Run the engine about 20 seconds at a fast idle
between 4000 - 5000 RPM.
Ensure water flows out of jet pump while flushing.
Close the water tap, then stop the engine.
CAUTION:
Always close the water tap before
stopping the engine.
Unlock and remove coupler hose. Reinstall dust
cap over flushing connector.
Remove hose pincher from water outlet hose.
CAUTION:
Serious damage to exhaust system
can occur if hose pincher is not removed.
CLOSED LOOP COOLING
SYSTEM (ENGINE)
Antifreeze should be replaced for the storage pe-
riod to prevent antifreeze deterioration.
Make sure to perform an antifreeze density test.
For the coolant replacement procedure, refer to
COOLING SYSTEM section.
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.
ENGINE LUBRICATION
Engine must be lubricated to prevent corrosion on
internal parts.
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
(P/N 293 600 016) into 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 re-
installing 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 (blue) (P/N 293 800 060) and
torque the two bolts to 9 N•m (80 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 FUEL TANK AND FUEL PUMP sec-
tion.
THROTTLE BODY LUBRICATION
It is recommended to lubricate the throttle body
to prevent corrosion on external and internal parts
especially if the craft is used in salt water.
Remove the air intake hose from throttle body.
Open the throttle body valve by pressing slightly
the throttle lever and spray BOMBARDIER LUBE
lubricant (P/N 293 600 016) through the throttle
body bore to lubricate valve mechanism. Then
spray generously the external parts of throttle
body.
Install air intake hose.
ANTIFREEZING PROTECTION
Supercharged Intercooled Models
The exhaust system is self draining, but the inter-
cooler and manifold need the following protection.
– Remove both intercooler hoses.
