Section 01 MAINTENANCE
Subsection 03 (STORAGE PROCEDURES)
– Let the intercooler drain, then connect the bot-
tom hose.
– Pour approximately 200 mL (6.76 oz U.S.) of
antifreeze into the intercooler.
– Then pour approximately 300 mL (10.14 oz U.S.)
of antifreeze into the exhaust manifold.
– Reconnect the upper hose.
CAUTION:
It is highly recommended to pour
antifreeze into the intercooler and exhaust
manifold. Failure to do so, may cause severe
damage to these components.
CAUTION:
Use only undiluted antifreeze (100%
concentration). The premixed antifreeze avail-
able from BRP is NOT suitable for this par-
ticular application. Its concentration will be
reduced when mixed with remaining water
trapped in water jackets.
NOTE:
When available, it is recommended to
use biodegradable antifreeze compatible with
internal combustion aluminum engines. This will
contribute to protect the environment.
NOTE:
The engine will not have to run during this
operation but should have been ran before, to ex-
haust as much water as possible, from cooling
system components.
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.
ANTICORROSION TREATMENT
Wipe off any residual water in the engine compart-
ment.
Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant (P/N 293 600
016) over all metallic components in engine com-
partment.
Lubricate the throttle cable with BOMBARDIER
LUBE lubricant (P/N 293 600 016).
Apply the anticorrosion coating (P/N 219 700 304)
on drive shaft. Refer to DRIVE SYSTEM.
The seat and the seat extension should be partial-
ly left opened during storage . This will avoid en-
gine compartment condensation and possible cor-
rosion.
