Flushing
To flush the exhaust cooling system,
start the engine
then
immediately
open the water tap.
CAUTION:
Never flush a hot engine.
Always start the engine before open-
ing the water tap. Open water tap
immediately after engine is started
to prevent overheating.
Run the engine about 20 seconds at a
fast idle between 4000 - 5000 RPM.
CAUTION:
Never run engine without
supplying water to the exhaust cool-
ing system when watercraft is out of
water.
Ensure water flows out of exhaust out-
let while flushing. Otherwise, refer to

ing.

gine.
CAUTION:
Always close the water
tap before stopping the engine.

BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant or equiv-
alent over metallic components in en-
gine compartment.

sistant) on battery posts and cable con-
nectors.

Never leave rags or tools
in the engine compartment or in the
bilge.
