Disconnect ignition coil connectors.
IMPORTANT:
Never cut the locking ties
of ignition coil connectors. This would al-
low mixing the wires between cylinders.
Remove ignition coils.
CAUTION:
Ensure there is no dirt in
coil holes prior to removing the spark
plugs. Otherwise, dirt would fall into
cylinder and will damage the internal
components.
Remove spark plugs.
NOTE:
After untightening the spark
plugs, a coil may be used to pull the
spark plugs out. Simply bring the coil
down to spark plug and “hook” it to
then extract spark plug.
Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant
or equivalent, in spark plug holes.
To prevent fuel to be injected and also
to cut the ignition at the engine crank-
ing, proceed as follows.
While engine is stopped, fully depress
throttle lever and HOLD for cranking.
Crank the engine a few turns to distrib-
ute the oil on cylinder wall.
Apply anti-seize lubricant on spark plug
threads then reinstall them.
NOTE:
Prior to inserting the ignition coil to
its location, apply some BOMBARDIER
LUBE lubricant around the seal area that
touches the spark plug hole. After installa-
tion, ensure the seal seats properly with
the engine top surface.
Reinstall ignition coils. Reconnect igni-
tion coil connectors.
To reinstall engine cover, push it down-
ward until it snaps.
Wipe up any residual water from the
engine.
Disconnect the garden hose.
NOTE:
It is recommended to fog the
engine valves with BOMBARDIER
LUBE lubricant. Contact your autho-
rized Sea-Doo dealer.
Battery
Contact your authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
Engine Cooling System
Test the density of the coolant using an
antifreeze hydrometer.
NOTE:
Follow hydrometer manufactur-
er’s instructions for proper use.
The reading should be some degrees
below the coldest temperature you ex-
pect in the area where the watercraft
is to be stored.
Add water or antifreeze accordingly.
Refill to the proper level. Refer to LIQ-
UIDS.
CAUTION:
Pure antifreeze will freeze
at a lower temperature than the opti-
mal water/antifreeze mix.
Bilge Cleaning
The following steps should be per-
formed to provide the watercraft en-
hanced protection.
Clean the bilge with hot water and de-
tergent or with bilge cleaner. Rinse
thoroughly. Lift front end of watercraft
to completely drain bilge.
Anticorrosion Treatment
Wipe off any residual water in the en-
gine compartment.
Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant
or equivalent over metallic compo-
nents in engine compartment.
Lubricate the throttle cable with BOM-
BARDIER LUBE lubricant or equivalent.
WARNING
When disconnecting coil from spark
plug, always disconnect coil from
main harness first. Never check for
engine ignition spark from an open
coil and/or spark plug in the engine
compartment as spark may cause
fuel vapor to ignite.
WARNING
Do not lubricate the safety lanyard
post.
