Section 01 MAINTENANCE
Subsection 03 (STORAGE PROCEDURES)
Cooling system flushing should be performed
when the watercraft is not expected to be used
further the same day or when the watercraft is
stored for any extended time.
CAUTION:
Failure to flush open loop cooling
system, when necessary, will severely dam-
age engine intercooler and/or exhaust system.
Make sure engine operates during entire pro-
cedure.
WARNING
Perform this operation in a well ventilated
area. Do not touch any electrical part or jet
pump area when engine is running.
Proceed as follows:
Clean jet pump by spraying water in its inlet and
outlet and then apply a coating of BOMBARDIER
LUBE lubricant (P/N 293 600 016) or equivalent.
WARNING
Always remove safety lanyard cap from post
to prevent unexpected engine starting before
cleaning the jet pump area. Engine must not
be running for this operation.

on Jet Pump Support
All Models
Connect a garden hose to connector located at the
rear of watercraft on jet pump support. Do not
open water tap yet.

craft is out of the water, the heat exchanger
in the ride plate may become very hot. Avoid
any contact with ride plate as burns may oc-
cur.
