Cooling System Flushing and
Engine Internal Lubrication
Refer to procedure in POST-OPERATION
CARE.
Battery
Contact your authorized Sea-Doo deal-
er or refer to the appropriate
Shop
Manual
for proper storage procedure.
Anticorrosion Treatment
Wipe off any residual water in the en-
gine compartment.
Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant
or equivalent over metallic components
in engine compartment.
Lubricate the throttle cable with BOM-
BARDIER LUBE lubricant or equivalent.
The front and rear portion of the seat
should be partially left opened and
storage baskets should be removed
during storage. This will avoid engine
compartment condensation and possi-
ble corrosion.
Antifreezing Protection
In cool regions (where freezing point
may be encountered), cooling system
should be filled with an equal part of
water and antifreeze solution.
CAUTION:
Always use ethylene gly-
col antifreeze containing corrosion
inhibitors specifically recommend-
ed for aluminum engines.
Install a hose pincher to engine drain
hose.
TYPICAL
1. Hose pincher installed on engine drain hose
Disconnect engine water outlet hose.
TYPICAL
1. Disconnect engine water inlet hose
Temporarily install a short piece of
hose to engine water outlet at cylinder
head.
Insert a funnel into hose and pour an-
tifreeze mixed with water in engine un-
til the colored solution appears in the
engine drain hose.
Most of the antifreeze will drain out
when removing the hose pincher(s).
Use a container to recover it. DISPOSE
OF ANTIFREEZE AS PER YOUR LO-
CAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
NOTE:
Although antifreeze will mainly
drain out, the antifreeze has mixed
with the water that was possibly
trapped in the cylinder water jackets
and thus preventing freezing problems.
At pre-season preparation, drain the
remaining antifreeze from cooling sys-
tem prior using the craft.
The following steps should be per-
formed to provide the craft enhanced
protection.
Lubricate the throttle cable with BOM-
BARDIER LUBE lubricant or equivalent.
