FUEL SYSTEM
Verify fuel system. Check fuel lines and carbure-
tor(s),
if so equipped
, for leaks. Replace damaged
hoses or clamps if necessary.
Sea-Doo Fuel Stabilizer (P/N 413 408 600) or equiv-
alent should be added in fuel tank to prevent fuel
deterioration and,
if so equipped
, carburetor(s)
gumming. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for
proper use.
On
RFI
and
DI models
, fill up fuel tank completely.
Ensure there is no water inside fuel tank.
CAUTION:
Should any water be trapped inside
fuel tank, severe internal damage will occur to
the fuel injection system.
CAUTION:
Fuel stabilizer should be added prior
to engine lubrication to ensure fuel system com-
ponents protection against varnish deposits.
Carburetor-Equipped Models
Always turn the fuel valve to OFF position when
storing the watercraft.
COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHING
AND ENGINE INTERNAL
LUBRICATION
All Models
Cooling system has to be flushed
with fresh wa-
ter
to prevent salt, sand or dirt accumulation which
will clog water passages.
Engine must be lubricated to prevent corrosion on
internal parts.
For proper procedure, refer to FLUSHING AND
LUBRICATION.
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. Replace
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, watercraft
finish as well as preventing dust accumulation.
CAUTION:
The watercraft must never be Ieft in
water for storage. Never leave the watercraft
stored in direct sunlight.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDED
PROTECTION
NOTE:
This procedure requires approximately 2.5 L
(2.6 U.S. qt.) of antifreeze.
All Models
In cool regions (where freezing point may be en-
countered), cooling system should be filled with
water and antifreeze solution (40% water, 60%
antifreeze).
CAUTION:
Remaining water in cooling system
will freeze. If antifreezing is not performed ade-
quately engine/exhaust system may freeze and
cause severe engine damage. Always use ethyl-
ene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion inhib-
itors specifically recommended for aluminum
engines.
NOTE:
When available, it is recommended to use
biodegradable antifreeze compatible with internal
combustion aluminum engines. This will
contrib-
ute to protect the environment.
NOTE:
The engine will not have to run during this
operation.
WARNING
Fuel is inflammable and explosive under cer-
tain conditions. Always work in a well ventilat-
ed area. Do not smoke or allow open flames or
sparks in the vicinity. Fuel tank may be pres-
surized, slowly turn cap when opening. Never
use an open flame to check fuel level. When
fueling, keep watercraft level. Do not overfill or
top off the fuel tank and leave watercraft in the
sun. As temperature increases, fuel expands
and might overflow. Always wipe off any fuel
spillage from the watercraft. Always wipe off
any fuel spillage from the watercraft. Always
turn the fuel tank valve (
if so equipped
) to OFF
position when storing the
watercraft.
