General Care
Take the watercraft out of the water every day to prevent marine organism growth.
Should any water be present in the bilge, open the drain plugs and tilt the watercraft
rearward in order to allow water to flow out. Wipe off any remaining fluid in the engine
compartment (engine, battery, etc.) with clean dry rags (this is particularly important in salt
water operation).
Additional Care for Foul Water or Salt Water
When the watercraft is operated in salt water, additional care should be taken to
protect the watercraft and its components. Rinse off watercraft's bilge area with fresh water.
CAUTION: Failure to perform proper care such as: watercraft rinsing, exhaust cooling
system flushing or anticorrosion treatment, when watercraft is used in salt water, will result
in damage to the watercraft and its components. Never leave the watercraft stowed in direct
sunlight.
Exhaust Cooling System Flushing
Flushing the exhaust cooling system with fresh water is essential to neutralize
corroding effects of salt or other chemical products present in water.
Flushing should be performed when the watercraft is not expected to be used further
the same day or when the watercraft is stowed for any extended time.
Allow engine to cool before performing any maintenance.
WARNING
POST-OPERATION CARE
Proceed as follows:
1. Clean ride plate up and bottom, and heat exchange by using spray water
2. Clean jet pump by spraying water in its inlet and outlet.
3. Connect a garden hose to exhaust flushing connector, do not open the water tap and do
not start engine yet.
4. To flush the exhaust cooling system, start the engine then immediately open water tap.
5. Run the engine about 30 seconds at a fast idle between 3000 - 4000 RPM.
6. Disconnect the garden hose first, and keep engine running another 10 seconds.
7. Stop the engine.
8. Install the exhaust flush connector cap to close the connector.
