POST-OPERATION CARE
General Care
Remove the craft from the water every
day to prevent marine organisms
growth.
Should any water be present in the
hull, unscrew the drain plugs and tilt
the craft to the rear in order to allow
water to flow out.
Wipe up any remaining fluid in the en-
gine compartment (bilge, engine, bat-
tery, etc.) with clean dry rags (this is
particularly important in salt water
use).
Additional Care for Foul
Water or Salt Water
When the craft is operated in foul wa-
ter and particularly in salt water, addi-
tional care should be taken to protect
the craft and its components. Rinse
trailer and craft‘s bilge area with fresh
water.
CAUTION: Failure to perform proper
care such as: craft rinsing, cooling
system flushing and anticorrosion
treatment, when craft is used in salt
water, will result in damage to the
craft and its components. Never leave
the craft stored in direct sunlight.
Cooling System Flushing
and Engine Internal
Lubrication
General
Flushing the cooling system with
fresh water is essential to neutralize
corroding effects of salt or other chem-
ical products present in water. It will
help to remove sand, salt, shells or oth-
er particles in water jackets (engine,
exhaust manifold, tuned pipe) and/or
hoses.
Engine lubrication and flushing should
be performed when the craft is not ex-
pected to be used further the same
day or when the craft is stored for any
extended time.
Proceed as follows:
Clean jet pump by spraying water in its
inlet and outlet and then apply a coat-
ing of BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant
or equivalent.
Flushing
To flush engine, connect a garden
hose to connector located at the rear
of craft on jet pump support.
NOTE: A quick connect adapter can be
used (P/N 295 500 473). No hose
pincher is required to flush engine.


forming any maintenance.
