Operating instructions

90
CAUTION: Antifreeze mix must be
fed in cooling system. Otherwise
remaining water will freeze. This op-
eration requires a good technical
knowledge of the cooling system
path. If antifreezing is not performed
adequately engine/exhaust system
may freeze and cause severe engine
damage. We strongly recommend
this operation be performed by an
authorized SEA-DOO dealer.
CAUTION: Always use ethylene gly-
col antifreeze containing corrosion
inhibitors specifically recommended
for aluminum engines.
NOTE: When available, it is recom-
mended to use biodegradable anti-
freeze compatible with internal com-
bustion aluminum engines. This will
contribute to protect the environment.
NOTE: The engine will not have to run
during this operation but should have
been ran before, to exhaust as much
water as possible, from cooling sys-
tem components.
NOTE: On some models, it may be
easier to reach hoses when you re-
move the vent tube support.
