POST-OPERATION CARE ________________________
General Care
Should any water be present in the
hull, unscrew the drain plug and tilt the
watercraft to the rear in order to allow
water to flow out.
Wipe up any remaining liquid in the en-
gine compartment (bilge, engine, bat-
tery, etc.) with clean dry rags (this is par-
ticularly important in salt water use).
Remove the watercraft from the wa-
ter every day to prevent marine organ-
isms growth.
Leave the seat partially opened (ex-
cept HX). This will avoid engine com-
partment condensation and possible
corrosion.
HX Model
Open rear cover partially.
All Models
NOTE: When the watercraft is
stored with seat partially opened
and without a tarpaulin, unscrew the
drain plug in order to avoid water build
up in the bilge during rainfall.
Additional Care for Foul
Water or Salt Water
When the watercraft is operated in
foul water and particularly in salt wa-
ter, additional care must be taken to
protect the watercraft and its compo-
nents. Rinse bilge area with fresh wa-
ter.
Cooling System Flushing
and Engine Internal
Lubrication
Flushing the cooling system with
fresh water is essential to neutralize
corroding effects of salt or other
chemical products present in water. It
will help to clean up sand, salt, shells
or other particles in water jackets (en-
gine, exhaust manifold, tuned pipe)
and/or hoses.
Engine lubrication and flushing should
be performed when the watercraft is
not expected to be used further the
same day or when the watercraft is
stored for any extended time.
Proceed as follows:
Clean jet pump by spraying water in its
inlet and outlet and then BOMBAR-
DIER LUBE lubricant.
Remove seat to allow access to cool-
ing system (for the HX model, open
hood).
SP/SPX/GTS Models
Remove dust cap from fitting spigot
and attach coupler hose (P/N 295 500
099). Make sure coupler hose is prop-
erly locked to fitting spigot.
Install a hose pincher on water outlet
hose.
NOTE: This prevents water from
directly exiting cooling system.
-
CAUTION
Failure to perform proper care
such as: watercraft rinsing, cool-
ing system flushing and anticor-
rosion treatment, when water-
craft is used in salt water, will re-
sult in damage to the watercraft
and its components. Never leave
the watercraft stored in direct
sunlight. UV rays will eventually
dull finishes.

WARNING
Perform this operation in a well
ventilated area.
