CAUTION: Properly follow the in-
structions given in the flushing pro-
cedure.
Close the water tap, then stop the en-
gine.
Lubrication
Pull engine cover upward to remove it.
Disconnect ignition coil connectors.
WARNING
When disconnecting coil from
spark plug, always disconnect coil
from main harness first. Never
check for engine ignition spark
from an open coil and/or spark
plug in the engine compartment
as spark may cause fuel vapor to
ignite.
IMPORTANT: Never cut the locking
ties of ignition coil connectors. This
would allow mixing the wires between
cylinders.
Remove ignition coils.
CAUTION: Ensure there is no dirt
in coil holes prior to removing the
spark plugs. Otherwise, dirt would
fall into cylinder and will damage
the internal components.
Remove spark plugs.
NOTE: After untightening the spark
plugs, a coil may be used to pull the
spark plugs out. Simply bring the coil
down to spark plug and "hook" it to
then extract spark plug.
Spray XP-S LUBE or equivalent, in
spark plug holes.
To prevent fuel to be injected and also
to cut the ignition at the engine crank-
ing, proceed as follows.
While engine is stopped, fully depress
throttle lever and HOLD for cranking.
Crank the engine a few turns to distrib-
ute the oil on cylinder wall.
Apply anti-seize lubricant on spark plug
threads then reinstall them.

NOTE: Prior to inserting the igni-
tion coil to its location, apply some
Molykote 111 grease (P/N 413 707
000) around the seal area that touches
the spark plug hole. After installation,
ensure the seal seats properly with
the engine top surface.
Reinstall ignition coils. Reconnect ig-
nition coil connectors.
To reinstall engine cover, push it down-
ward until it snaps.

Engine Cooling System
Antifreeze should be replaced for the
storage period to prevent antifreeze
deterioration.
The antifreeze replacement and a den-
sity test should be performed by an au-
thorized Sea-Doo dealer.
CAUTION: Improper antifreeze mix-
ture might allow freezing of the liq-
uid in the cooling system if vehi-
cle is stored in area where freezing
point is reached. This would seri-
ously damage the engine. Failure
to replace the antifreeze for stor-
age may allow its degradation that
could result in poor cooling when
engine will be used.
Bilge Cleaning
The following steps should be per-
formed to provide the watercraft en-
hanced protection.
Clean the bilge with hot water and de-
tergent or with bilge cleaner. Rinse
thoroughly. Lift front end of water-
craft to completely drain bilge.
