Preseason Preparation - Sea-doo GTX 4-TEC Operator's Manual

Anticorrosion Treatment
Wipe off any residual water in the en-
gine compartment.
Spray XP-S LUBE or equivalent over
metallic components in engine com-
partment.
WARNING
Do not lubricate the safety lanyard
post.
Lubricate the throttle cable with XP-S
LUBE or equivalent.
Drive Shaft Corrosion Protection
To give additional protection to drive
shaft against possible corrosion in salt
water conditions, it is recommended
to bring the watercraft to an authorized
Sea-Doo dealer for proper lubrication.
Final Steps
If any repairs are needed to body or
to the hull, contact your authorized
Sea-Doo dealer. For paint touch up of
mechanical parts use BRP spray paint.
Apply a good quality marine wax to the
body.
The seat and the seat extension
should be partially left opened. This
will prevent engine compartment con-
densation and possible corrosion.
If the watercraft is to be stored out-
side, cover it with an opaque tarpaulin
to prevent sun rays and grime from af-
fecting the plastic components, water-
craft finish as well as preventing dust
accumulation.
CAUTION: The watercraft should
never be left in water for storage.
Never leave the watercraft stored
in direct sunlight. Never store wa-
tercraft in a plastic bag.

Preseason Preparation

Use the following chart.
Since technical skills and special
tools are required, some operations
should be performed by an authorized
Sea-Doo dealer.
Only perform procedures as de-
tailed in this guide. It is recom-
mended that the assistance of an
authorized Sea-Doo dealer be peri-
odically obtained on other compo-
nents/systems not covered in this
guide.
fied, engine must not be running
and the safety lanyard must be re-
moved from its post for all main-
tenance procedures. Components

tions seem less than satisfactory,

approved equivalents.
