Storage And Pre-Season Preparation - BOMBARDIER SeaDoo Speedster 200 Operator's Manual

STORAGE AND PRE-SEASON PREPARATION

WARNING
Because fuel and oil are flamma-
ble, have an authorized Sea-Doo
sport boat dealer inspect the fuel
and oil systems integrity as speci-
fied in the PERIODIC INSPECTION
CHART.
Storage
It is recommended that the sport boat
be taken to an authorized dealer for
proper storage but the following oper-
ations can be performed by you with a
minimum of tools.
CAUTION: Do not run the engines
during the storage period.
Fuel System
Sea-Doo fuel stabilizer (or equivalent),
can be added in fuel tank to prevent fuel
deterioration and fuel system gum-
ming. Follow stabilizer manufacturer's
instructions for proper use.
CAUTION: Fuel stabilizer should be
added prior to engine lubrication to
ensure fuel system components pro-
tection against varnish deposits.
WARNING
Always stop the engine before re-
fueling. Fuel is flammable and ex-
plosive under certain conditions.
Always work in a well ventilated ar-
ea. Do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks in the vicinity. Fuel
tank may be pressurized, turn cap
slowly when opening. Never use
an open flame to check fuel level.
When fueling, keep boat level. Do
not overfill or top off the fuel tank
and leave boat in the sun. As tem-
perature increases, fuel expands
and might overflow. Always wipe
off any fuel spillage from the boat.
Periodically verify fuel system.

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 al-
low 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 loosening the spark
plugs, a coil may be used to remove
the spark plugs. Simply bring the coil
down to spark plug and "hook" it to
then extract spark plug.
