Cooling System Flushing
The watercraft uses the water it's ridden in for propulsion and throughout itscooling
system for cooling.
Flushing the cooling system with fresh water is necessary to neutralize the corrod-
ing effects of salt water or water with impurities like silt, sand, alkali and other partic-
ulates; as well as to flush out other residue left in the water passages of the water-
craft cooling system.
Flush water passages when the watercraft is not going to be ridden again that day
or if the watercraft is expected to be stored for an extended time.
If you beach your craft you must flush thecooling system or severe engine damage
may occur.
Always follow the recommended flushing procedure when flushing the wa-
tercraft cooling system to avoid engine damage.
Never flush a hot engine. Severe engine damage could result.
Do not touch any electrical part when the engine is running. Severe personal
injury or death could result.
