Storage; Cooling System Flushing - Yamaha EXCITER SE Owner's Manual

STORAGE

Storing your Jet Boat for prolonged
periods of time, such as winter storage,
requires preventative maintenance to
ensure against deterioration. It is
advisable to have the Jet Boat serviced
by an authorized Yamaha Jet Boat
dealer before storage. However, the fol-
lowing procedures can be performed
by the owner with a minimum of tools.
FUEL SYSTEM
Top off the fuel tank with fresh fuel,
adding one ounce of Yamaha Fuel
Conditioner and Stabilizer or an equiv-
alent to each gallon of fuel. A full fuel
tank is less likely to allow condensation
to collect in the tank, reducing the
chance of contaminated fuel. Running
the engine with treated fuel during
cooling system flushing will also help
protect carburetors and fuel lines.
_________________
NOTE:
Use of Yamaha Fuel Conditioner and
Stabilizer eliminates the need to drain
the fuel system. Consult your Yamaha
dealer or other qualified mechanic if
the fuel system is to be drained
instead.
