OPERATION
Post Operation Maintenance
Daily Care
Remove the watercraft from the water every day to inhibit marine
organism growth on the hull.
1. Remove the watercraft from the water.
2. Purge residual water from the
exhaust system by starting
the engine and
revving it
repeatedly at
partial throttle for
about ten seconds until water no longer comes out. NOTE: If the
craft is towed up or down a steep hill after removing it from the
water, this procedure may be repeated.
The engine may overheat and seize if operated out of water. Never
operate the engine for more than 15 seconds or hold the engine at
full throttle while the watercraft is out of the water.
3. Wash the hull, jet pump intake and outlet with fresh water.
4. Remove the drain plug(s) to drain any water in the bilge.
5. Remove the seat and rinse the engine compartment with a generous
amount of fresh water. After the water has drained, wipe the engine
compartment (bilge) dry with clean towels.
6. If the craft is used in salt water, Polaris recommends that the inside
of the hull (engine and components) be sprayed with T 9 metal
protectant after each use. See page 103.
7. Reinstall the seat.
8. Clean the drain plug(s) and opening(s) and reinstall the plug(s).
9. Drain the engine and flush the cooling system. See page 95.
10. Turn the fuel valve off (if equipped).
