1. Hose pincher to water return hose
Insert a funnel into hose and pour an-
tifreeze mixed with water in engine
until the colored solution appears in
the water return hose of the magneto
cooling circuit.
Remove temporary hose and recon-
nect engine water outlet hose.
Remove hose pinchers.
All Models
Most of the antifreeze will drain out
when removing the hose pincher(s).
Use a container to recover it. DIS-
POSE OF ANTIFREEZE AS PER YOUR
LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
NOTE: Although antifreeze will mainly
drain out, the antifreeze has mixed with
the water that was possibly trapped in
the cylinder water jackets and thus pre-
venting freezing problems.
On GSX RFI AND GTX RFI models, the
antifreeze will mix with water trapped
in the crankcase heat exchanger and
in the magneto cooling circuit.
At pre-season preparation, drain the
remaining antifreeze from cooling sys-
tem prior using the watercraft.
The following steps should be per-
formed to provide the watercraft en-
hanced protection.
Lubricate the throttle cable with BOM-
BARDIER LUBE lubricant.
Clean the bilge with hot water and de-
tergent or with bilge cleaner. Rinse
thoroughly. Lift front end of watercraft
to completely drain bilge. If any repairs
are needed to body or to the hull con-
tact your dealer. For paint touch up to
mechanical parts use Bombardier
spray paint. For small gelcoat repairs,
a Bombardier repair kit is available.
See ACCESSORIES AND SERVICE
PRODUCTS section. Replace dam-
aged labels/decals.
NOTE: Bilge cleaning should be done
prior to anticorrosion treatment.
Wash the body with soap and water
solution (only use mild detergent).
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Re-
move marine organisms from the hull.
Apply a good quality marine wax.
Never clean apparent fiberglass
and plastic parts with strong de-
tergent, degreasing agent, paint
thinner, acetone, etc.
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, wa-
tercraft finish as well as preventing
dust accumulation.
The watercraft must never be left
in water for storage. Never leave
the watercraft stored in direct
sunlight.
