FLUSHING AND LUBRICATION

GENERAL

Flushing
Flushing the cooling system with fresh water is
essential to neutralize corroding effects of salt or
other chemical products present in water. It will
help to clean up sand, salt, shells or other particles
in water jackets (engine, exhaust manifold, tuned
pipe) and/or hoses.
Cooling system flushing and engine internal lubri-
cation should be performed when the watercraft
is not expected to be used further the same day
or when the watercraft is stored for any extended
time.
CAUTION: Failure to flush cooling system, when
necessary, will severely damage engine and/or
exhaust system. Never flush a hot engine. Make
sure engine operates during entire procedure.

PROCEDURE

outlet and then spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubri-
cant.
WARNING
Always remove safety lanyard cap from
switch to prevent accidental engine starting
before cleaning the jet pump area. Engine
