Anticorrosion Treatment; Additional Recommended Protection - Sea-doo RX Shop Manual

ANTICORROSION TREATMENT

Wipe off any residual water in the engine compart-
ment.
Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant over all me-
tallic components in engine compartment.
Lubricate the throttle cable with BOMBARDIER
LUBE lubricant.
The seat should be partially left opened during
storage. This will avoid engine compartment con-
densation and possible corrosion.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDED
PROTECTION
All Models
In cool regions (where freezing point may be en-
countered), cooling system should be emptied
with air pressure or filled with water and antifreeze
solution (40% water, 60% antifreeze).
CAUTION: Remaining water in cooling system
will freeze. Either antifreeze must be added or
water must be expelled with air compressed.
This operation requires a good technical knowl-
edge of the cooling system path. If antifreezing
is not performed adequately engine/exhaust
system may freeze and cause severe engine
damage. Always use ethylene glycol antifreeze
containing corrosion inhibitors specifically rec-
ommended for aluminum engines.
NOTE: The engine will not have to run during this
operation.
Air Pressure Method
Install an air pressure adaptor to the water outlet
located at the rear of the watercraft.
Connect the air pressure hose to the air pressure
adaptor and open air pressure circuit.
The air pressure will expel all water out of engine.
Water and Antifreeze Method
Hose Pinchers Installation
Some hoses have to be plugged to prevent drain-
ing, before filling cooling system jackets with the
antifreeze.
