Flushing

To flush the exhaust cooling system,

WARNING
Certain components in the engine
compartment may be very hot. Di-
rect contact may result in skin burn.
Do not touch any electrical parts or
jet pump area when engine is run-
ning.
CAUTION: Never flush a hot engine.
Always start the engine before open-
ing the water tap. Open water tap

Run the engine about 20 seconds at a
fast idle between 4000 - 5000 RPM.

ing system when boat is out of water.

Anticorrosion Treatment

To prevent corrosion, spray a corrosion
inhibitor (salt water resistant) such as
BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant or equiv-
alent over metallic components in en-
gine compartment.
NOTE: Engine fogging should be done
with BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant
whenever the boat is to be stored for
few days or a long period.
Apply dielectric grease (salt water re-
sistant) on battery posts and cable con-
nectors.
