OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 107 NOTICE End of the Day Checklist NOTICE Since JET SKI personal watercraft are not designed to be docked in the water for extended periods, prolonged immersion in water will cause the hull paint to bubble and peel, as well as electrolytic erosion of some metal parts in the jet pump. To prevent paint damage and electrolytic erosion, remove your JET SKI watercraft from the water at the end of each day's use; do not leave it in the water overnight. Your JET SKI watercraft will last longer and look better if you remove it from the water at the end of every day's use. First, Drain the Exhaust System Remove the watercraft from the water. Start the engine and run it for several seconds to purge the exhaust system of excess water. Rev the engine repeatedly, until water stops coming out of the exhaust at the stern. Running the engine with the watercraft out of the water for more than 15 seconds at a time will cause overheating resulting in engine and exhaust system damage. To prevent engine and exhaust system damage, do not run the engine with the watercraft out of the water for more than 15 seconds at a time. Never operate the engine at maximum speed out of the water. each use in salt water, flush the cooling • After system with fresh water (see the Cooling System Flushing section in the MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS chapter). This will help prevent build up of salt deposits and eventual cooling system blockage. j • • • • • Second, Clean the Engine Compartment Remove the seats. If water has accumulated in the engine compartment, remove the drain screws in the stern to drain water out of the compartment. Be sure to reinstall the drain screws after draining. When the watercraft has been used at sea, rinse the engine room with fresh water.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

End of the Day Checklist
NOTICE
Since JET SKI personal watercraft are not
designed to be docked in the water for ex-
tended
periods,
prolonged
immersion
in
water will cause the hull paint to bubble and
peel, as well as electrolytic erosion of some
metal parts in the jet pump. To prevent paint
damage and electrolytic erosion,
remove
your JET SKI watercraft from the water at the
end of each day’s use; do not leave it in the
water overnight. Your JET SKI watercraft will
last longer and look better if you remove it
from the water at the end of every day’s use.
First, Drain the Exhaust System
•
Remove the watercraft from the water.
•
Start the engine and run it for several seconds to
purge the exhaust system of excess water. Rev
the engine repeatedly, until water stops coming
out of the exhaust at the stern.
NOTICE
Running the engine with the watercraft out
of the water for more than 15 seconds at a
time will cause overheating resulting in en-
gine and exhaust system damage.
To pre-
vent engine and exhaust system damage, do
not run the engine with the watercraft out of
the water for more than 15 seconds at a time.
Never operate the engine at maximum speed
out of the water.
•
After each use in salt water, flush the cooling
system with fresh water (see the Cooling System
Flushing
section
in
the
MAINTENANCE
AND
ADJUSTMENTS chapter). This will help prevent
build up of salt deposits and eventual cooling
system blockage.
Second, Clean the Engine Compartment
•
Remove the seats.
•
If water has accumulated in the engine compart-
ment, remove the drain screws in the stern to drain
water out of the compartment. Be sure to reinstall
the drain screws after draining.
•
When the watercraft has been used at sea, rinse
the engine room with fresh water.
