Engine Coolant
Recommended Coolant
Always use ethylene-glycol antifreeze
containing corrosion inhibitors specifi-
cally for internal combustion aluminum
engines.
NOTE: When available, it is recom-
mended to use biodegradable anti-
freeze compatible with internal com-
bustion aluminum engines. This will
contribute to protect the environment.
Cooling system must be filled with wa-
ter and antifreeze solution (50% water,
50% antifreeze).
Bombardier sells premixed coolant with
freezing protection up to - 52°C (- 62°F)
(P/N 293 600 038).
To prevent antifreeze deterioration, al-
ways use the same brand. Never mix
different brands unless cooling system
is completely flushed and refilled. Refer
to an authorized Bombardier Sea-Doo
dealer.
Coolant Level
With vehicle on a level surface, liquid
should be between MIN. and MAX.
level marks of coolant reservoir when
engine is cold.
1. Level between marks when engine is cold
NOTE: The sport boat is level when it
is in water. When on a trailer, raise trail-
er tongue and block in this position
when bumper rail is level.
Add coolant to have the level between
marks as required. Use a funnel to
avoid spillage. Do not overfill.
Properly reinstall and tighten filler cap.
NOTE: A cooling system that frequent-
ly requires coolant is the indication of
leaks or engine problems. See an au-
thorized Bombardier Sea-Doo dealer.
