Propulsion System
Lubricant in jet pump reservoir should
be drained and reservoir cleaned. Re-
fer to an authorized SEA-DOO dealer
for this operation.
Grease lubrication point(s) of propulsion
system as explained in MAINTENANCE
section.
Fuel System
SEA-DOO fuel stabilizer (or equiva-
lent), can be added in fuel tank to pre-
vent fuel deterioration and carburetor
gumming. Follow manufacturer’s in-
structions for proper use.
CAUTION: Fuel stabilizer should be
added prior to engine lubrication to
ensure fuel system components pro-
tection against varnish deposits.
Cooling System Flushing and
Engine Internal Lubrication
Refer to procedure in POST-OPERATION
CARE.
Battery
Contact your authorized SEA-DOO dealer.
Antifreezing Protection
NOTE: This procedure requires approxi-
mately 2.5 L (2.6 U.S. qt.) (2.8 L (3 U.S.
qt.) on XP DI models) of antifreeze.
In cool regions where freezing point
may be encountered, cooling system
should be filled with an equal part of
water and antifreeze solution.
CAUTION: Antifreeze mix must be
fed in cooling system. Otherwise
remaining water will freeze. This op-
eration requires a good technical
knowledge of the cooling system
path. If antifreezing is not performed
adequately engine/exhaust system
may freeze and cause severe engine
damage. We strongly recommend
this operation be performed by an
authorized SEA-DOO dealer.
CAUTION: Always use ethylene gly-
col antifreeze containing corrosion
inhibitors specifically recommended
for 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.
NOTE: The engine will not have to run
during this operation but should have
been ran before, to exhaust as much
water as possible, from cooling sys-
tem components.
NOTE: On some models, it may be
easier to reach hoses when you re-
move the vent tube support.

WARNING
Always stop the engine before re-
fueling. Fuel is flammable and ex-
plosive under certain conditions.
Always work in a well ventilated ar-
ea. Do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks in the vicinity. Fuel
tank may be pressurized, turn cap
slowly when opening. Never use
an open flame to check fuel level.
When fueling, keep watercraft lev-
el. Do not overfill or top off the fuel
tank and leave watercraft in the
sun. As temperature increases, fuel
expands and might overflow. Al-
ways wipe off any fuel spillage
from the watercraft. Periodically
verify fuel system. Always turn the
fuel tank valve (if so equipped) to
OFF position when the watercraft is
not in use.
