STORAGE AND PRESEASON PREPARATION

Storage

WARNING

Because

fuel

and

oil

are

flammable, have an authorized
Sea-Doo dealer inspect the fuel
system integrity as specified in the
periodic inspection chart.

It is recommended that the watercraft
be serviced by an authorized Sea-Doo
dealer for storage but the following op-
erations can be performed by you with
a minimum of tools.

NOTE: Carry out the following tasks in
the same order as detailed in this sec-
tion.

NOTICE

Do not run the engine dur-

ing the storage period.

Fuel System Protection

Sea-Doo fuel stabilizer (or equivalent),
should be added in fuel tank to pre-
vent fuel deterioration and fuel system
gumming. Follow stabilizer manufac-
turer's instructions for proper use.

NOTICE

Fuel stabilizer should be

added prior to engine lubrication
to ensure fuel system components
protection against varnish deposits.

WARNING

Always stop the engine before re-
fueling. Fuel is flammable and ex-
plosive under certain conditions.
Always work in a well ventilated
area. 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 water-
craft level. Do not overfill or top
off the fuel tank and leave water-
craft in the sun. As temperature
increases, fuel expands and might
overflow. Always wipe off any fuel
spillage from the watercraft. Pe-
riodically verify fuel system. Al-
ways turn the fuel tank valve (if so
equipped) to OFF position when
the watercraft is not in use.

Lube.
