OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Exhaust System Flushing
NOTE: Including intercooler on super-
charged models.
General
Flushing the exhaust system and in-
tercooler (supercharged models) with
fresh water is essential to neutralize
corroding effects of salt or other chem-
ical products present in water. It will
help to remove sand, salt, shells or
other particles in water jackets and/or
hoses.
Flushing should be performed when
the watercraft is not expected to be
used further the same day or when the
watercraft is stored for any extended
time.
WARNING
Perform this operation in a well
ventilated area.
Proceed as follows:
Clean jet pump by spraying water in its
inlet and outlet and then apply a coating
of XP-S Lube or equivalent.
WARNING
When operating the engine while
the watercraft is out of the water,
the heat exchanger in the ride plate
may become very hot. Avoid any
contact with ride plate as burns
may occur.
Connect a garden hose to connector
located at the rear of watercraft on jet
pump support. Do not open water tap
yet.
NOTE: An optional quick connect
adapter can be used (P/N 295 500 473).
No hose pincher is required to flush en-
gine.

WARNING
Certain components in the engine
compartment may be very hot.

gine is running.
NOTICE Never flush a hot en-
gine. Always start the engine before
opening the water tap. Open wa-
ter tap immediately after engine is
started to prevent overheating.
Run the engine about 20 seconds at a
fast idle between 4000 - 5000 RPM.

supplying water to the exhaust sys-
tem when watercraft is out of water.
