Cleaning
1. Remove the drain plug and clean the bilge and engine area with hot
water and mild detergent (such as dish soap) or with bilge cleaner.
Rinse and drain thoroughly. Wipe up remaining water with clean,
dry shop cloths. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
NOTE: Store the watercraft with the drain plug removed and the seat
propped open slightly to inhibit condensation from forming in the
engine compartment.
2. Wash the exterior of the watercraft with fresh water and a mild
detergent. Ri nse thoroughly.
3. Inspect and thoroughly clean the jet pump intake, outlet and
impeller area. If damage to these areas is visible see your Polaris
dealer for service.
4. After cleaning, protect and polish the watercraft with a regular
furniture polish or non-abrasive silicone wax. Protect the seat and
handlebar unit with a vinyl protector.
5. Spray the exterior of the engine with T9 metal protectant.
6. Cover the watercraft with an opaque tarp or Polaris watercraft
cover and store it in a clean, dry place.
NOTE: When storing the watercraft, make sure the nose is positioned
upward at a 10_ angle to allow water drainage.
Never clean the watercraft with strong detergents, abrasives,
degreasers, paint thinner, acetone, window cleaners, ammonia or
products containing alcohol. They can damage finishes, decals,
vinyl and plastics and accelerate UV breakdown, which could
cause color change and premature deterioration of parts.
