MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Cooling System Flushing
The watercraft uses water for propulsion and for cooling. Flushing the
cooling system with fresh water (never anti-freeze) will neutralize the
corroding effects of salt water or water with impurities like silt, sand,
alkali and other particulates. Flushing will also clean out other residue
left in the water passages of the watercraft cooling system. Flush the
water passages every day the watercraft is used, any time the craft has
been beached and before storing the craft for an extended time.
Polaris recommends the use of Flush Kit P N 2871443 (carb models) or
Flush Kit PN 2873623 (DI m odels) when flushing the cooling system.
1. Attach a garden hose to the female coupler/hose attachment.
2. Snap the m ale and female coupler together.
3. Start t he watercraft engine and immediately turn on t he water
faucet.
4. Rev the engine intermittently for one minute to completely flush
the cooling system.
5. Turn off the water faucet.
6. When all water has exited the cooling system, turn off the engine.
NOTE: This step should not take longer than 10 seconds.
7. Press the button on the female coupler/hose attachment and
separate from male coupler.
Failure to follow the recommended flushing procedure or flushing
the engine while it’s hot could result in serious engine damage.
Always follow the recommended flushing procedures. Always
allow the engine to cool sufficiently before flushing. Always flush
the cooling system any time the watercraft has been beached.
