ANTIFREEZING PROTECTION
In cool regions (where freezing point may be en-
countered), cooling system should be filled with
pure antifreeze.
CAUTION: Antifreeze must be fed in cool-
ing system. Otherwise remaining water will
freeze. If antifreezing is not performed ad-
equately engine/exhaust system may freeze
and cause severe damage. Always use ethy-
lene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion
inhibitors specifically recommended for alu-
minum engines.
CAUTION: Use only undiluted antifreeze (100%
concentration). The pre-mixed antifreeze
available from Bombardier Recreational Prod-
ucts Inc. is not suitable for this particular appli-
cation. Its concentration will be reduced when
mixed with remaining water trapped in water
jackets. Always use ethylene glycol antifreeze
containing corrosion inhibitors specifically
recommended for aluminum engines. Never
use antifreeze for RV (recreational vehicles).
NOTE: When available, it is recommended to
use biodegradable antifreeze compatible with
internal combustion aluminum engines. This will
contribute to protect the environment.

operation but should have been ran before, to ex-
haust as much water as possible, from cooling
system components.
NOTE: This procedure requires approximately
2.5 L (2.6 U.S. qt) of antifreeze.
