Post-Operation Care
When vehicle is used in salt-water
environment (beach area, launching/
loading boats etc.), rinsing the vehi-
cle with fresh water is necessary to
preserve vehicle and its components.
Metallic parts lubrication is highly rec-
ommended. Use XP-S Lube (P/N 293
600 016) or an equivalent. This must
be performed at the end of each oper-
ating day.
When vehicle is operated in muddy
conditions, rinsing the vehicle is rec-
ommended to preserve vehicle and its
components and to keep lights clean.
NOTE: Never use a high pressure
washer to clean the vehicle. USE
LOW PRESSURE ONLY (like a gar-
den hose). High pressure can cause
electrical or mechanical damages.
What to Do if Vehicle is
Turned Over
When vehicle is turned over or stays
tilted on the side, put the vehicle back
on its wheels, then wait 3 to 5 minutes
before starting the engine. Refer to
MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
and
inspect the following.
– Inspect air filter housing for oil accu-
mulation, if any oil is found, clean air
filter and air filter housing.
– Check engine oil level and refill if
necessary.
– Check engine coolant level and refill
if necessary.
– Start engine. If the oil pressure light
stays on, stop engine immediately.
See an authorized Can-Am dealer.
What to Do if Vehicle is
Immersed in Water
Should the vehicle become immersed,
it will be necessary to take it to an au-
thorized Can-Am dealer as soon as pos-
sible. NEVER START THE ENGINE!
NOTICE
Immersion of the vehi-
cle can cause serious damage if the
correct restart procedure is not fol-
lowed.
