Hey guys, what attachment do I need in order to run water through the machine when it’s on?

Thanks

A garden hose.

You could also use a quick connect fitting if you have one.

Lol, that was easy. Thanks

Quick question as I’m in the middle of doing it. I think I’ve drained all the oil, but I’d like to make sure I have... Should I start the machine or do anything to make sure it’s all out?

This is a 9L extractor and it’s about 1/3 full. Should be good enough?

Capacity: 3L oil change with filter, should be good. There is 1.5 L still in the engine somewhere so it’s more or less a oil replenish rather than a oil change.

Oh, is that normal for when I’m winterizing?

You'll get 4 liters out if you do it properly, not 3.

Ok so I drained as much as I could out of the machine with the extractor. I poured 3 litres in. The oil is reading basically at the max. It’s not in the middle of the dip stick... Should I extract some?

Is the yellow line ok for oil?

Did you download a service manual for your ski yet? All these questions are answered there in detail. Oil extraction, refill oil quantities, proper types of oil, proper dipstick oil quantity, proper procedures for checking oil quantity, it’s good your paying attention to details but please download a service manual, and then if you still have questions then please ask.

Yea, I did read through it. Don’t have it handy with me right now.

Okay good news:
“Oil level verification”
1. Watercraft must be level
2. If it’s out of the water, link a garden hose and warm the engine up and then let idle for 30 second. (2 minute rule)
3.Stop engine
4. Open seat
5. Wait 30 seconds for oil to settle pull dipstick and wipe clean
6. Reinstall dipstick, push in completely
7. Remove dipstick and read oil level. It should read “between” the full and add marks.

Did you follow the procedure in the book? Did you crank the engine over while in drown mode?
