Checking the Battery
Whether or not you removed the battery from your PWC during the winter months, you should check its charge level, and recharge the battery as needed. If your PWC battery is not holding a charge, it might be time for a replacement!
Checking the Fuel System
If you didn’t already drain the fuel system before storing your PWC for the winter, we recommend doing so now. When adding new fuel, make sure to use a product recommended by the manufacturer. You should also inspect the fuel lines and the cooling lines for any signs of wear and tear, and replace them as needed.
Replacing the Spark Plugs
As a general rule, PWC spark plugs should be replaced at least once per season. Depending on your riding habits, you may need to replace the spark plugs more often. Always make sure to choose the right replacement spark plugs for your PWC model, and install them according to manufacturer directions.
Greasing the Bearings
Last but not least, make sure all the moving parts of your PWC are fully lubricated, so that everything runs smoothly!
