Polaris Genesis, Virage, Freedom Owner's Manual v2

Start by checking the engine oil levels, inspecting the fuel lines for leaks, and examining the spark plugs for wear. Ensure the battery is fully charged and the terminals are clean. Finally, inspect the hull for any damage or cracks.
Check the battery connections and ensure the battery is charged. Inspect the spark plugs for fouling and replace if necessary. Make sure the fuel tank has fresh fuel and the fuel lines are not clogged.
Ensure the cooling water intake is not blocked. Check the impeller for damage, and make sure the water pump is functioning correctly. Inspect the coolant hoses for leaks or blockages.
Use a high-quality marine grade two-stroke oil that meets the manufacturer’s specifications. Always refer to the owner’s manual for the recommended oil type.
Begin by cleaning the exterior and flushing the engine with fresh water. Drain the fuel system or add a fuel stabilizer. Remove the battery and store it in a warm place. Apply fogging oil to the engine and cover the watercraft securely.
The recommended spark plug gap is typically 0.028 to 0.032 inches (0.7 to 0.8 mm). Always confirm with the owner’s manual or a reliable service guide.
Ensure regular maintenance including clean air filters, properly gapped spark plugs, and fresh fuel. Avoid overloading the watercraft and maintain a steady speed while riding.
Check for debris in the impeller and inspect the drive shaft for alignment issues. Ensure the engine mounts are secure and not worn out.
It is recommended to change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at the start of each season, whichever comes first.
Common issues include corroded battery terminals and blown fuses. Clean the terminals and replace any damaged fuses. Check for loose or damaged wiring throughout the electrical system.
