WARNING
Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result in an explosion and cause serious injury or death. When disconnecting cables, always disconnect the negative (black) cable first. When reconnecting, always connect the negative (black) cable last.
OPERATION
1.Remove the lanyard lock plate from the stop switch and disconnect the battery cables before inspecting the jet pump intake. Disconnect the negative (black) cable first.
2.Carefully check the jet pump intake and remove any weeds, shells or other debris that may restrict the intake of water.
3.After launching, walk the watercraft into water at least two feet (60 cm) deep and bounce the back of the craft up and down several times to flush out any sand and debris that may be in the pump.
CAUTION
A clogged intake or the ingestion of sand into the cooling system will cause engine overheating and result in jet pump or engine damage. If any obstruction cannot be removed, have an authorized Polaris dealer service it immediately. Clear the pump of sand after operating in shallow water or after beaching the watercraft.
