SPECIAL PROCEDURES

Jet Pump Water Intake and Impeller Cleaning

WARNING

Keep away from intake grate while engine is on. Items such as long hair, loose clothing or personal flotation device straps can become entangled in moving parts result- ing in severe injury or drowning.

Weeds, shells or debris can get caught on the intake grate, drive shaft and/or impeller. A clogged water intake may cause troubles such as:

Cavitation: Engine speed is high but watercraft moves slowly due to reduced jet thrust, jet pump compo- nents may be damaged.

Overheating: Since the jet pump operation controls the flow of wa- ter to cool the exhaust system, a clogged intake will cause the engine to overheat and damage engine in- ternal components.

A weed clogged area can be cleaned as follows:

In-Water Cleaning

Rock the watercraft several times while repeatedly pressing engine start/stop button for short period with- out starting engine. Most of the time, this will remove the blockage. Start engine and make sure watercraft oper- ates properly.

If system is still blocked, move the wa- tercraft out of the water and remove blockage manually.

If the aforementioned method does not work, the following can be per- formed:

With engine running and before applying throttle, put shift lever in reverse position and vary throttle quickly several times.

Repeat procedure if necessary.

On-Beach Water Cleaning

WARNING

Always remove the DESS key from its post to prevent accidental en- gine starting before cleaning the jet pump area.

Place a cardboard or a carpet beside the watercraft to prevent scratching when turning the watercraft for clean- ing.

Rotate the watercraft to any side for cleaning.
