Cleaning the jet intake and impeller

EWJ00782

WARNING

Before attempting to remove weeds or debris from the jet intake or impeller area, shut the engine off and remove the clip from the engine shut-off switch. Severe injury or death could result from coming in contact with the rotating parts of the jet pump.

If weeds or debris gets caught in the jet intake or impeller, cavitation can occur, causing jet thrust to decrease even though engine speed rises. If this condition is allowed to continue, the engine will overheat and may seize.

NOTICE: If weeds or debris gets caught in the jet intake, do not operate the watercraft above trolling speed until they have been

removed. [ECJ00653]

If there is any sign that the jet intake or impeller is clogged with weeds or debris, return to shore and check the intake and impeller. Al-

ways stop the engine before beaching the wa- tercraft.

(1)Place a suitable clean cloth or carpeting underneath the watercraft to protect it from abrasions and scratches. Turn the watercraft on its side as shown. NOTICE:

Always turn the watercraft over onto its port (left) side. When turning the watercraft on its side, support the bow so that the handlebars are not bent or

damaged. [ECJ00661]
