WARNING
EWJ00783
Before attempting to remove weeds or de-
bris from the jet intake or impeller area,
shut the engine off and remove the clip
from the engine shut-off switch. Severe 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 water-
craft above trolling speed until they have
been removed.
[ECJ00654]
If there is any sign that the jet intake or impel-
ler is clogged with weeds or debris, return to
shore and check the intake and impeller. Al-ways stop the engine before beaching the
watercraft.
(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: When turning the watercraft
on its side, support the bow so that
the handlebars are not bent or dam-
aged.
[ECJ02690]
(2) Remove any weeds or debris from
around the jet intake, drive shaft, impel-
