WARNING
Avoid injury resulting from contacting the rotating impeller or
having hair, clothing, or loose objects drawn into the water intake
and wrapping around the impeller shaft. Stay away from the
water intake and never insert an object into the water intake or
water outlet nozzle when the engine is running.
If weeds or debris clog the water intake, turn the engine off and
completely clean out the blockage to return the unit to proper
running order.
1. Turn off the engine and remove the key from the ignition
switch. The pump impeller still spins and pumps water when
the engine is running, even when in neutral.
2. Clean debris from the entire jet drive unit (water intake,
impeller, and nozzle). If the jet drive cannot be easily cleaned,
return the boat to the trailer or to a boat lift before performing
any further work.
3. It may be necessary to remove the water intake grate from the
bottom of the jet drive to clean debris from the water intake.
Remove the water intake grate by removing the four screws.
Reinstall the water intake grate with the same four screws.
Apply Loctite 242 to the threads of the screws. Tighten the
screws to the specified torque.
