Jet Pump Water Intake and
Impeller Cleaning
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:
1.
Cavitation:
Engine speed is high
but craft moves slowly due to re-
duced jet thrust, jet pump compo-
nents may be damaged.
2.
Overheating:
Since the jet pump
operation controls the flow of water
to cool the engine, a clogged intake
will cause the engine to overheat
and damage engine internal compo-
nents.
A weed clogged area can be cleaned
as follows:
Press the start/stop button for short
period without starting engine. Most
of the time, this will remove the block-
age.
If system is still blocked move the craft
out of the water and remove blockage
manually.
CAUTION:
Inspect water intake grate
for damage. Refer to an authorized
Sea-Doo dealer for repair as neces-
sary.
Capsized Craft
If the craft turns over, it will remain cap-
sized.
To return the craft upright, grab the in-
let grate, step on rub rail and use your
weight to rotate it
counterclockwise
(seen from rear).
CAUTION:
Always refer to decal lo-
cated on stern of craft.
Submerged Craft
If the craft is submerged and engine is
water-flooded, it is strongly recom-
mended that the craft be serviced by
an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
WARNING
Keep away from intake grate while
engine is on. Items such as long
hair, loose clothing or personal flo-
tation device straps can become
entangled in moving parts result-
ing in severe injury or drowning.
WARNING
Always remove safety lanyard cap
from switch to prevent accidental
engine starting before cleaning
the jet pump area.
WARNING
When boat is capsized, do not at-
tempt to restart the engine. Oper-
ator and passengers should al-
ways wear approved personal
flotation devices.
