Check the seal between the jet pump intake and the ride plate. A damaged seal will let air get into the
jet pump. The jet looses its propulsion force.
Although the jet pump is equipped with weed cutter. It is still recommended that check jet pump.
Remove weeds, shells, debris or anything else that could restrict the flow of water and damage
cooling system or propulsion unit. Clean as necessary. If any obstruction can not be removed, refer
to an authorized Aquanami dealer for servicing.
Inspect leading edges of the impeller, if they have nicks or bends performance will be greatly
reduced.
Do not inspect the water intake or intake grate without removing the lanyard from the post.
Check if any water exists. Check if any signs of water leak. Check fuel line connections for tightness.
Verify for any fuel leak/odor as well as oil and coolant leaks. Check any loosen parts.
Ensure oil level is appropriate as specified in LIQUIDS section. Check for oil leaks on engine and in
engine compartment.
Ensure coolant tank is full as specified in LIQUIDS section. Check for coolant leaks on engine, in

Water or contaminated fuel in carburetor bowl will cause engine suddenly stop when you depress
throttle lever, or you may not be able to start engine. Periodically drain water or contaminated fuel

secured.
With the watercraft horizontal, fill the fuel tank. Refer to Liquids section for checking fuel level and
fueling.
•Always close the exhaust flush cap (garden hose connector cap) after flushing the exhaust system.
•Running the engine with the cap open will damage the exhaust system.
•The battery must always be fully charged and in good condition. Loss of battery power may leave
you stranded. Never operate the watercraft if the battery does not have sufficient power or if it shows
any other signs of decreased power.
•Always remove safety lanyard from its post when engine is not running. Leave safety lanyayd on its
post will drain battery dead when engine is not running.
