At the end of your day out, hose your Kymera with clean fresh water inside and out. Avoid submerging electronics by tipping the board
nose up allowing water to drain out the rear.
At the end of your day out, clean the cooling lines with clean fresh water using a hose and the supplied cooling line adapter on LOW
pressure (see above).
With the battery unplugged and removed, ensure that the jet pump and impeller are clean and clear of obstructions. Carefully remove
foreign material, if any.
Proper lubrication is critical to performance and should be repeated when in regular use and before storage. When operating in
saltwater, weekly or more is advised to clear any trapped moisture. There are two grease fittings: (1) inside the rear hatch and (1) inside
the pump (see below)
Greasing the drive shaft
Grease the drive shaft regularly, especially when your Kymera is used in salt water. Your coupler and drive shaft (under the rear hatch) should
turn easily by hand. If there is any resistance, you have not applied sufficient grease. If it won’t move at all, see ”Troubleshooting”
p24.
If you’re going to do a thorough clean of the board, complete that before greasing the board, as cleaning pro
ducts may take grease with
it.
Tools required
To complete this work, you will need a grease gun with flexible hose, long shaft quick release coupler and marine grease. This is all provided in
the included Wavez Kymera Maintenance Kit.
Step 1: greasing the drive shaft via the rear of the pump
1.
Put the board on a table so you can easily get at the jet nozzle
2.
The first time, attach the flexible hose and long shaft quick release coupler to the grease gun, and insert the grease cartridge
3.
Remove any air from the grease barrel by gently squeezing the trigger until a small amount of grease is seen at the tip of the coupler
4.
Push the coupler in through the middle of the jet nozzle up against the grease nipple in the pump
5.
Pull the trigger on the quick release coupler so that it grabs the grease nipple
6.
Apply one squirt of grease only
7.
Pull the trigger on the quick release coupler to allow removal from the grease nipple
Do not forcefully remove the coupler, as damage may result.
Step 2: greasing the drive shaft via the rear hatch
1.
With the board still on the table, ensure you can easily reach inside the rear hatch
2.
Open the rear hatch
3.
Feed the connector through the rear hatch towards the tail of the board, above the chassis (you should see the grease nipple there)
8.
Pull the trigger on the quick release coupler so that it grabs the grease nipple
4.
Apply one squirt of grease only
9.
Pull the trigger on the quick release coupler to allow removal from the grease nipple
