MAKO SLINGSHOT OPERATORS GUIDE
MAKO OPERATOR’S GUIDE - JETBOARD MAINTENANCE
REMOVING THE ENGINE
During the ownership of your jetboard
there will inevitably be times when you
will want to disconnect and remove the
XT100 engine from the hull.
The engine removal process should only take you
between 5 and 10 minutes depending on experience,
and will aid you in either routine maintenance,
carrying out your own repairs or in sending the engine
to a Mako representative for service or repair.
Failure to properly maintain and service your
XT100 engine in accordance to the recommended
maintenance schedule and procedures may result in
premature damage to your engine, making it unsafe
to operate and a warranty claim being denied.
BEFORE UNDERTAKING THE REMOVAL
PROCEDURE CHECK THE ENGINE HAS BEEN
ALLOWED TO COOL AND IS NOT HOT TO THE
TOUCH. DISREGARDING THIS PRECAUTION COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
XT100 ENGINE REMOVAL
TOOLS REQUIRED : 3mm Allen Key, Wire Cutters,
Ratcheting Socket Wrench,
Extension Bar, 5mm Allen Key Bit
and Needle-Nose Pliers
1. Remove engine shut-off pin from the hand
control unit and unplug the battery pack from
its housing.
2. Remove the engine compartment lid by
pressing the three pop-latch buttons to provide
direct access to the engine bay.
3. With adequate force, remove the spark plug cap
to expose the insulator and terminal nut of the
spark plug.
4. Using the 3mm Allen key, remove the screw
securing the earth/ground wire to the starter
motor bracket, located above the gear cover.
5.
Disconnect the ignition pickup and start motor
connectors. Hold the female connector in one
hand and pull back on the locking tab to release
it, while pulling the male connector from the
female receiver. Make sure you are holding both
plastic connectors and not the wires so as to
avoid damage.
6. Locate the white coloured engine cooling inlets
either side of the engine cylinder. Remove
the silicone cooling pipe by pushing it inward
towards the inlet. Depress the orange release
collar and gently pull out the pipe.
7. Remove the silicone pipe from the exhaust
cooling nozzle by gently cutting the cable ties
with the wire cutters.
8.
Using the 5mm Allen key, loosen off the
retaining screw on the jetdrive coupling just
enough to allow you to slide the driveshaft
coupling away from the crankshaft coupling.
Store the three rubber cushions in a safe place.
9. Using the ratcheting socket wrench, extension
bar and 5mm Allen key bit, remove the 4
mounting screws that secure the blue anodised
engine mounts to the floor of the hull.
10. With the engine now released from the hull,
firmly grip the exhaust and with adequate force
slide the engine horizontally towards the nose
of the board to seperate the exhaust outlet.
11. Carefully rotate the engine upwards and
towards the rear of the board, to expose the
blue anodised oil reservoir. Be carefully not to
put excessive strain on the throttle cable that is
still attached to the engine.
12.
Using the 5mm Allen key, remove the throttle
cable from the clamp located on the engine
spar below the gear cover. Next, remove the
throttle socket from the throttle arm using
the needle-nose pliers. Finally, carefully lift the
engine out of the engine compartment. Store all
the removed screws for later use
