and return to its initial position without
any hesitation. Refer to an authorized

Choke Cable Inspection

out any hesitation from fully open to
fully closed. When the choke lever is
fully pulled, choke must be fully ap-
plied. Refer to an authorized dealer if

Carburetor Adjustment
Carburetor adjustment is very impor-
tant to allow good engine operation
and therefore watercraft perfor-
mance. Carburetor adjustment re-
quires technical knowledge and expe-
rience to have the correct mixture
supplied to the engine. This critical ad-
justment must be performed by an au-
thorized dealer once a year or more of-
ten if necessary.
Fuel and Oil Filters
These filters should be replaced by an
authorized dealer annually. Fuel sys-
tem pressurization should be conduct-
ed at the same time.
Steering Alignment
When the handlebar is aimed in
straight ahead position, the jet pump
nozzle should be in the same direction
allowing the watercraft to run in a
straight line.
Refer to an authorized dealer if an ad-
justment is necessary.
Steering system should be inspected
every 50 hours by an authorized deal-
er.
VTS Adjustment
(SPX/GSI/GSX/XP Models)
Push on arrow pointing upward on
VTS button until the VTS stops. The
nozzle should be up (8°) without inter-
fering with venturi housing.
