EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
EJU00598a
CLEANING THE JET INTAKE AND
IMPELLER
If weeds or debris get caught in the intake or
impeller, cavitation can occur, and though
the engine speed rises, forward thrust will
decrease. If this condition is allowed to con-
tinue, the engine will overheat and may
seize. If there is any sign that the jet intake
or impeller is clogged with weeds or debris,
beach the vehicle and check the intake and
impeller. Always stop the engine before
beaching the vehicle.
EWJ00051
WARNING
Before attempting to remove weeds or
debris from the jet intake or impeller
areas, shut off the engine and remove
the lock-plate from the engine stop lan-
yard switch. Severe injury or death could
result from coming in contact with the
rotating parts of the jet pump.
1) Turn the vehicle on its side as shown.
ECJ00089
CAUTION:
Place a suitable clean cloth or carpeting
underneath the vehicle to protect it from
abrasions and scratches, and always
turn the vehicle over on its port (left)
sides.
When turning the vehicle on its side,
support the front portion so the handle-
bars cannot be bent or damaged.
