Impeller Clearance Adjustment
The impeller should be adjusted so there is approximately
0.8 mm (0.03 in.) clearance between the impeller edge and liner.
Operating the jet drive in waters that contain sand and gravel can
cause wear to the impeller blades, and the clearance will start to
exceed 0.8 mm (0.03 in.).
