SPECIAL PROCEDURES
Monitoring System
To assist you when operating the
watercraft, a system monitors some
component of the watercraft and
sends audible signals from a beeper
or light up a warning light to inform
you of a particular condition. Refer to
the TROUBLESHOOTING section for
the coded signals chart.
Engine Overheating
CAUTION: If the monitoring
beeper continuously sounds, stop
engine immediately.
Perform JET PUMP WATER INTAKE
AND IMPELLER CLEANING proce-
dure described in this section.
When back on shore, flush cooling
system, refer to POST-OPERATION
CARE.
If engine still overheats, refer to an au-
thorized Sea-Doo dealer for servicing.
Jet Pump Water Intake
and Impeller Cleaning
WARNING
Keep away from intake grate while
engine is on. Items such as long
hair, loose clothing or personal
flotation device straps could po-
tentially become entangled in
moving parts resulting in severe
injury or drowning.
Weeds, shells or debris can get caught
in the intake grate, drive shaft and/or
impeller. A clogged water intake may
cause troubles such as:
– Cavitation: Engine speed is high
but watercraft moves slowly due to
reduced jet thrust, jet pump compo-
nents may be damaged.
– Overheating: Since the jet pump
operation controls the flow of wa-
ter to cool the engine, a clogged in-
take will cause the engine to over-
heat and cause damage to internal
components.
Weed clogging area can be cleaned as
follows:
In-Water Cleaning
Rock the watercraft several times
while repeatedly pressing engine
start/stop button for short period with-
out starting engine. Most of the time,
this will remove the blockage. Start
engine and make sure water flows out
from bleed outlet and that watercraft
operates properly.
If the system is still blocked, take the
watercraft out of the water and re-
move blockage manually.
On-Beach Water Cleaning
WARNING
Always remove safety lanyard cap
from its post to prevent accidental
engine start up before cleaning the
jet pump area.
Place a cardboard or a carpet beside
the watercraft to prevent scratches
when turning the watercraft for clean-
ing purposes.
Rotate the watercraft on any side for
cleaning.
