SPECIAL PROCEDURE
Engine Overheating
CAUTION: If the monitoring beeper
continuously sounds, stop engine im-
mediately.
Refer to M
2
Jet Drive Operator‘s Guide.
If engine still overheats, refer to an au-
thorized SEA-DOO Sport Boat dealer
for servicing.
Jet Pump Water Intake and
Impeller Cleaning
Weeds, shells or debris can get caught
on the intake grate, drive shaft and/or
impeller. A clogged water intake may
cause troubles such as:
1. Cavitation: Engine speed is high
but craft moves slowly due to re-
duced jet thrust; jet pump compo-
nents may be damaged.
2. Overheating: Since the jet pump
operation controls the flow of water
to cool the engine, a clogged intake
will cause the engine to overheat
and damage engine internal compo-
nents.
The clogged area can be cleaned as
described in M
2
Jet Drive Operator‘s
Guide.
CAUTION: Avoid craft operation in
weeded areas. If unavoidable, vary
craft speed. Weeds tend to entangle
more at steady and slow speeds. In-
spect water intake grate for damage.
Refer to an authorized SEA-DOO
Sport Boat dealer for repair as neces-
sary.
Capsized Boat
The boat is designed so that it should
not turn over easily due to its long and
wide dimensions. If the boat ever cap-
sizes, remember that it will continue to
float, and it is usually best to remain
with it, you will be more easily located
by others.
Submerged Boat
Water Flooded Engine
In the event the engine cannot be ser-
viced within a few hours, remove
spark plug cables and connect them
on the grounding device.
Remove spark plugs and dry them
with a clean and dry cloth.
Cover spark plug holes with a rag.
Ensure choke lever is completely pushed
in.
WARNING
Always remove safety lanyard cap
from switch to prevent accidental
engine starting before cleaning
the jet pump area.
WARNING
When boat is capsized, do not at-
tempt to restart the engine. Opera-
tor and passengers should always
wear approved personal flotation
devices.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to restart engine.
See an authorized SEA-DOO Sport
Boat dealer as soon as possible to
service the engine.
WARNING
Never crank engine with spark plugs
removed unless spark plug cables
are connected to the grounding de-
vice.
