SPECIAL PROCEDURE
Engine Overheating
CAUTION: If the monitoring beeper
continuously sounds, stop engine
immediately.
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 boat 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 operation in weed-
ed areas. If unavoidable, vary speed.
Weeds tend to entangle more at
steady and slow speeds. Inspect wa-
ter intake grate for damage. Refer to
an authorized SEA-DOO sport boat
dealer for repair as necessary.
Capsized Boat
This boat is designed so that it should
not turn over easily due to its length
and width. If the boat ever capsizes,
remember that it will continue to float,
and it is usually best to remain with it,
so 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.
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.
