SPECIAL PROCEDURES
Jet Pump Water Intake and
Impeller Cleaning
WARNING
Keep away from intake grate while
engine is running. Items such as
long hair, loose clothing or per-
sonal flotation device straps can
become
entangled
in
moving
parts.
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:
–
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 exhaust system, a
clogged intake will cause the engine
to overheat and damage engine in-
ternal components.
A weed clogged area can be cleaned as
follows:
WARNING
If it is necessary to reach in to re-
move any foreign object caught in
the propulsion system, the tether
cord MUST BE REMOVED from the
engine cut-off switch
In-Water Cleaning

while
repeatedly
pressing
engine
START/STOP button for short periods
without starting the engine. Most of
the time, this will remove the block-
age. Start engine and make sure wa-
tercraft operates properly.
If the aforementioned method does
not work, the following can be per-
formed:
– With engine running and before ap-
plying throttle, pull the iBR lever in
to select reverse operation and vary
throttle quickly several times.
– Repeat procedure if necessary.
If system is still blocked, move the wa-
tercraft out of the water for cleaning.
