SPECIAL PROCEDURES
Monitoring System
To assist you when using the water-
craft, a system monitors some compo-
nent of the watercraft and sends audi-
ble signals through a beeper to inform
you of a particular condition. Refer to
the TROUBLESHOOTING section for
the coded signals chart.
Engine Overheating
CAUTION:
If the monitoring beep-
er continuously sounds, stop en-
gine immediately.
Perform JET PUMP WATER INTAKE
AND IMPELLER CLEANING proce-
dure described in this section.
When back to 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 can become
entangledinmovingpartsresult-
ing in severe injury or drowning.
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 watercraft moves slowly due
to reduced jet thrust, jet pump
components may be damaged.
2.
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 damage engine internal
components.
A weed clogged 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 watercraft
operates properly.
If system is still blocked, move the wa-
tercraft out of the water and remove
blockage manually.
If the aforementioned method does
not work, the following can be per-
formed:
– With engine running and before
applying throttle, put shift lever in
reverse position and vary throttle
quickly several times.
– Repeat procedure if necessary.
On-Beach Water Cleaning
WARNING
Always remove safety lanyard cap
from its post to prevent accidental
engine starting before cleaning the
jet pump area.
Place a cardboard or a carpet beside
the watercraft to prevent scratching
when turning the watercraft for clean-
ing.
Rotating watercraft in the proper direc-
tion eliminates the possibility of resid-
ual water in the tuned pipe entering
the engine and causing engine dam-
age.
