SPECIAL PROCEDURES Engine Overheating CAUTION: If the monitoring beeper continuously sounds, stop engine immediately.

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 entangled in moving parts resulting 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 craft moves slowly due to reduced jet thrust, jet pump components 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 components. A weed clogged area can be cleaned as follows:
Capsized Craft If the craft turns over, it will remain capsized. To return the craft upright, grab the inlet grate, step on rub rail and use your weight to rotate it counterclockwise (seen from rear).
WARNING When boat is capsized, do not attempt to restart the engine. Operator and passengers should always wear approved personal flotation devices. CAUTION: Always refer to decal located on stern of craft.

Submerged Craft
WARNING Always remove safety lanyard cap from switch to prevent accidental engine starting before cleaning the jet pump area. 44
Press the start/stop button for short period without starting engine. Most of the time, this will remove the blockage. If system is still blocked move the craft out of the water and remove blockage manually. CAUTION: Inspect water intake grate for damage. Refer to an authorized Sea-Doo dealer for repair as necessary.
If the craft is submerged and engine is water-flooded, it is strongly recommended that the craft be serviced by an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
