Post Operation Maintenance
Temporary Storage
If the watercraft will be stored temporarily (less than
30 days), perform the daily maintenance procedures
beginning on page 68 and also perform the following
temporary storage procedures.
1. Block the seat (engine compartment) open about
1/2
″ (1.3 cm) to provide air circulation and to
prevent condensation from forming.
2. If the seat is saturated with water, stand it on end
and allow it to dry out. When dry, store the seat on
the craft as outlined in step 1.
3. When storing the watercraft, make sure the nose is
positioned upward at a 20
_ angle for drainage.
4. Check the screen in the pump stationary nozzle for
plugging. See instructions on page 90.
WARNING
Serious injury and damage to the watercraft will
result if the jet pump and impeller are cleaned while
the engine is running. Always stop the engine,
remove the lanyard lock plate and disconnect the
battery before servicing the jet pump and impeller.
CAUTION
Operation of the engine with the intake system
removed could result in serious engine damage.
Never operate the engine with the intake system
removed.
