MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Salt Water and Unclean Water Care
When the watercraft is operated in salt water or water
with impurities like silt, sand and other particulates,
additional cleaning and maintenance is mandatory after
each use. Clean the jet pump water inlet screen and all
other affected areas of the watercraft. Flush the cooling
system.
Jet Pump Water Inlet Screen
The water inlet screen (1) is located inside the
stationary nozzle of the jet pump. Its purpose is to
screen out grass and debris that could enter the coolant
system.
After using the watercraft, visually inspect the screen
for buildup of contaminants. Clean as required by
flushing engine and/or screen with fresh water. See
flushing procedure on page 91.
If the screen cannot be cleaned by flushing, see your
Polaris dealer for additional cleaning.
CAUTION
Failure to perform additional cleaning and
maintenance when the watercraft is operated in
unclean or salt water will result in damage and
corrosion to the watercraft. Clean all affected areas
of the watercraft after every use in salt water or
unclean water.
