removed, refer to an authorized SEA-
DOO Sport Boat dealer for servicing.
Inspect leading edges of the impellers,
if they have nicks or bends, perfor-
mance will be greatly reduced.

use bilge pump or tilt the craft to the
rear and unscrew drain plugs if craft is
out of the water, as the case may be,
to completely empty the bilge.
