The starter switch will still be
operational and will turn the
engine and impeller over even
with the lockplate removed.
The lanyard lock plate must be
removed from the stop switch
prior to continuing this inspec-
tion.
Carefully check the jet pump in-
take for debris such as weeds,
shells or anything which may re-
strict the intake of water. Dam-
age could occur if the intake is
clogged, causing engine over-
heating and jet pump damage. If any obstruction cannot be removed have an au-
thorized Polaris dealer service it immediately.

After launching, walk the watercraft into water at least
2
feet (60 cm) deep and
bounce the back of the watercraft up and down several times to flush out any sand
and debris that may be in the pump.
CAUTION: Ingestion of sand into the cooling system will cause the engine to over-
heat, resulting in possible severe engine damage.
