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.
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.
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 95.
If the screen cannot be cleaned by
flushing, see your Polaris dealer
for additional cleaning.
