               WARNING
           Before attempting to remove weeds or de-
           bris  from the jet intake or  impeller area,
           shut the engine off and  remove  the  clip             STOP
           from the engine shut-off switch. Severe in-
           jury or death could result from coming in
           contact with the rotating parts of the jet
           pump.
           If weeds or debris gets caught in the jet intake
           or impeller, cavitation can occur, causing jet
           thrust to decrease even though engine speed
           rises. If this condition is allowed to continue,
           the  engine will overheat and  may  seize.
           NOTICE: If weeds or debris gets caught in
           the jet intake, do not operate the water-
           craft above trolling speed until they have
           been removed. [ECJ00654]
           If there is any sign that the jet intake or impel-  (1) Place a suitable clean cloth or carpeting
           ler is clogged with weeds or debris, return to  underneath the watercraft  to protect  it
           shore and check the intake and impeller. Al-  from abrasions and scratches. Turn the
                                                   watercraft on its  side as shown.
                                                   NOTICE: Always  turn the watercraft
                                                   over onto its  port  (left) side. When
                                                   turning the watercraft on its side, sup-
                                                   port the bow so that the handlebars
                                                   are not bent or damaged. [ECJ00662]
