                                 WARNING
                            Before attempting to remove weeds or de-
                            bris  from the jet intake or  impeller area,
                            shut the engine off and  remove  the  clip
                            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]
