Foreword
This manual is designed primarily for use by trained
mechanics in a properly equipped shop. However, it
contains enough detail and basic information to make
it useful to the owner who desires to perform his own
basic maintenance and repair work. A basic knowledge
of mechanics, the proper use of tools, and workshop
procedures must be understood in order to carry out

1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION
Before Servicing
Before starting to service watercraft, careful reading of the applicable section is recommended to eliminate unnecessary
work. Photographs, diagrams, notes, cautions, warnings, and detailed descriptions have been included wherever
necessary. Nevertheless, even a detailed account has limitations, a certain amount of basic knowledge is also required
for successful work.
Especially note the following:
(1) Diagnostic Software “KADIAG”
The “KADIAG” is a useful tool to aid a technician in solving direct fuel injection service problems. To use this
“KADIAG” you should prepare the Communication Cable, a laptop computer, and the Software Manual.
(2) Adjustments
Adjustments shall be made in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart or whenever troubleshooting or
presence of symptoms indicate that adjustments may be required. Whenever running of the engine is required during
maintenance it is best to have the watercraft in water.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine without cooling water supply for more than 15 seconds, especially in high revolutionary
speed or severe engine and exhaust system damage will occur.
(3) Auxiliary Cooling
An auxiliary cooling supply may be used if the watercraft cannot be operated in water during adjustments. If possible,
always operate the watercraft in water rather than use an auxiliary cooling supply.
•
Loosen the clamp and remove the cap [A].
•
Connect the garden hose [B] to the hose fitting (see above).
•
Attach the garden hose to a faucet. Do not turn on the water until the engine is running and turn it off immediately when
the engine stops. The engine requires 2.4 L/min (2.5 qts/min) at 1800 rpm and 7.0 L/min (7.4 qts/min) at 6000 rpm.
CAUTION
Insufficient cooling supply will cause the engine and/or exhaust system to overheat and severe damage will
occur. Excessive cooling supply may kill the engine and flood the cylinders, causing hydraulic lock. Hydraulic
lock will cause severe damage to the engine. If the engine dies while using an auxiliary cooling supply, the
water must be shut off immediately.
Always turn the boat on its left side. Rolling to the right side can cause water in the exhaust system to run
into the engine, with possible engine damage.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3
Before Servicing
(4) Dirt
Before removal and disassembly, clean the "Jet Ski" watercraft. Any sand entering the engine, injector, or other
parts will work as an abrasive and shorten the life of the watercraft. For the same reason, before installing a new
part, clean off any dust or metal filings.
(5) Battery Ground
Remove the ground (–) lead from the battery before performing any disassembly operations on the watercraft. This
prevents:
(a) the possibility of accidentally turning the engine over while partially disassembled.
(b) sparks at electrical connections which will occur when they are disconnected.
(c) damage to electrical parts.
(6) Tightening Sequence
Generally, when installing a part with several bolts, nuts, or screws, they should all be started in their holes and
tightened to snug fit. Then tighten them evenly in a cross pattern. This is to avoid distortion of the part and/or causing
gas or oil leakage. Conversely when loosening the bolts, nuts, or screws, first loosen all of them by about a quarter
of turn and then remove them.
Where there is a tightening sequence indication in this Service Manual, the bolts, nuts, or screws must be tightened
in the order and method indicated.
(7) Torque
The torque values given in this Service Manual should always be adhered to. Either too little or too much torque
may lead to serious damage. Use a good quality, reliable torque wrench.
(8) Force
Common sense should dictate how much force is necessary in assembly and disassembly. If a part seems especially
difficult to remove or install, stop and examine what may be causing the problem. Whenever tapping is necessary, tap
lightly using a wooden or plastic faced mallet. Use an impact driver for screws (particularly for the removal of screws
held by a locking agent) in order to avoid damaging the screw heads.
(9) Edges
Watch for sharp edges, especially during major engine disassembly and assembly. Protect your hands with gloves
or a piece of thick cloth when lifting the engine or turning it over.
(10) High Flash-Point Solvent
A high flash-point solvent is recommended to reduce fire danger. A commercial solvent commonly available in North
America is Standard solvent (generic name). Always follow manufacturer and container directions regarding the use
of any solvent.
(11) Gasket, O-Ring
Do not reuse a gasket or O-ring once it has been in service. The mating surfaces around the gasket should be
free of foreign matter and perfectly smooth to avoid oil or compression leaks.
(12) Liquid Gasket, Non-Permanent Locking Agent
Follow manufacturer’s directions for cleaning and preparing surfaces where these compounds will be used. Apply
sparingly. Excessive amounts may block engine cooling passages and cause serious damage. An example of a
non-permanent locking agent commonly available in North America is Loctite Lock N’ Seal (Blue).
(13) Press
A part installed using a press or driver, such as a seal, should first be coated with oil on its outer or inner
circumference so that it will go into place smoothly.
(14) Ball Bearing
When installing a ball bearing, the bearing race which is affected by friction should be pushed by a suitable driver.
This prevents severe stress on the balls and races, and prevents races and balls from being dented. Press a ball
bearing until it stops at the stop in the hole or on the shaft.
(15) Oil Seal and Grease Seal
Replace any oil or grease seals that were removed with new ones, as removal generally damages seals. When
pressing in a seal which has manufacturer’s marks, press it in with the marks facing out. Seals should be pressed
into place using a suitable driver, which contacts evenly with the side of seal, until the face of the seal is even with
the end of the hole.
(16) Seal Guide
A seal guide is required for certain oil or grease seals during installation to avoid damage to the seal lips. Before a
shaft passes through a seal, apply a little lubricant, preferably high temperature grease on the lips to reduce rubber
to metal friction.
(17) Circlip, Retaining Ring
Replace any circlips and retaining rings that were removed with new ones, as removal weakens and deforms them.
When installing circlips and retaining rings, take care to compress or expand them only enough to install them and
no more.
(18) Cotter Pin
Replace any cotter pins that were removed with new ones, as removal deforms and breaks them.
