The fuel, ignition and exhaust systems of this engine have been carefully designed and constructed to ensure an efficient engine with low exhaust pollutant levels. Maintenance Proper maintenance and repair are necessary to ensure that watercraft will continue to have low emission levels. This Service Manual contains those maintenance and repair recommenda- tions for this engine. Those items identified by the Periodic Maintenance Chart are necessary to ensure compliance with the applicable standards. Tampering with Emission Control System Prohibited Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof: (1) the removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new engine for the purposes of emission control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or (2) the use of the engine after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person. Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below: Do not tamper with the original emission related parts. * Digital Transistor Ignition System * Fuel Pump * Spark Plugs * Throttle Body and Internal Parts * Fuel Injectors * ECU

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 de- sires 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 maintenance and repair satisfactorily. When- ever the owner has insufficient experience or doubts his ability to do the work, all adjustments, maintenance, and repair should be car- ried out only by qualified mechanics. In order to perform the work efficiently and to avoid costly mistakes, read the text, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the procedures before starting work, and then do the work carefully in a clean area. Whenever special tools or equipment are specified, do not use makeshift tools or equipment. Precision measurements can only be made if the proper instruments are used, and the use of substitute tools may ad- versely affect safe operation. For the duration of the warranty period, we recommend that all repairs and scheduled maintenance be performed in accordance with this service manual. Any owner maintenance or repair procedure not performed in accordance with this manual may void the warranty. To get the longest life out of your JET SKI ® watercraft: • Follow the Periodic Maintenance Chart in the Service Manual. • Be alert for problems and non-scheduled maintenance. • Use proper tools and genuine Kawasaki JET SKI ® watercraft parts. Special tools, gauges, and testers that are necessary when servic- ing Kawasaki JET SKI ® watercraft are intro- duced by the Service Manual. Genuine parts provided as spare parts are listed in the Parts Catalog. • Follow the procedures in this manual carefully. Don’t take shortcuts. • Remember to keep complete records of maintenance and repair with dates and any new parts installed. How to Use This Manual In this manual, the product is divided into its major systems and these systems make up the manual’s chapters. The Quick Reference Guide shows you all of the product’s system and assists in locating their chapters. Each chapter in turn has its own comprehensive Ta- ble of Contents. For example, if you want ignition coil information, use the Quick Reference Guide to locate the Electrical System chapter. Then, use the Table of Contents on the first page of the chapter to find the Ignition Coil section. Whenever you see symbols, heed their instructions! Always follow safe operating and maintenance practices. DANGER DANGER indicates a hazardous situa- tion which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING WARNING indicates a hazardous situa- tion which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. NOTICE NOTICE is used to address practices not related to personal injury. This manual contains four more symbols which will help you distinguish different types of information.

NOTE ○ This note symbol indicates points of par- ticular interest for more efficient and con- venient operation. • Indicates a procedural step or work to be done. ○ Indicates a procedural sub-step or how to do the work of the procedural step it follows. It also precedes the text of a NOTE. Indicates a conditional step or what action to take based on the results of the test or inspec- tion in the procedural step or sub-step it follows. In most chapters an exploded view illustration of the system components follows the Table of Contents. In these illustrations you will find the instructions indicating which parts require specified tightening torque, oil, grease or a locking agent during assembly. This model, JT1500A, is mounted with a four -stroke engine. When the JET SKI ® watercraft is submerged and swamped, the four-stroke engine needs special care and systematic procedure for re- covery compared with the two-stroke engine. Therefore in this manual, such procedures, which are not shown in SMs for two-stroke engines, are explained thoroughly to cope with the cases. Refer to the section, After submerging in Chapter 9, Cooling and Bilge Systems for the summary and detailed procedures.
