1 - 2 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

Before starting to service a 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)

Adjustments

 

 

 

Adjustments shall be made in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart or whenever trouble-

 

 

shooting 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.

 

1

Do not run the engine without cooling water supply for more than 15 seconds or severe engine and exhaust system 1

1

damage will occur.

I

(2)

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.

 

Â¥Loose the clamp and remove the cap [A].

Â¥Connec the garden hose [B] to the hose fitting (see above).

Â¥Attac 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/mh (2.5 qts/rnin) at 1800 rpm and 7.0 L/min (7.4 qts/rnin) at 6000 rpm.

CAUTION

-

Insufficient cooling supply will cause the engine and/or exhaust system to overheat and severe damage will occur. Excessivecooling 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, (he 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.

http://www.ReadManuals.com

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3

Dirt

Before removal and disassembly, clean the "Jet Ski" watercraft. Any sand entering the engine, carburetor, or other pans will work as aln abrasive and shorten the life of the watercraft. For the same reason, before installing a new pan, clean off any dust or metal filings.

Battery Ground

Remove the ground (-1 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.

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.

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.

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 (particularllyfor the removal of screws held by a locking agent) in order to avoid damaging the screw heads. Edges

Watch for sharp edges, especially during major engine disassembly and assembly. Protect youlr hands with gloves or a piece of thick cloth when lifting the engine or turning it over.

High Flash-point Solvent

A high flash-point solvent is recommended to reduce fire danger. A commercial solvent commonly available in North America is Stoddard solvent (generic name). Always follow manufacturer and container directions regarding the use of any solvent.

(10) Gasket, 0-Rang

Do not reuse a gasket or 0-rmg 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.

(11) Liquid Gasket, Non-permanent Locking Agent

Follow manufacturer's directions forcleaning and preparing slurfaces where these compounds will be used. Apply sparingly. Excessive amounts may block engine cooling passages and cause serious damage. An example of a nan-perma~nentlocking agent commonly available in North America is Loctite Lock N'Seal (Blue)

(12) 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.

(13) 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.

(14) 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'smarks, 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.

http://www.ReadManuals.com

1-4 GENERAL INFORMATION

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.

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.

Cotter Pin

Replace any cotter pins that were removed with new ones, as removal deforms and breaks them. Lubrication

Engine wear is generally at its maximum while the engine is warming up and before all the rubbing surfaces have an adequate lubncative film. During assembly, oil or grease (whichever is more suitable) should be applied to any rubbing surface which has lost its lubricative film. Old grease and dirty oil should be cleaned off. Deteriorated grease has lost its lubncative quality and may contain abrasive foreign particles.

Don'tuse lust any oil or grease. Some oils and greases in particular should be used only in certain applications and may be harmful if used in an applica~tionfor which they are not intended.

(19) Electrical Wires

All the electrical wires are either single-color or two-color and, with only a few exceptions, must be connected to wires of the same color. On any of the two-color wires there is a greater amount of one color and a lesser amount of a second color, so a two-color wire is identified by first the primav color and then the secondary color. For example, a yellow wire with thin red stripes is referred to as a "yellow/redWwire; it would be a "red/yellown wire if the colors were reversed to make red the main color.

Maintenance Free Battery

A maintenance free battery is installed in this model The maintenance free battery is a seated type, and so the electrolyte level check and t o ~ p i n q - u pcannot be performed.

(11) Main Features

1) Maintenance free.........................................

2)N o electrolyte leakage .................................

3)Instant activation system.............................

It is not necessary to check the electrolyte level and top-up the electrolyte. As the electrolyte is retained firmly in the special separators, there is n o free electrolyte in the battery.

it can be used instantly after filling only the electrolyte without initial charge.

4)One - pwh motion ele~tro~lytefillling............

5)S'afetyconstruction .....................................

6)Compact and high performance.. ........

7)Strong chargefdischarge characteristics ..

(Ill) Principle of Sealing Structure

it is possible to fill the electrolyte by easy one-push motion.

If the battery internal pressure rises abnormally high, the safety valve opens to release the gas inside the battery to restore the normal pressure and prevent the battery from rupturing. After restoring the normal pressure, the safety valve closes and the battery is sealed again. Moreover, a ceramic filter is disposed on top of the safety valve under the lid to remove risk of ignition or explosion caused by fire from outside.

No presence of free electrolyte allows the battery made lower in height, thus resulting in enhanced volume efficiency. Moreover, gas bemg absorbed inside the battery eliminates the need for a gas exhaust tube.

It can amply withstand deep charge/discharge cycles.

A lead-acid battery operates under the following chemical reaction:

Normally in an ordinary lead-acid battery when it comes to an end of a charge, where the lead sulfate being a discharge product returns to lead peroxide and spongy lead, the charge current flowing thereafter is used exclusively to decompose electrolytically water from the electrolyte, thus resulting in generation of hydrogen gas from the negative plate and oxygen gas from the positive plate. The gases so generated are released out of the battery, causing the amount of electrolyte decreased to require occasional water replenishment.

A maintenance free battery, however, is so designed that, when i t is overcharged, even i f the positive plate is fully charged, the negative plate remains not fully turned to spongy lead Therefore, even when the positive plate is overcharged generating oxygen gas, the negative plate is no fully charged, hence generating no hydrogen gas

Moreover, the oxygen gas generated from the positive plate immediately reacts with the charged active material o n the negative plate, and returns to water, with the ultimate result of no water loss.

Thus, the negative plate is made als not to get fully charged. Even if the overcharge continues, the oxygen gas generated inside the battery is absorbed by the negative plate, a process called oxygen cycle, which theoretically prevents water toss, and allows the battery to be sealed.

(IV) Filling the Battery with Electrolyte

Do not remove the aluminum seal sheet sealing the filler ports until just before use.

Be sure to use the dedicated electrolyte contallner for correct electrolyte volume.

Â¥Chec

to see that there is no peelinlg, tears or holes in the sealing sheet.

Â¥Plac

the battery on a level surface.

Â¥Remov the sealing sheet [A].

OWhen removing, check to hear an air-sucking sound "Shoosh~"from filler ports [B]

NOTE

O A battery whose sealing sheet has any peeling, tears, holes, or from which the air-sucking sound was not heard requires a refreshing charge (initial charge).

¥Tak the electrolyte container out of the vinyl bag. ¥Detac the strip of caps [A] from the conta~iner.

(V) Initial Charge

While a maintenance free battery can be used after only filling with electrolyte, a battery may not be able to sufficiently move a starter motor to start an engine in the cases shown in the table below, where an initial charge is required before use. However, if a battery shows a terminal voltage of higher than 12.5 V after 10 minutes of filling (Note I ) , no initial charge is necessary.

(VI) Precautions

1) No need of topping-up

No topping-up is necessary in this battery until it ends its life under normal use Forcibly prvinq off the sealing plug to add water is very dianqerous Never dlo that

2)Refreshing charge

If an enginc wiH not start, it indicates tlie haltcry lias been discl'inrgcd. Give refresh charge for 5 to 10 hours with charge current shown in the specification (see the Electrical System ch~apter)

When a fast charge is inevitably required, do it following precisely the maximum charge current and time conditions indicated on the battery

CAUTION

This battery is designed to sustain no unusual deterioration if refresh-charged according to the method specified above. However, the battery'sperformance may be reduced noticeably ilf charged under conditions other than given above. Never remove the sealing pluq during refresh charqe.

II by chance an excessive amount of gas is generated due to overcharging, the safety valve operates to keep the battery safe.

3)When you do not use the watercraft for months

Give a refresh charge before you store the watercraft and store it with the negative lead removed. Give a refresh charge once a month during storage

4)Battery life

If

the battery will not sta~rtthe engine even after several refresh charges, the battery has exceeded its useful life Replace

it

(Provided, however, the vehicle'sstarting system has no problem )

Keep the battery away from sparks and open flames dluring charging, since the battery gives ofl an explosive gas mixtu~reof hydrogen and oxygen. When using a battery charger, connect the battery to the charger before turning on the charger. This procedureprevents sparks at the battery terminals which could ignite any battery gases.

No lire should be drawn near the battery, or no terminals slhould have the tightenling loosened.

The electrolyte contains sulfuric acid. Be careful not to have it touch your skin or eyes. If touched, wash it off with liberal amount of water. Gel medical attention if severe.

1-14 GENERAL INFORMATIOlN

Accelerator Pump

When a throttle is opened quickly, the carburetor fuel mixture tends to momentarily become too lean This results from the fact that th~efuel is of greater weight than air, and when the throttle is opened suddenly the flow of fuel will tag behind the flow of the air, resulting in a lean mixture

To supply the additional fuel needed to overcome this condition, a small pump IS incorporated in the front carburetor

NOTE

OAfter the engme has started, do not repeatedly operate the throttle. The accelerator pump may foul the spark plugs with excess foe/

E Pump Rod

K. Throttle Shaft

F Link Cam

L. Link Shaft

When the throttle is suddenly opened, the pump rod linked to the throttle shaft pushes the pump diaphragm forcing the fuel from the pump chamber. The inlet check valve closes and the outlet check valve opens allowing fuel to spray from the discharge nozzle

As the diaphragm relaxes, the inlet valve opens letting fuel from the regulator chamber refill the pump chamber The outlet check valve closes as accelerator pump pressure faffs stopping fuel from synphoning out (he discharge nozzle.

Kawasaki Air Induction System (KAIS)

KAIS is a system to reduce the coefficient of friction or drag between the bottom surface of the hull and the water

This system features t w o small air outlets [A] at the end of each inner strake When in motion the fast flowing water will create a vacuum [ B ] and draw air out of the engine compartment [C] to form a n a~ir-bubble film between the hull and the water

Structure of air outlet

This aerating of the rear portion of the hull improves acceleration and top speed.

Kawasaki Automatic Trim System (KATS)

The Kawasaki Automatic Trim System (KATS) is designed for optimum low speed acceleration With the automatic trim switch [A] set to the "ON" position, the trim control unit senses engine rprn, then controls the trim motor

When the switch is pushed in after the ignition switch is turned on, the LED indicator light [B ] in the trim indicator comes on and the steering nozzle goes all t h e way down When the engine speed exceeds 2.000 rprn, the nozzle goes up to its level position and stays there The nozzle goes down when the engine speed is lower than 2,000 rprn

You can (urn off the system either by pushing the switch in again or by operating the trim switch The red indicator light shows that the system is functioning If the engine is not started within three minutes after the switch is pushed in, the light goes off but the system stays on
