Regular maintenance includes checking and replacing spark plugs, inspecting the fuel system, changing the oil, and flushing the engine with fresh water after use. Refer to the owner’s manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.
Check the battery for charge and connections, examine the fuel system for clogs or leaks, and inspect the spark plugs for wear or damage. Ensure that the kill switch is properly connected.
Inspect the air filter for dirt, check the fuel quality and lines for blockages, and ensure the spark plugs are clean and properly gapped. Consider performing a compression test to assess engine health.
The recommended fuel type is regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using gasoline with ethanol content greater than 10%.
To winterize, thoroughly clean and dry the Waverunner, add fuel stabilizer, fog the engine, lubricate moving parts, and store it in a dry, cool place. Disconnect the battery and keep it charged.
Common signs include reduced acceleration and top speed, unusual vibrations, and cavitation. Inspect the impeller for damage or debris if these symptoms occur.
First, drain the fuel and relieve fuel system pressure. Replace the damaged section of the fuel line with a new one, ensuring all connections are tight and secure.
Check for blockages in the cooling system, such as debris in the intake grate or clogged cooling lines. Ensure the water pump is functioning correctly and inspect the thermostat.
Change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at least once a year, whichever comes first. Always use the recommended type and grade of oil specified in the owner’s manual.
Rinse the hull with fresh water after each use. Use a mild detergent and a soft brush or cloth to clean any stains or residue. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a chamois or microfiber towel.
