CLEARING HYDROJET INLET GRILLS (Contd)
1. Start engines (WP 0012 00).
2. Place engine THROTTLE/TRANSMISSION control levers (2) in neutral
position.
3. Place THROTTLE/TRANSMISSION control levers (2) in forward position at
1,000 rpm.
4. Slowly push SCOOP REVERSE DEFLECTOR control levers (3) fully forward.
5. While viewing RPM gauges (1), position THROTTLE/TRANSMISSION control
levers (2) in reverse and quickly raise RPM gauges (1) to read approximately
1,700 rpm for no longer than one or two seconds, then lower rpm to
approximately 1,000 rpm.
6. Place THROTTLE/TRANSMISSION control levers (2) in neutral position.
7. Position THROTTLE/TRANSMISSION control levers (2) in the forward position
to start the hydrojets.
8. Center steering wheel (4).
9. Increase engine rpm to 1,000 rpm by moving both
THROTTLE/TRANSMISSION control levers (2) slowly forward.
NOTE
Any mismatch in engine speed or scoop control position
will cause the boat to steer to the port or starboard
direction when steering wheel is centered.
10. Slowly push SCOOP REVERSE DEFLECTOR control levers (3) forward to full
forward position.
11. To increase forward motion, increase engine rpm speed by moving
THROTTLE/TRANSMISSION control levers (2) forward.
