130 MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS NOTE j żSince the trim and list of the watercraft will significantly affect the oil level, be sure that the operator and/or cargo are not aboard the watercraft when measuring the oil level. Also fill up the fuel tank if it is not full. żThis measuring procedure with the watercraft afloat should be followed when the oil level is found low and to be added. See OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS chapter. Valve Clearance Valve and valve seats wear decreasing valve clearances, and upsetting valve timing. CAUTION If valve clearance is left unadjusted, wear will eventually cause the valves to remain partially open, which lowers performance, burns the valves and valve seats, and may cause serious engine damage. Valve clearance for each valve should be checked and adjusted in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Inspection and adjustment should be done by an authorized Kawasaki dealer. INTAKE 0.15 ∼ 0.24 mm (0.0059 ∼ 0.0094 in.) EXHAUST 0.32 ∼ 0.41 mm (0.0126 ∼ 0.0161 in.)

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
j
NOTE
°
Since the trim and list of the watercraft will signifi-
cantly affect the oil level, be sure that the operator
and/or cargo are not aboard the watercraft when
measuring the oil level. Also fill up the fuel tank if
it is not full.
°
This measuring procedure with the watercraft
afloat should be followed when the oil level is
found low and to be added.
See OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS chapter.
Valve Clearance
Valve and valve seats wear decreasing valve
clearances, and upsetting valve timing.
CAUTION
If valve clearance is left unadjusted, wear will
eventually cause the valves to remain par-
tially open, which lowers performance, burns
the valves and valve seats, and may cause
serious engine damage.
Valve clearance for each valve should be checked
and adjusted in accordance with the Periodic Main-
tenance Chart.
Inspection and adjustment should be done by an
authorized Kawasaki dealer.
