Hamilton Waterjet HT1000

Inspect hoses for the following issues

Is reconditioning or repair necessary?

Describe the reconditioning or repair actions taken

To adjust the range of movement (span) of the indicator Gauge Needle:

Increasing the sender arm length [Y] decreases the span of the gauge.

Move the Steering Nozzle through its full travel from port to starboard and note the position of the needle.

The needle must have maximum movement while keeping at least a 1mm gap from its mechanical limits.

When the sender is correctly positioned, it is likely to be closer to its anticlockwise (starboard) mechanical limit.;

Check the belts for cracks, frayed areas, cuts or unusual wear patterns.

Replace Belts if any sign of deterioration is found.

Check to see if the belts become excessively hot. V-Belts generate heat during operation but they should not be too hot to touch.

If excessively hot, the V-Belt tension could be incorrect or they may require replacement.;

Visually inspect the Jogstick rubber boot every month.

Replaced if there are any signs of damage.

This module relies on the rubber boot to keep the Control Panel waterproof.

This is very importance for Deck Mounted Equipment.;

Centre the Steering so that the Jet Nozzle is in the Dead Ahead position.

A multimeter may be used to check the dead ahead position if the indicator is not yet fitted.

Disconnect one of the wires from the sender terminal.

Measure the resistance across the Terminals.

The resistance at the dead ahead position should be 88±2Ω

If fitted, check to see if the indicator is showing dead ahead.

To adjust, loosen the screws holding the sender to its bracket.

Rotate the sender as necessary until the resistance is in the range specified or the indicator is pointing dead ahead.

Re-tighten the Sender mounting screws;
