OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Jump Starting:
If your watercraft’s battery is run down, it should
be removed and charged. If this is not practical, a
booster battery and jumper cables may be used to
start the engine. The booster battery must be of the
same voltage as the watercraft battery (12 V).
WARNING
Battery acid generates hydrogen gas which
is flammable and explosive under certain
conditions. It is present within a battery at
all times, even in a discharged condition.
Keep all flames and sparks (cigarettes) away
from the battery. Wear eye protection when
working with a battery. In the event of bat-
tery acid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing,
wash the affected areas immediately with
water for at least five minutes. Seek medical
attention.
•
Turn the ignition switch off.
•
Remove the seat and take off the rear storage
case.
•
Lay a cloth over the open vents of the booster
battery.
•
Connect a jumper cable between the positive (+)
terminals of the two batteries.
•
Connect one end of the remaining jumper cable to
the negative (–) terminal of the booster battery.
CAUTION
Connecting two batteries in reverse polarity
(+ to –) can seriously damage the electrical
system.
A. Positive Cable
B. Negative Cable
•
Connect the other end of the remaining jumper
cable to the exhaust pipe bolt.
WARNING
Do not make this last connection at the throt-
tle body, injector or battery. Take care that
you do not short the cables together, and do
not lean over the battery when making this
last connection. Do not jump start a frozen
battery. It could explode.
