OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 71 as converging waves can have considerable influence on the ride characteristics of a personal watercraft and can cause the operator and passengers to fall off. Additionally, attempting to achieve maximum speed in adverse conditions can cause abrupt movement of the boat causing possible injury to the riders. Jet Pump Safety: Although the jet pump is inherently safer than a propeller drive, certain safety precautions must always be observed. j WARNING Keep your hands, feet, and clothing away from the jet pump intake (bottom of the boat, in the middle) and never stick anything into the pump outlet (steering nozzle at the back of the boat) whenever the engine is running, or a severe injury can occur. CAUTION Jumping waves can overstress the watercraft hull causing it to crack.
