OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
j
•
Wait until it’s your turn then back the trailer to the
water. Unlock the winch and push the craft slowly
off the trailer into the water.
•
Move your watercraft to a docking or loading area
and park your tow vehicle. Do not block the ramp.
Deep Water Start:
Solo Operation
•
Move to the rear of the watercraft.
•
Make sure the engine is stopped.
•
Grasp either the handrail behind the seat or the
towing hook under the handrail, pull the reboard-
ing step down, and while placing one knee and
then one foot or both feet on the step, pull your-
self up onto the deck. Place one knee on the deck
rear end, then the other. Be careful not to slip on
the step or boat as you reboard.
•
Grasp the hand strap and while balancing the craft
place your feet on the deck.
•
Sit astride the seat.
Operator and Passengers
•
While the operator is balancing the craft, the pas-
sengers climb aboard from the rear of the craft in
the same way as in Solo Operation.
WARNING
The operator should always stop the engine
and pull the engine shut-off lanyard key be-
fore a passenger uses the reboarding step.
A passenger could be injured if their leg
slips through the reboarding step and they
are dragged through the water.
The passenger should not use the reboard-
ing step while the engine is running.
Shallow Water Start:
Whenever possible, anchor the watercraft in shal-
low water instead of dragging it onto shore. This will
reduce scratches to the hull and prevent sand and
rocks from entering into the jet pump causing dam-
age to the pump when restarting the engine.
If the watercraft is beached, sand and rocks which
are pushed into the jet pump by natural wave action
can be flushed out by pushing down on the stern
vigorously many times.
CAUTION
The watercraft must be in water at least 0.8
m (2.5 ft) deep when starting to prevent jet
pump damage by objects sucked up from the
bottom.
•
You can board either from the side of the craft
or from the rear. In either case balance the craft
when going aboard for more stability.
