Riding the JET SKI Watercraft
On your first ride, straddle the craft and sit down
on the seat. Familiarize yourself with the handling
of the boat. Vary the engine speed with the throttle
lever to get the feel of throttle influence on steering.
If porpoising occurs, that is, the front of the craft
rises and falls rapidly, move your body weight further
forward.
WARNING
Never ride with your chin immediately above
the handlebar. If you should hit a wave, you
might injure yourself.
The engine revolution of the watercraft will be au-
tomatically controlled to 3 000 rpm if some engine
-related parts fail to function properly.
If the warning light, Fl indicator and “Fl” charac-
ter start flashing with buzzer sound or the warning
light, engine oil pressure indicator and “OILt” charac-
ter start flashing with buzzer sound, return to shore
immediately and have the engine checked by your
authorized Kawasaki JET SKI dealer.
The engine revolution will also be controlled to
3 000 rpm automatically when the water or engine
oil temperatures or engine oil pressure warning start
flashing. Return to shore immediately and check the
cooling system or engine oil level and add the rec-
ommended oil if necessary.
If other causes are suspected, see your authorized
Kawasaki JET SKI dealer.
When the “LED" warning light goes on and “FUEL"
character and the last segment begin flashing, 32
liters (8.5 U.S. gal) of fuel remain. Reduce speed to
less than half-throttle and fill the fuel tank as soon as
possible because there is no reserve tank in this wa-
tercraft. (See the Multifunction Meter section in the
GENERAL INFORMATION chapter for more detail.)
Stay alert at all times, and keep away from other
boats, swimmers, and obstructions.
Fall Recovery:
If the operator falls off the craft, the lanyard key is
pulled off of the engine stop button and the engine
is stopped immediately.
WARNING
When you fall, do not hang onto the handle-

the lanyard key under the stop button, and push
the start button to start the engine.
