CAUTION Take proper care of your new JET SKI watercraft. Here are some of the cautions contained in this manual which must be followed for the protection of your watercraft. Be sure to read this Owner's Manual and understand it thoroughly before operating your watercraft. Always turn the boat on PORT side. Rolling to the STARBOARD side can cause water in the exhaust system to run into the engine, with possible engine damage. If the watercraft has capsized, follow the righting procedure on page 96 immediately. If water is left in the engine more than a few hours, it will destroy the crankshaft bearings and damage other internal engine parts. 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. Do not operate in shallow or debris-laden water, or the impeller may be damaged and sand may clog the water cooling hoses. Do not run the watercraft onto the shore, or severe impeller damage may occur. Since Jet Ski personal watercraft are not designed to be docked in the water for extended periods, prolonged immersion in water will cause the hull paint to bubble and peel, as well as electrolytic erosion of some metal parts in the jet pump. To prevent paint damage and electrolytic erosion, remove your Jet Ski watercraft

CAUTION
Take proper care of your new JET SKI watercraft. Here are some of the cautions contained in this manual
which must be followed for the protection of your watercraft. Be sure to read this Owner’s Manual and under-
stand it thoroughly before operating your watercraft.
Always turn the boat on PORT side. Rolling to
the STARBOARD side can cause water in the ex-
haust system to run into the engine, with possi-
ble engine damage.
If the watercraft has capsized, follow the righting
procedure on page 96 immediately. If water is left
in the engine more than a few hours, it will de-
stroy the crankshaft bearings and damage other
internal engine parts.
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.
Do not operate in shallow or debris-laden water,
or the impeller may be damaged and sand may
clog the water cooling hoses.
Do not run the watercraft onto the shore, or se-
vere impeller damage may occur.
Since Jet Ski personal watercraft are not de-
signed to be docked in the water for extended
periods,
prolonged
immersion
in
water
will
cause the hull paint to bubble and peel, as well
as electrolytic erosion of some metal parts in
the jet pump. To prevent paint damage and elec-
trolytic erosion, remove your Jet Ski watercraft
