OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
j
WARNING
Suddenly shifting into reverse at high speed
can cause the bow to suddenly dive into the
water, throwing the occupants forward which
can cause severe injury. To avoid injury, do
not shift into reverse while going forward and
do not use reverse as a brake. Slow the wa-
tercraft to a stop and alert any passengers
before shifting to reverse.
•
Turn around and look behind you before backing
up to be sure there are no other boats, swimmers,
or obstructions in your path.
Do not rely solely
on the rear view mirrors; you may not see objects
clearly, or at all.
•
Gradually open the throttle and begin backing up
cautiously.
Docking the JET SKI Watercraft
•
When docking, use the throttle efficiently both to
control the craft’s speed and to keep directional
control over the craft.
•
When you are approaching the shore where you
intend to land, push the stop button to prevent
sand from entering the jet pump and the impeller.
Do not operate the engine in water shallower than
0.8 m (2.5 ft).
NOTICE
•
When starting the engine or riding, the wa-
tercraft must be in water at least 0.8 m (2.5
ft) deep. Sand or debris from the bottom
may be drawn into the jet pump and dam-
age the pump and impeller, and possibly
clog cooling lines.
•
If operating in shallow or debris-laden wa-
ter, objects or sand from the bottom can
get sucked in damaging the impeller and
possibly clogging cooling hoses which
can cause severe engine damage from
overheating.
•
Avoid beaching the watercraft. Stones and
sand can scratch the hull and be drawn into
the jet pump, causing damage to the im-
peller.
•
Remember that stopping the engine causes you
to lose steering control, so cut the engine only
after you have reduced speed and maneuvered
into your final approaching position. You cannot
make any emergency maneuvers with the engine
stopped.
Fall Recovery
If the operator falls off the craft, the lanyard key is
pulled off the stop button and the engine is stopped
immediately.
