NOTICE When starting the engine or riding, the watercraft 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 damage the pump and impeller, and possibly clog cooling lines. If operating in shallow or debris-laden water, 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 impeller. j A. Stop Button B.
