Operator Safety
Obstacles and Shallow Water
Always be on the lookout for dangerous obstacles above and below the water surface, especially in shallow water. Use extra caution when riding in unfamiliar areas.
Never ride in water that is less than two feet (60 cm) deep, and do not operate at more than an idle speed in water that is less than six feet deep. Colliding with an underwater object could result in severe injury or death. Ingesting sand into the cooling system will also cause the engine to overheat, which could lead to serious mechanical damage.
2 ft. (60cm) Minimum
SAFETY
If the watercraft has been beached or has been sitting in shallow water, clear out any sand or small rocks before boarding and restarting the watercraft. Remove the particles by bouncing the back of the machine up and down in at least two feet of water. If the craft has been beached, flush the cooling system.
CAUTION
Failure to flush the cooling system after the watercraft has been beached could result in serious engine damage. Always follow the recommended flushing procedures and flush the cooling system any time the watercraft has been beached.
