Operator Safety
Jet Pump Water Intake Safety
Contact with the jet pump or driveline components of the watercraft can result in severe injury, death or drowning. Do not allow hands, feet, ropes, straps, clothing or long hair to come in contact with the jet pump water intake (1) on the bottom of the watercraft while the engine is running.
Never insert any object into the intake or outlet (2) of the jet pump, and never start or operate the watercraft with the inlet grate, ride plate (3), or any guards or shields removed.
To prevent serious injury due to accidental starter engagement, be sure the engine is off and the safety lanyard is disconnected before removing weeds or debris that may have collected in or around the jet pump intake.
SAFETY
Electrical Shock Hazard
Never touch or remove electrical parts while starting or during operation of the watercraft. Severe injury or death could result from electrical shock.
Safe Riding Position
Falling off a watercraft can result in serious injury. The operator and any passengers should always keep both feet firmly planted on the floorboards while the watercraft is in motion. The passenger should face forward and firmly hang on to the operator’s waist, except in towing situations, when the spotter faces the rear and uses the grab handle to hold on.
Lifting the Watercraft
Severe back injury or other injury could result from attempting to lift the watercraft without assistance.
