If the engine is run while the watercraft is in very shallow water, sand, weeds and debris may be sucked into the jet intake and could cause damage to the impeller or injury to bystanders. Ingesting sand into the cooling system will cause the engine to overheat, which could lead to engine damage.

Whenever starting the engine, always be sure the watercraft is in water at least two feet (60 cm) deep.
