Beaching the Watercraft
CAUTION
Sand, pebbles, weeds and debris can enter the jet pump and cause severe damage to components. Ingestion of sand into the cooling system may cause the engine to overheat and could result in severe engine damage. Never beach the watercraft while the engine is running. Shut off the engine when entering water less than two feet (60 cm) deep.
1.Slowly approach the beaching area and stop the engine in no less than two feet (60 cm) of water. Make sure there are no swimmers, boats or other obstacles close to the watercraft, as it will be impossible to turn the watercraft after stopping the engine.
2.Dismount the watercraft and guide it to the beach.
3.Before restarting, inspect the impeller/jet pump area for sand and debris.
