Boarding the Watercraft

General

As with any watercraft, boarding should be done carefully and engine should not be running.

WARNING

Engine should be OFF when boarding the watercraft or when using boarding step. Keep limbs away from jet or intake grate. Stay on center of the step. Only one per- son at a time on the step. Never use the step for pulling, towing, diving or jumping, boarding a wa- tercraft that is out of water or any other purpose other than a board- ing step.

Boarding is facilitated by using a step.

WARNING

Inexperienced riders should prac- tice how to get aboard (all meth- ods explained here) close to shore first before venturing into deep water.

WARNING

Never use jet pump components or side vanes as a supporting point to board the watercraft.

Boarding from a Dock or in Shallow Water

When boarding from a dock, slowly place one foot on the watercraft foot- board nearest the dock and, at the same time, transfer the body weight to the other side in order to balance the watercraft while holding the handlebar. Then, bring the other foot over the seat and put it on the other footboard. Push the watercraft away from the dock.

F18A01Y

In shallow water, board the watercraft either from the side or the rear.

Ensure there is at least 90 cm (3 ft) of water underneath the lowest rear por- tion of the hull.

Take into account that the hull will lower in water when all passengers are aboard. Be certain to maintain the specified depth so sand, pebbles and rocks will not be drawn up in the jet pump.

NOTICE Starting the engine or rid- ing the watercraft in shallower water might damage the impeller or other jet pump components.
