WARNING
Before starting off, make sure that there are no boats, swimmers, or obstacles around you.
NOTE:
The heavier the total weight of the operator and passengers, the more difficult it will be to balance the watercraft. Do not operate the watercraft when the total weight exceeds 240 kg (530 lb) including any cargo. If it is difficult to balance the watercraft at a standstill, proceed as follows:
(1)While the passengers are steadying the watercraft, pull yourself up onto the boarding platform into a kneeling posi-
tion, and then move to the seat and sit astride to balance the watercraft.
(2)Have a passenger pull him or herself up onto the boarding platform into a kneeling position, then move to the seat and sit astride to balance the watercraft.
(3)Attach the engine
(4)Start the engine and keep it at idle.
(5)Have the second passenger pull him or herself up onto the boarding platform into a kneeling position, then crawl onto the seat as the watercraft accelerates.
