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 stand- still, proceed as follows:

1.The passenger must steady the water- craft while the operator is boarding. The operator pulls him or herself up to a kneeling position on the platform, and then moves to the seat and sits astride to balance the watercraft.

2.The operator attaches the engine shut- off cord to his or her left wrist, and then installs the clip to the engine shut-off switch.

3.The operator starts the engine and lets it run at idle.

4.The passenger pulls him or herself up to a kneeling position, and then crawls onto the seat as the watercraft accelerates.

5.The operator gradually increases speed to balance the watercraft.
