Capsized watercraft

If the watercraft capsizes, turn it over immediately.

Be sure to carefully follow the procedures below to prevent injury or damage to the watercraft.

WARNING

IMPROPER UPRIGHTING CAN CAUSE INJURY:

Make sure that the engine shut-off cord is removed from the engine shut- off switch.

Do not put your hands in the intake grate.

Watch so you are not hit by the water- craft as it comes over.

CAUTION:

If the watercraft capsizes, release the throttle lever immediately. Oil could flow into the air filter case and the engine could be damaged.

1.Remove the clip from the engine shut-off switch.

2.Swim to the rear of the watercraft. Pull the watercraft over with your left hand on the ride plate while pushing down on the gunwale with your right hand or foot.

NOTE:

If the port (left) side of the capsized water- craft is tilting up, push down on the gunwale so that the port (left) side is down before turning the watercraft clockwise.

CAUTION:

Do not turn the watercraft over counter- clockwise, otherwise water can leak into the engine, which can result in severe damage.
