Towing the watercraft

If the watercraft becomes inoperative in the water, it can be towed to shore.

If the watercraft must be towed in an emergency using a tow line, the operator should ride the watercraft, holding onto the handlebars.

CAUTION:

●Tow the watercraft slowly; water may enter the air intake and flood the engine compartment if the watercraft is towed too fast.

●Tow the watercraft using the bow eye 1 only.

●The bow must be kept up out of the water during towing to prevent water from entering the engine compart- ment.

WARNING

●The watercraft should only be towed in an emergency.

●The tow line should be long enough so that the watercraft will not collide with the towing boat when slowing down. A good rule of thumb is a tow line which is three times the combined length of the towing boat and the watercraft. A shorter length of rope can be used if the watercraft is towed very slowly.

●The operator of the towing boat must keep speed to a minimum and avoid traffic or obstacles which could be a hazard to the rider on the watercraft.
