Cooling water pilot outlet

This watercraft is equipped with cooling water pilot outlets.

When the engine is running, cooling water is circulated in the engine, and then it is discharged from the pilot outlets.

To check for proper operation of the cool- ing system, check that water is being dis- charged from the pilot outlets. If water is not being discharged from the outlets, cooling water may not be circulating in the engine. When this occurs, stop the engine and check for the cause. (See pages 2-17 and 5-4 for further instructions.)

NOTE:

If the cooling water passages are dry, it will take about 20 seconds for the water to reach the outlets after the engine is started.

Steering system

Your watercraft can be steered by turning the handlebars 1 the same direction you wish to travel.

When the handlebars are turned, the angle of the jet thrust nozzle 2 is changed, and the direction of the watercraft is changed accordingly. Since the strength of the jet thrust determines the speed and direction of a turn, the throttle must always be open when attempting a turn, except at trolling speed.
