Hazard information

●When transporting or storing your water- craft, always place the fuel cock knob in the “OFF” position, otherwise gasoline may overflow from the carburetor.

●Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate the watercraft in an open area.

Watercraft characteristics

●Jet thrust turns the watercraft. Releasing the throttle completely produces only min- imum thrust. If you are traveling at speeds above trolling, you will have rapidly decreasing ability to steer without throttle. You may still have some turning ability immediately after releasing the throttle, but once the engine slows down, the watercraft will no longer respond to han- dlebar input until you open the throttle again or you reach a trolling speed. Prac- tice turning in an open area without obstructions until you have a good feel for this maneuver.

●This watercraft are water-jet propelled. The jet pump is directly connected to the engine. This means that jet thrust will pro- duce some movement whenever the engine is running. There is no “neutral” position. You are in either “forward” or “reverse,” depending upon the shift lever position.

●Do not use the reverse function to slow down or stop the watercraft as it could cause you to lose control, be ejected, or impact the handlebars.

This could increase the risk of back/spinal injury (paralysis), facial injuries, and bro- ken legs, ankles, and other bones. You could also damage the shift mechanism.
