Watercraft Owner's Manual

OPERATION

Launching the Watercraft

1. Inspect the drain plugs to ensure they’re securely

installed.

2. Launch the watercraft in an area free of weeds and

debris. Make sure the craft is in at least two feet of

water before starting the engine.

3. Push the rear of the

watercraft up and

down several times

to flush out any sand

that could be trapped

in the pump.

4. Remove the seat to

ventilate the engine

compartment. Reinstall

the seat and latch

securely.

5. Carefully board the watercraft and sit down.

6. Start the engine as outlined beginning on page 57.

Stopping the Engine

Do not turn off the engine until the watercraft has

stopped moving. Your craft requires engine power for

steering, so after the engine has stopped, you’ll lose all

steering control of the watercraft.

1. Release the throttle lever. When the engine has

slowed to an idle and the craft has stopped

moving, push in the stop button. The engine

should stop immediately. You may also stop the

engine by pulling the lanyard lock plate off the

engine stop switch.

2. Be sure the water is at

least two feet (60 cm)

deep when stopping

to prevent debris

from entering

the impeller or

cooling system.

3. Remove the

lanyard lock

plate. Never leave

the lanyard attached to an unattended watercraft.
