OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
j
NOTICE
If the engine continues running with the craft
capsized, water can enter the throttle body
and engine, locking the engine and causing
severe and immediate damage to internal en-
gine parts.
To prevent severe engine dam-
age, immediately stop the engine if the craft
is capsized.
Do not operate the watercraft with water in
the engine.
Do not try to start the engine until it is com-
pletely empty of water; internal engine parts
could be severely and immediately damaged.
If water gets into the engine, follow the pro-
cedure described in the After Submerging
section.
Swim to the rear corner of the capsized craft.
Push down on the port side of the craft with one
hand and reach across the hull and grasp the rear
of the deck with the other, as though trying to pull
yourself up onto the bottom of the hull.
Now, push down on the rear corner of the hull with
one foot, using your body weight to roll the cap-
sized craft toward you.
As the craft rolls over toward you, reach for the far
side of the hull, if needed, and pull it on over.
NOTICE
Rolling
the
capsized
watercraft
counter-
clockwise (to its STARBOARD side) can
cause water in the exhaust system to run into
the engine, with possible engine damage.
Always turn the capsized boat clockwise so
that the PORT side always faces downward.
After
the
watercraft
has
capsized
and
been
righted, it may have water in the engine com-
partment.
Carefully go back aboard from the
rear, trying not to let more water into the engine
compartment under the seats.
