72 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS if it is capsized (see Righting the Capsized Watercraft in the Riding the JET SKI Watercraft section). Never operate the watercraft after dark. It was not designed for such use, and has no lighting equipment. Avoid operating the watercraft in waters full of weeds or debris, as they may clog the jet pump, and cause an injury if you fall. Do not operate in shallow water, or the impeller may be damaged and sand may clog the water cooling hoses. Be very careful of other boats, especially those towing water skiers. Give them plenty of room. Never go over a ski jump. You could damage the watercraft or injure yourself. Do not operate the watercraft in ocean surf. In addition to being dangerous, it may be illegal in certain localities. Slow down before crossing waves. Do not ride if you have a back condition. High speed operation in choppy or rough water may cause back injuries. The operator should always stop the engine and pull the engine shut-off lanyard key before a passenger uses the reboarding step. A reboarding passenger could be injured if their leg slips through the reboarding step and they are dragged through the water. The passenger should not use the reboarding step while the engine is running. The operator must judge what is a safe speed taking into consideration visibility, traffic, weather conditions, waves, etc. Water conditions such as converging waves can have considerable influence on the ride characteristics of a personal watercraft and can cause the operator and passengers to fall off. Additionally, attempting to achieve maximum speed in adverse conditions can cause abrupt movement of the boat causing possible injury to the riders. j NOTICE Jumping waves can overstress the watercraft hull and cause it to crack. To prevent hull cracks, do not jump waves. •
