Launching
Launching/Start
Launching
•
Before putting the watercraft in the water, be sure
you have followed the Pre-ride Checklist.
•
Before launching, check the ramp for suitable sur-
face conditions, inclination and width for both the
trailer and tow vehicle.
NOTICE
Ensure the drain screws are securely tight-
ened before launching to prevent flooding
which may cause sinking or severe engine
damage.
•
Attach a bow line to the watercraft and detach the
trailer tie-downs.
•
Wait until it’s your turn then back the trailer to the
water.
•
Unlock the winch and push the craft slowly off the
trailer into the water.
•
Move your watercraft to a docking or loading area
and park your tow vehicle. Do not block the ramp.
Start
•
Check that the shift lever is in the “F” position to
go forward or “R” for reverse.
•
When leaving the dock, either push the watercraft
away from the dock or run at a slight angle away
from it until there is enough room for the rear of
the craft to swing, since the watercraft turns at the
stern and not at the bow.
•
Check that your path is clear and move the han-
dlebar in the direction you want to go.
WARNING
Failure to see other boats or obstructions in
your path can cause an accident resulting
in injury or death. To reduce the risk of ac-
cident, always observe your surroundings.
This is especially critical during a new oper-
ator’s first exciting ride.
•
Apply the throttle to produce enough thrust from
the jet pump to allow directional control over the
watercraft.
NOTICE
Avoid quick turns or acceleration when leav-
ing the dock, or you might hit the dock and
damage the watercraft. The operator should
make sure there is room for a turn before
making any quick maneuvers.
•
Accelerate gradually as you proceed into open wa-
ter. Remember to observe “No Wake” zones and
speed limits.
•
As speed increases the watercraft will level out in
the water. This is called planing.
•
Once the watercraft is planing, you can back off
the throttle and select your desired speed.
