JETSURF ADVENTURE DFI PLUS - Starting from the Bank (in Shallow Water)

DFI003/EN_part A
During the time when the engine is running, check the engine operation both optically and acoustically.
Check whether the engine acceleration is correct and whether the freewheel has been adjusted cor-
rectly.
WARNING! The correct engine operation is only checked on the engine when warmed up. After the
very rst start, the engine may run irregularly. In such a case repeat the start procedure once or twice.
The rider prepared to use the JetSurf™ MUST WEAR a life jacket, safety helmet and MUST HAVE the
original JetSurf™ wrist band with the engine shut-o key attached to his/her wrist and it must be
connected with the motorized power board by means of the safety leash.
For sharp start from water it is necessary to nd a suitable place where to start riding. First it is nec-
essary to have a sucient depth from which we can start safely without damaging the bottom ns of
the vessel. The minimum depth is 50 cm. Keep in mind that after starting the engine, the rear part of
the board may sink by 10-20 cm.
Never start JetSurf™ in swimming areas. Also make sure that you have
sucient space for manoeuvring, mainly if you are a beginner. The ideal
area is 300x300 m without ovbstacles and with smooth water surface.
Always check water (the dirt and litter in the water) to avoid sucking
them into engine or propeller and damaging JetSurf

STARTING FROM THE BANK (IN SHALLOW WATER)
In order to speed up the process of starting, we recommend performing of the engine check and
warm-up (the rst start stage) on the bank and carrying the started power board to water within 5
minutes where the second stage of starting will be performed.
The following picture – FIGURE 1 shows the correct position of the rider when starting from
shallow water. The rider holds his/her JetSurf™ with both hands in such a way that with his/her more
dextrous hand he/she is able to hold the vessel and control the throttle trigger at the same time
– FIGURE 2. The rider IS STANDING next to the board, NOT LYING on the board. When
the rider is in the correct position for starting, with his/her free hand in which he/she does not have
control handle he/she can insert the engine shut-o key in the engine shut-o switch (on condition
that the ICU has been activated) – FIGURE 3.
During the three-second delay between inserting the engine shut-o key and starting of the JetSurf™,
the rider holds the throttle. After having started the JetSurf™ and its subsequent acceleration, the
rider must jump onto the JetSurf™ with his/her full weight - FIGURE 4.
ATTENTION: For comfortable ride and correct functionality of the equipment it is necessary to
hold the throttle for the whole ride. It is not necessary to keep the full speed but when the speed is
not sucient, the vessel becomes unstable and more dicult to control.
After the JetSurf™ gets going, check optically the correct cooling system
operation. From the right side you should see a continuous ow of water
coming out of the cooling system (at least 30 cm high). If you cannot see
the water, stop immediately and check the vessel.
