ENGINE PREPARATION
Operation of the power board engine out of the water for more than
ten (10) seconds can result in permanent damage to the engine and ex-
haust system, (temperatures of cylinder shouldn’t be higher than 65 °C/
149°F). Such damage is not covered under the warranty.
Touching any part of a running engine, in particular any component that
is moving, can result in serious injury or death. If it is necessary to ac-
cess or touch an engine for any reason, the engine must be turned o.
EEngine also become increasingly hot with usage and can result in skin
burns if engine is not allowed to cool prior to touching it.
Never transport fuel except in D.O.T. (USA) or CE (Europe) -approved con-
tainers.
Transporting fuel in the engine or fuel tank can result in damage to Jet-
Surf™ or injury to people handling the board. Fumes from fuel are even
more volatile, explosive and generally dangerous than liquid fuel. Never
transport JetSurf™ power board with the tank inside. JetSurf™ transport
is described in detail in the chapter “TRANSPORT” page 41, part A.
Later in this Owner’s Manual are instructions for the proper preparation and maintenance of the
power board’s engine. Be sure to read and follow these instructions.
Note also that operators should regularly verify that the engine is probably installed and rmly axed
to the engine housing. DO NOT attempt to start an engine that is not secure!
Operators and bystanders should NEVER touch any part of a running engine.
Avoid allowing any object, even small bio-degradable items (seaweed, sand, small animals...) to come
into contact with the engine. This could result in damage to the engine that would not be covered
under warranty.
Use only JetSurf™-approved (manufacturer) replacement parts. Using any other parts will void the
warranty and may adversely aect the operation and safety of the power board.
When starting the engine, ensure that individuals (especially children) are at least 33 feet/10 meters away.
The engine was designed and crafted for the JetSurf™ retail power board only. Never use
the engine for any other craft, object, projectile, or item. Such usage is expressly prohibited.

WARNING
CLOTHING
Persons in range of the power board’s engine moving parts should exercise caution to
avoid having clothing or hair come in contact. If clothing or hair become entangled in mov-
ing parts, injury may result.
Because the engine has moving parts, owners/operators should never wear loose clothing when the
engine is in operation. Straps, buckles, as well as the edges of cloth can become entangled in JetSurf™
moving parts.
If the owner/operator has long hair, it should be tied up or secured in some fashion so that the hair
cannot become entangled in the engine’s moving JetSurf™.
An injury can occur nearby the jets as a result of water inux into the body cavities. Conventional
swimwear does not protect suciently against water being forced into rectum or vagina. All the riders
must wear at least the bottom part of the neoprene suit or any other garment providing the same
protection. We recommend wearing footwear, gloves and glasses.
Helmets are a compulsory item of safety gear and must be worn at all times while riding. It is expected
that operators will, from time to time, fall o the power board, even in normal operation. Helmets
provide protection in the event the operator’s head would strike the board. Helmets are therefore a
mandatory accessory and should be manufactured to wear on the water, t properly and be relatively
lightweight. Manufacturer JetSurf™ makes no claims nor promises regarding protection, including that
aorded by helmets.
The use of an arm or leg leash is compulsory and must be used at all times while using JetSurf™.
PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES (PFDs)
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to comply with any and all laws, statutes and requirements
for personal safety. American federal law requires the wearing of a U.S. Coast Guard-approved* person-
al otation device (PFD) under most circumstances. State and local laws and statutes may also vary
from federal requirements.
As JetSurf™ power boards are commonly dened as personal water craft it is essential for all users to
check with their relevant local Authorities for all information relating to the use of safety accessories.
JetSurf™ takes no responsibility for failure of users to comply with the relevant laws which apply to
the use of personal water craft in any specic location.
Authorized dealers are able to assist owners and operators in ensuring that they are properly outt-
ted for conditions and to comply with the law of the countries where JetSurf™ is used.
