WARNING
Avoid injury resulting from contacting the rotating impeller or having hair,
clothing, or loose objects drawn into the water intake and wrapping around
the impeller shaft. Stay away from the water intake and never insert an object
into the water intake or water outlet nozzle when the engine is running.
The jet drive is always drawing water into the housing when the engine is
running. Do not operate the jet drive with the grate removed from the water
intake. Keep hands, feet, hair, loose clothing, life jackets, etc., away from the
water intake. Never insert an object into the water intake or water outlet nozzle
when the engine is running.
STOPPING THE BOAT IN AN EMERGENCY
A jet powered boat has emergency stopping capability unique to this form of
propulsion.
!
WARNING
Using the emergency stopping capability of a jet drive unit will slow down the
boat in an emergency. However, sudden stopping may cause the occupants
of the boat to be thrown forward or out of the boat resulting in serious injury
or death. Use caution when performing the emergency stopping procedure,
and be sure to practice in a safe area.
In an emergency, putting the jet outboard into reverse and applying reverse
throttle can rapidly slow down the boat and reduce stopping distance. However,
such a maneuver may cause occupants in the boat to be thrown forward or
possibly out of the boat.
STEERING THE BOAT
The jet drive is dependent on water jet thrust for steering the boat. If the water
jet thrust should ever stop (water blockage, engine stops, etc.), the boat will
slow to a stop. However, while slowing there will be a reduced ability to steer
the boat.
!
WARNING
Steering the vessel in a tight turn can result in loss of boat control. In some
cases, the boat can spin out or roll over, causing serious injury or death.
Avoid steering beyond the capabilities of the vessel, especially at high
speeds.
