Operator Safety
Obstacles and Shallow Water
Always be on the lookout for dangerous obstacles
above and below the water surface, especially in
shallow water. Use extra caution when riding in
unfamiliar areas.
Never ride in water that is less than two feet (60 cm)
deep, and do not operate at more than an idle speed in
water that is less than six feet deep. Colliding with an
underwater object could result in serious injury or
death. Ingesting sand into the cooling system will also
cause the engine to overheat, which could lead to
serious mechanical damage.
If the watercraft has been beached or has been sitting
in shallow water, clear out any sand or small rocks
before boarding and restarting the watercraft. Remove
the particles by bouncing the back of the machine up
and down in at least two feet of water. If the craft has
been beached with the engine running, flush the system
as outlined beginning on page 82.
CAUTION
Failure to flush the freshwater cooling system
after the watercraft has been beached could
result in serious engine damage. Always follow
the recommended flushing procedures and flush
the freshwater cooling system any time the
watercraft has been beached with the engine
running.
