OPERATION

Pre-Operation Inspection

Loose Parts

Inspect the watercraft for any loose nuts, bolts,
fasteners and hoses. Be sure that all hose clamps are
tight. Replace cracked or deteriorating hoses.

Seat

To access the engine/storage
compartment, disengage
the rear seat latch (1).
Always remove the seat
and ventilate the engine
compartment before
starting the engine. Be
sure all seats are properly
positioned and secure
before operating the
watercraft.

NOTE: The seat is not a personal flotation device
(PFD) and will not provide life-saving flotation.
Always wear a PFD when operating or riding a
watercraft.

Fire Extinguisher

The operator of the
watercraft is required by law
to carry a fire extinguisher on
board. Always keep a fully
charged and working fire
extinguisher inside the
fire extinguisher holder,
which is located inside the
storage area under the front
compartment door.

A fire extinguisher is not standard equipment with this
watercraft. Contact your Polaris dealer or a fire
extinguisher dealer to purchase a U.S. Coast
Guard-approved fire extinguisher with a UL 5-B:C
rating.
