OPERATION
Pre-Operation Inspection
Switches/Buttons
Perform these checks while the watercraft is in the
water:
1. Check the inside of the engine compartment for
fuel or water leaks. Do not operate the watercraft
until any leaks have been repaired and the engine
compartment has been ventilated.
2. Start the engine and
let it run for a few
seconds. Remove
the lanyard lock
plate (1) from
the engine stop
switch (2) to test
operation. The
engine should stop
immediately. If it
doesn’t, press the stop switch to stop the engine.
Do not ride the watercraft. See your Polaris dealer
for service before operating the watercraft.
3. If removing the lanyard lock plate successfully
stopped the engine in the previous step, start the
engine again and allow it to run for a few seconds.
Depress the engine stop button. If the engine
doesn’t stop immediately, remove the lanyard lock
plate to stop the engine. Do not ride the watercraft.
See your Polaris dealer for service before operating
the watercraft.
