OPERATION
Beaching the Watercraft
1. Slowly approach the beaching area and stop the
engine in no less than two feet (60 cm) of water.
Make sure there are no swimmers, boats or other
obstacles close to the watercraft, as it will be
impossible to turn the watercraft after stopping the
engine.
2. Dismount the watercraft and guide it to the beach.
3. Before restarting, inspect the impeller/jet pump
area for sand and debris.
4. Move the watercraft to at least two feet (60 cm) of
water and push the rear of the watercraft up and
down in the water to help flush sand and debris out
of the pump. CAUTION
Sand, pebbles, weeds and debris can enter the jet
pump and cause severe damage to components.
Ingestion of sand into the cooling system may
cause the engine to overheat and could result in
severe engine damage. Never beach the watercraft
while the engine is running. Shut off the engine
when entering water less than two feet (60 cm)
deep.
