OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
F18A03Y
NOTICE Pay attention, when leav-
ing the watercraft on the beach, so
that the side vanes do not rub or hit
the ground due to the rocking move-
ment. It might eventually damage
components of the O.P.A.S. system.
Shutting Off the Engine
To keep watercraft directional control,
the engine should be running until the
watercraft is at idle.
To stop engine depress the start/stop
button. When stopped, disconnect
DESS key from its post. It is suggested
to release throttle lever first.
To shut off the engine, press the en-
gine start/stop button. Remove DESS
KEY from watercraft.
WARNING
Should the engine be shut off, wa-
tercraft directional control is re-
duced. Never leave the DESS key
on its post when watercraft is not
in operation in order to prevent ac-
cidental engine starting or to avoid
unauthorized use by children or
others or theft.
Post-Operation Care
WARNING
Allow engine to cool before per-
forming any maintenance.
General Care
Remove the watercraft from the water
every day to prevent marine organisms
growth.
Should any water be present in the hull,
unscrew the drain plugs and tilt the wa-
tercraft to the rear in order to allow wa-
ter to flow out.
Wipe up any remaining fluid in the
engine compartment (bilge, engine,
battery, etc.) with clean dry rags (this
is particularly important in salt water
use).
Additional Care for Foul Water or
Salt Water
When the watercraft is operated in foul
water and particularly in salt water, ad-
ditional care should be taken to protect
the watercraft and its components.
It is a good practice to lubricate throttle
body after every 10 hours of use, refer
to
MAINTENANCE section for proce-
dure.
Rinse watercraft bilge area with fresh
water.
Never use a high pressure washer to
clean the bilge. USE LOW PRESSURE
ONLY (like a garden hose).
High pressure can cause electrical or
mechanical damages.
NOTICE Failure to perform proper
care such as: watercraft rinsing, ex-
haust system flushing, intercooler
flushing (supercharged models) and
anticorrosion treatment, when wa-
tercraft is used in salt water, will re-
sult in damage to the watercraft and
its components. Never leave the
watercraft stored in direct sunlight.
