fuel tank caps are installed and tight.

WARNING
Never tip this vehicle on its end for
transportation.
We recommend
that you carry the vehicle in its
normal operating position.
Check the laws and regulations in your
area that apply, especially the rules
pertaining to:
– brake system
– tow vehicle weight
– mirrors.
Take the following precautions when
trailering the watercraft:
Secure the watercraft on the trailer by
using tie-downs through the two stern
eyelets (rear) in addition to the bow
eyelet (front).Use additional tie-downs
if necessary.
CAUTION:
Do not route ropes or
tie-downs over the kart seat (if so
equipped) or “moto“ seat as they
could produce permanent damage.
Wrap ropes or tie-downs with rags
or similar protectors over the body
of the watercraft only.
Make sure that the engine cover, the
kart seat (if so equipped) or “moto“
seat are properly latched.

WARNING
Make sure the kart seat (if so
equipped) or “moto“ seat is se-
curely latched prior to trailering.
A Sea-Doo cover will help to protect
the watercraft, particularly when driv-
ing on dirt roads. This will prevent dirt
entry through the air intake opening(s).
In addition, the cover will properly re-
tain steering pole to prevent move-
ment.
Kart Seat Configuration (if
so equipped)
If a Sea-Doo cover is not used, the
steering pole must be locked down to
prevent any movement during trans-
portation. Use the steering pole re-
tainer for that purpose.
