Boarding the Watercraft

General

As with any watercraft,

boarding

should be done carefully and engine
should not be running.



WARNING

Engine

should

OFF

when

boarding

the

watercraft.

Keep

limbs away from jet or intake
grate.



WARNING

Inexperienced riders should prac-
tice how to get aboard (all meth-
ods explained here) close to shore
first before venturing into deep
water.



WARNING

Never use jet pump components
as a supporting point to board the
watercraft.

Boarding from a Dock or
in Shallow Water

When boarding from a dock, hold the
handlebar and carefully place one foot
in the middle of the watercraft rear
platform. Transfer your body weight
to bring the other foot to the platform.
Push the watercraft away from the
dock.

F22L1EY

NOTE:

When boarding a watercraft

with the “moto“ or kart seat configu-
ration, you can use the seat as an ad-
ditional support point to keep your bal-
ance.

In shallow water, board the watercraft
either from the side or the rear.

Ensure there is at least 90 cm (3 ft)
of water underneath the lowest rear
portion of the hull.

F22L09Y

A. Maintain at least 90 cm (3 ft) underneath

the lowest rear portion of the hull
when you are aboard

Remember that the hull will ride deep-
er in the water when you are aboard.
