If the engine is stopped with the start/
stop button while the safety lanyard re-
mains on the post, it can be restarted
within approximately 10 minutes by
pressing the engine start/stop button.
After this delay, it is necessary to apply
a slight pressure or to remove and re-
install the safety lanyard on the post to
allow engine starting.
2) Handlebar
The handlebar controls the direction of
the watercraft. Turning the handlebar
to the right steers the watercraft to the
right and inversely.
3) Throttle Lever
When the throttle lever is squeezed,
the watercraft accelerates. When fully
released, engine automatically slows
down to idle speed and watercraft is
gradually
stopped
by water drag.
Carburetor-Equipped Models
Do not depress lever unnecessarily
when engine is not running. A fuel ac-
celerator pump delivers fuel to the en-
gine each time throttle lever is applied.
CAUTION:
Engine can be flooded if
throttle lever is unnecessarily ap-
plied several times. If engine is flood-
ed, it will not start. Refer to SPECIAL
PROCEDURES for instructions.

All Models
To start engine, depress and hold the
start/stop button. Release immediate-
ly after engine is started.
To stop engine, fully release throttle le-
ver then depress the start/stop button
