Transporting 

WARNING

EWJ00750

Always turn the fuel cock knob to “OFF”
when transporting the watercraft, other-
wise fuel could leak out into the engine or
engine compartment, which would create
a fire hazard.

When transporting the watercraft on a trailer,
secure the bow rope hole and stern of the wa-
tercraft to the trailer with ropes or tie downs.
Use a rubber shock cord to secure the steer-
ing pole to the watercraft. 

NOTICE:

 Do not

secure the steering pole with ropes or tie
downs and do not secure it to the trailer.
Also, do not transport the watercraft with
the steering pole up. Otherwise, the steer-
ing pole could be damaged. Wrap the
ropes or tie downs with towels or rags

where they touch the body of the water-
craft to avoid scratches or damage.
