CAPSIZED WATER VEHICLE
1) Turn off the engine by removing the
lock-plate from the engine stop lanyard
switch. The engine will overheat when
capsized because it has no water to
pump as coolant.
2) Swim to the rear side of the vehicle. Pull
the vehicle over clockwise with the left
hand on the jet pump cover while push-
ing down on the gunwale with your right
hand/foot.
Do not turn the vehicle counterclock-
wise, or water may leak into the carbure-
tor and engine.
NOTE:
If the right side of the capsized vehicle (view
from rear of the vehicle) tilts upward, first tilt
the vehicle so the right side is down by
pressing down on the gunwale with your
weight. Then turn the vehicle over as
described.
3) Start the engine using normal proce-
dure, then head for shore to inspect
engine for water damage.
