OPERATION
Stopping the Watercraft
WARNING
Colliding with an object in the water can result in
serious injury or death. All riders must keep feet,
arms and hands inside the watercraft at all times,
especially while approaching a dock, a vessel or
another object. Do not turn off the engine while
approaching an object. Engine power is required
for steering.
Practice stopping to become familiar with the
procedure. Stopping is affected by gross weight
(watercraft and rider), vehicle speed, wind direction
and water surface conditions.
The watercraft is not equipped with a brake system.
When the throttle is released, the natural drag of the
water slows and stops the watercraft.
Always keep a safe distance from other vessels,
swimmers, objects in the water and the shoreline.
Refer to local regulations about safe operating
distances for the body of water you operate on.
Allow yourself plenty of room for stopping. When
operating at full speed, it could take the watercraft as
much as 300 feet (90 m) to come to a stop after the
throttle is released.
NOTE:
This distance is approximate and is supplied
only for reference. Use good judgement and
always allow plenty of room for stopping.
After releasing the throttle, coast toward the desired
stopping area with the engine idling. Be prepared to
use the throttle again for steering control.
CAUTION
Stopping the engine without allowing the engine
to idle for 60 seconds after full load operation
may result in engine damage. Always allow the
engine to idle for 60 seconds before stopping the
engine.
Allow the engine to idle for 60 seconds after full load
operation before pushing the engine stop button. Push
the engine stop button before entering shallow water to
prevent sand and debris from entering the pump and
cooling system.
