OPERATION
Beaching the Watercraft
CAUTION
Sand, pebbles, weeds and debris can enter the
jet pump and cause serious damage to
components. Ingestion of sand into the cooling
system may cause the engine to overheat and
could result in serious engine damage. Never
beach the watercraft while the engine is running.
Shut off the engine upon entering water less than
two feet (60 cm) deep.
1. Slowly approach the beaching area and stop the
engine in no less than two feet (60 cm) of water.
Make sure there are no swimmers, boats or other
obstacles close to the watercraft, as it will be
impossible to turn the watercraft after stopping the
engine.
2. Dismount the watercraft and guide it to the beach.
3. Before restarting, inspect the impeller/jet pump
area and speedometer paddle wheel for sand and
debris.
4. Move the watercraft to at least two feet (60 cm) of
water and push the rear of the watercraft up and
down in the water to help flush sand and debris out
of the pump.
5. If the craft has been beached with the engine
running, flush the system as outlined beginning on
page 82.
