needs air to operate; consequently
this watercraft cannot be totally wa-
tertight. Any maneuvers such as fig-
ure eights etc., that cause the upper
deck to be under water may cause
severe engine problems due to wa-
ter ingestion. Refer to SPECIAL PRO-
CEDURES and LIMITED WARRAN-
TY contained in this section.
Models with Off-Power Assisted
Steering System (O.P.A.S.)
Two side vanes on the rear sides of the
hull, turn as the steering is turned to
assist the watercraft turning. At first,
carefully experiment turning with this
system.
1. Side vanes turn following steering movement
Boarding the Watercraft
General
As with any watercraft, boarding should
be done carefully and engine should not
be running.
On some models
, boarding is facilitat-
ed by using a step.
Boarding from a Dock or in
Shallow Water
When boarding from a dock, slowly
place one foot on the watercraft foot-
board nearest the dock and, at the
same time, transfer the body weight to
the other side in order to balance the
watercraft while holding the handlebar.
Then, bring the other foot over the seat
and put it on the other footboard. Push
the watercraft away from the dock.
In shallow water, board the watercraft
either from the side or the rear.
Ensure there is at least 90 cm (3 ft) of
water underneath the lowest rear por-
tion of the hull.
Take into account that the hull will lower
in water when all passengers are
aboard. Be certain to maintain the spec-
ified depth so sand, pebbles and rocks
will not be drawn up in the jet pump.
WARNING
Engine should be OFF when board-
ing the watercraft or when using
boarding step (
if so equipped
).
Keep limbs away from jet or intake
grate. Stay on center of the step.
Only one person at a time on the
step. Never use the step for pulling,
towing, diving or jumping, board-
ing a watercraft that is out of water
or any other purpose other than a
boarding step.

WARNING
Inexperienced riders should practice
how to get aboard (all methods ex-
plained here) close to shore first
before venturing into deep water.
WARNING
Never use jet pump components
as a supporting point to board the
watercraft.
