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.
A. 90 cm (3 ft)
In shallow water, board the watercraft
either from the side or the rear.
Boarding in Deep Water
Operator Alone
Swim to the rear of the watercraft.
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.
