Starting The Engine - Polaris Freedom 2002 Owner's Safety And Maintenance Manual

Starting the Engine

Before operating this watercraft you should:
1. Have viewed the Watercraft Safety Video tape provided with the
watercraft (PN 9916475);
2. Have read and understand this Owner's Manual;
3. Be familiar with all controls and functions of the watercraft;
4. Have performed the pre-operation check found on page 52.
If you have any questions about the features or controls of this
watercraft consult your local Polaris dealer.
When starting the engine, be sure the watercraft is in water at
least 2 feet (60 cm) deep. If the engine is run in water less than
two feet deep, sand, weeds and debris may be sucked into the jet
intake and damage the impeller or injure bystanders. Ingestion of
sand into the cooling system will cause the engine to overheat,
resulting in possible severe engine damage.
