Capsized Watercraft

The watercraft is designed so that it
should not turn over easily. Two spon-
sons mounted on the side of the hull
assist watercraft stability. If it turns
over, it will remain capsized.
WARNING
When watercraft is capsized, do
not attempt to restart the engine.
Operator and passengers should
always wear approved personal
flotation devices.
To turn the watercraft upright, ensure
the engine is off and the tether cord
is NOT on the engine cut-off switch.
Then grab the inlet grate, step on a
side bumper rail, and use your weight
to rotate the watercraft towards you.
NOTE: A label on the stern near the
flushing connector provides instruc-
tions on how to turn the watercraft
right side up. The label is upside down
so that it can be read when the water-
craft is overturned.
