Engine Starting Procedure
Preparation
Before unloading the watercraft from
the trailer, it can be started for about
10 seconds to verify proper operation.
Components inside the engine
compartment may be hot. Keep
away from electrical parts or jet
pump area when engine is run-
ning.
Attach the safety lanyard to your PFD
and snap the cap to its post before
starting the engine.
NOTE: If you hear anything other than
2 short beeps from DESS system, it
indicates a particular condition that
should be corrected. Refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING section for the
meaning of the coded signal.
Before starting the engine, the op-
erator should always be properly
seated or have a stable stance in
the "vert" configuration.
Firmly grip the handlebar with your
hands and properly place both feet on
the floorboard. In the "vert" configu-
ration, keep both feet spread apart to
achieve a stable stance.
CAUTION: Ensure there is at least
90 cm (3 ft) of water underneath the
lowest rear portion of the hull when
you are onboard prior to starting
the engine. Otherwise damage to
the impeller or other jet pump com-
ponents might occur. Do not accel-
erate abruptly.
To start engine, depress and hold the
engine start/stop button. Follow the
procedure below for cold or warm en-
gine starting.
