Features and functions
When the engine is running, cooling water is
circulated in the engine, and then it is dis-
charged from the pilot outlet.
To check for proper operation of the cooling
system, check that water is being discharged
from the pilot outlet. If water is not being dis-
charged from the outlet, cooling water may
not be circulating in the engine. When this oc-
curs, stop the engine and check for the cause.
(See pages 22 and 63 for more information.)
TIP:
If the cooling water passages are dry, it will
G
take about 20 seconds for the water to
reach the outlet after the engine is started.
Water discharge may not be constant at
G
idle, therefore, open the throttle a little to
check that water discharges properly.

Steering system

Your watercraft can be steered by turning the
handlebars in the direction you wish to travel.
1 Handlebar
2 Jet thrust nozzle
When the handlebars are turned, the angle of
the jet thrust nozzle is changed, and the direc-
tion of the watercraft is changed accordingly.
Since the strength of the jet thrust determines
the speed and degree of a turn, throttle must
always be applied when attempting a turn, ex-
cept at trolling speed.
The angle of the jet thrust nozzle can be ad-
justed to suit operator preference. (See page
53 for adjustment procedures.)
