COOLING WATER PILOT OUTLET

This watercraft is equipped with a cool-
ingwater pilot outlet(s) at the side of hull.
Check that water comes out of the
outlet(s) while the engine is running. If
you do not see any water at the outlet(s),
cooling water may not be circulating in
the engine.
F0M023
In that case, stop the engine and check for
the cause (refer to overheat warning sys-
tem).
NOTE:
If the cooling water passages are dry it
will take about 20 seconds to reach water
at the outlet after starting the engine.

STEERING

Your water vehicle can be steered by
turning the handlebars the same direction
you wish to travel, to the right or left.
When the handlebars are turned, the
angle of the jet (output) nozzle at the stern
is changed, and the change in direction of
the nozzle changes the direction of the
F0M024
vehicle accordingly. Therefore, because
only the strength of the jet-flow output
can determine the speed and direction of
a turn, the throttle must always be
opened above idle when attempting a
turn, except at trolling speed.
