Launching the watercraft

When launching the watercraft, make sure
that there are no obstacles around you.
After the watercraft is in the water, turn it
around so that the bow faces the direction you
wish to go. Start the engine, and then slowly
move away from the launching area. If there
are waves, someone should make sure that
the watercraft is not pushed into the trailer af-
ter launching the watercraft.

WARNING
Never start the engine or let it run for any
length of time in an enclosed area. Ex-
haust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a
colorless, odorless gas that may cause
loss of consciousness and death within a
short time. Always operate the watercraft
in an open area.
NOTE:
If the watercraft has been sitting for a while,
remove the fuel tank filler cap to release any
built-up pressure in the fuel tank due to fuel
expansion, and then install the filler cap be-
fore starting the engine.
(1) Launch the watercraft in water free from
weeds and debris and at least 60 cm (2 ft)
deep.
