Boarding alone

1. Swim to the rear of the watercraft and
place both hands on the boarding plat-
form, pull yourself up, and then grasp the
handgrip with one hand.
2. Pull yourself up to a kneeling position on
the platform, and then move to the seat
and sit astride.
3. Attach the engine shut-off cord to your
left wrist, and then install the clip to the
engine shut-off switch.
4. Grip the handlebars firmly with both
hands, place both feet on the floor of the
footwell, start the engine, and then look
in all directions before starting off.
NOTE:

If your watercraft is equipped with the
reboarding step (for FX Cruiser High Output),
you can lower the step to make reboarding
easier. The step returns automatically to the
up position after you have boarded.
