Boarding with a passenger

WARNING
Severe internal injuries can occur if
water is forced into body cavities as a
result of being near the jet thrust nozzle.
Do not apply throttle until the passenger
is seated with his or her feet on the floor
of the footwell and is holding on to the
F0X0319
operator.
1. Climb on board as noted in the previous
section, and sit astride the seat. Attach
the engine shut-off cord to your wrist,
and then install the clip to the engine
shut-off switch.
2. Have the passenger move to the rear of
the watercraft.
3. Have the passenger get on board and sit
on the seat.
NOTE:
When a passenger is getting on board, both
the passenger and the operator should try to
balance the watercraft.
4. The operator should check to see that
the passenger has his or her feet on the
floor of the footwell and that he or she is
securely holding on to the operator.
5. Start the engine, look in all directions,
and then accelerate to planing speed.
WARNING
Before starting off, make sure that there
are no boats, obstructions, or swimmers
around you.
