Operating instructions

58
In shallow water, board the watercraft
either from the side or the rear.
Ensure there is at least 90 cm (3 ft) of
water underneath the lowest rear por-
tion of the hull.
Take into account that the hull will lower
in water when all passengers are
aboard. Be certain to maintain the spec-
ified depth so sand, pebbles and rocks
will not be drawn up in the jet pump.
CAUTION: Starting the engine or
riding the watercraft in shallower
water might damage the impeller or
other jet pump components.
