Control function operation
27
To adjust the handlebar position:
(1) Pull the tilt lever up to disengage the han-dlebar lock, and then move the handle-
bars back or forth to the desired position.
WARNING! Never pull the tilt lever dur- ing operation, otherwise the handle-
bars may suddenly change position,
which may lead to an accident.
[EWJ00042]
(2) Make sure that the tilt lever returns to its original position and that the handlebars
are securely locked in place.
EJU35975Cooling water pilot outlet
When the engine is running, some of the
cooling water that is circulated in the engine
is discharged from the cooling water pilot
outlet.
There is a cooling water pilot outlet on the
port (left) side of the watercraft. To check for
proper operation of the cooling system, make
sure that water is being discharged from the
cooling water pilot outlet. If water is not being
discharged from the outlet, stop the engine
and check the jet intake for clogging. (See
page 120 for information on the jet intake.)
TIP
It will take about 60 seconds for the water
to reach the outlet after the engine is start-
ed.
Water discharge may not be constant
when the engine is running at idling speed.

EJU37148
Post-operation careEWJ00332
Always place the watercraft upright in a
horizontal position when storing it, other-
wise fuel could leak out into the engine or
engine compartment, which could create
a fire hazard.
After using the watercraft, always take it out
of the water, clean it, and store it. Leaving the
watercraft in the water for extended periods
will accelerate the rate of normal deteriora-
tion of the jet pump and hull. Marine organ-
isms and corrosion are some of the
conditions that can shorten the life of many
watercraft components.
EJU42222Flushing the cooling water passagesECJ01311
Do not run the engine over 4000 r/min on
land. Also, do not run the engine for more
than 15 seconds without supplying water,
otherwise the engine could overheat.
Flush the cooling water passages to prevent
them from clogging with salt, sand, or dirt.
(1) Place the watercraft in a horizontal posi-tion.
(2) Remove the seats and removable water- tight storage compartment. (See page 69
for seat removal and installation proce-
dures and page 74 for information on the
removable watertight storage compart-
ment.)
(3) Open the stern storage compartment. (See page 73 for information on the stern
storage compartment.)
(4) Connect the garden hose adapter to a garden hose. (5) Loosen the flushing hose connector cap
and remove it. Insert the garden hose
adapter into the flushing hose connector
by pushing and twisting it until it is se-
curely connected.
(6) Connect the garden hose to a water tap.
(7) Make sure that the area around the wa- tercraft is clear, and then start the en-
gine. Immediately after the engine starts,
fully turn the water supply on so that wa-
ter flows out continually from the jet
thrust nozzle.

(8) Run the engine at idling speed for about3 minutes watching the engine condition.
If the engine stops while flushing, turn
the water supply off immediately and
perform the procedure again from step 7.
NOTICE: Do not supply water to the
cooling water passages when the en-
gine is not running. The water could
flow back through the muffler into the
engine, causing severe engine dam-
age.
[ECJ00123]
(9) Turn the water supply off.
(10) Discharge the remaining water out of the cooling water passages by alternately
squeezing and releasing the throttle lever
quickly for 10 to 15 seconds.
(11) Stop the engine.
(12) Remove the garden hose adapter, and then securely install the flushing hose
connector cap by tightening it until it
stops.
(13) Securely close the stern storage com- partment.
(14) Securely install the removable watertight storage compartment and seats in their
original positions.
EJU33736Cleaning the watercraft
(1) Remove the seats. (See page 69 for seatremoval and installation procedures.) (2) Rinse the engine and engine compart-
ment with a small amount of water.
NOTICE: Do not use high-pressure
water when rinsing the engine or en-
gine compartment as severe engine
damage could result.
[ECJ00572]
(3) Drain the water from the engine com- partment. (See page 81 for information
on draining the bilge water.)
(4) Wipe the engine and engine compart- ment with a dry cloth.
(5) Wash down the hull, deck, and jet pump with fresh water.
(6) Wipe the hull, deck, and jet pump with a dry cloth.
(7) Wipe all vinyl and rubber components, such as the seats and engine compart-
ment seals, with a vinyl protectant.
(8) To minimize corrosion, spray metallic parts of the hull, deck, and engine with a
rust inhibitor.
(9) Allow the engine compartment to air dry completely before installing the seats.
(10) Securely install the seats in their original positions.
EJU3368DBattery care
