CAUTION:@ Always avoid operating your watercraft in
areas where weed growth is thick. If trav-
eling in weeded areas is unavoidable,
operate the engine alternately at partial
throttle and full throttle. Weeds tend to
accumulate more at a steady speed and
at trolling speed. If weeds clog the intake
or impeller area and cause cavitation, fol-
low the cleaning procedure above.

Jumping the battery
If the watercraft battery has run down, the
engine can be started using a 12-volt bat-
tery and jumper cables.
WARNING@ Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dan-
