EJU33127Boarding and starting in deep waterEWJ01262
Be sure the operator have practiced
boarding from the water while still close to
shore before riding. A person who has
made many unsuccessful attempts to get
back on the watercraft may become fa-
tigued and suffer from exposure, increas-
ing the risk of injury and drowning.
(1) Swim to the rear of the watercraft. Attachthe engine shut-off cord (lanyard) to your
left wrist, and then attach the clip to the
engine shut-off switch.
(2) Grip the handlebars with both hands. Pull your body up onto the riding tray and
balance there, using your elbows on the
gunwales for leverage.
(3) Look in all directions, start the engine, and then begin to accelerate. (4) Continue to pull yo
ur body up onto the
watercraft as the watercraft speed in-
creases.
(5) Bring your knees up onto the riding tray and change to a kneeling position as
soon as you can do so.
(6) Move as far forward as possible without interfering with the movement of the han-
dlebars. Keep your body perpendicular
to the water, with your weight forward
and low.
(7) Once the bow drops, and the watercraft has leveled out in the water and reached
planing speed, back off the throttle and
select your desired speed.
TIP:
The watercraft will become easier to bal-
ance as the speed increases, because jet
thrust provides stability as well as direc-
tional control.
It will take longer for a heavy operator to
reach planing speed than it will for a light
operator.

Improper uprighting can cause injury.
Be sure to shut the engine off by pulling
on the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) to
remove the clip from the engine shut-off
switch.
