OPERATION
How The Jet Drive Operates (Continued)
The jet drive is always drawing water into the housing when the engine is running.
DO NOT operate the jet drive with the grate removed from the water intake. Keep
your hands, feet, hair, loose clothing, life jackets, etc. away from the water intake.
Never insert an object into the water intake or water outlet nozzle when the engine
is running.
WARNING
Avoid injury resulting from contacting the rotating impeller or having your
hair, clothing, or loose objects drawn into the water intake and wrapping
around the impeller. Stay away from the water intake and never insert an
object into the water intake or water outlet nozzle when the engine is running.

Stopping The Boat In An Emergency
Your jet powered boat has emergency stopping capability unique to this form of
propulsion.
In an emergency, shifting the jet drive into reverse and applying reverse throttle can
rapidly slow down your boat and reduce the stopping distance. Keep in mind,
however, that such a maneuver may cause occupants in the boat to be thrown
forward or even out of the boat.
WARNING
Using the emergency stopping capability of your jet drive will slow down
your boat in an emergency. However, keep in mind, sudden stopping may
cause the occupants in the boat to be thrown forward or even out of the boat.
This action may result in serious injury or death.
