Post-operation care
WARNING
EWJ00320
Always turn the fuel cock knob to “OFF”
when storing the watercraft, otherwise
fuel could leak out into the engine or en-
gine compartment, which would 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 deterioration
of the jet pump and hull. Marine organisms
and corrosion are some of the conditions that
can shorten the life of many watercraft com-
ponents.
