gine. Any wrong connection could dam-
age the electrical system.
(4) Start the engine, and then disconnect the
jumper cables by reversing the steps
above.
CAUTION:
ECJ00480

Never push the start switch while the en-
gine is running.

Do not operate the start switch for more
than 5 seconds, otherwise the battery
will be discharged and the engine will
not start. Also, the starter motor could
be damaged. If the engine does not start
in 5 seconds, release the start switch,
wait 15 seconds, and then try again.
EJU34670Replacing the fuse
The fuse is located in the electrical box.
To replace the fuse:
(1) Remove the cap, and then pull out the
red lead to pull out the fuse holder from
the electrical box.
(2) Open the fuse holder and replace the
fuse with one of the correct amperage.
WARNING
EWJ00800
Do not use fuses of higher amperage than
recommended. Substitution with a fuse
that has an improper rating can cause ex-
tensive electrical system damage and pos-
sible fire.
EJU34701Towing the watercraft
If the watercraft becomes inoperative in the
water, it can be towed to shore.
If the watercraft must be towed in an emer-
gency using a towline, the operator should
ride the watercraft, holding onto the handle-
bars and supporting his or her body weight on
the riding tray. This will help keep the bow of
the watercraft out of the water.
WARNING
EWJ00810

The watercraft should only be towed in
an emergency.

The towline should be long enough so
that the watercraft will not collide with
the towing boat when slowing down. A
good rule of thumb is a towline that is
three times the combined length of the
towing boat and the watercraft.

The operator of the towing boat must
keep speed to a minimum and avoid traf-
fic or obstacles which could be a hazard
to the rider on the watercraft.
CAUTION:
ECJ00710

Tow the watercraft at 5 mph (8 km/h) or
less, otherwise water could enter the en-
gine through the exhaust passages or
through the air intake and flood the en-
gine compartment if it is towed too fast.
