OPERATION Pre-Operation Inspection Loose Parts Inspect the watercraft for any loose nuts, bolts, fasteners and hoses. Be sure that all hose clamps are tight. Replace cracked or deteriorating hoses. Seat To access the engine/storage compartment, disengage the rear seat latch (1). Always remove the seat and ventilate the engine compartment before starting the engine. Be sure all seats are properly positioned and secure before operating the watercraft. NOTE: The seat is not a personal flotation device (PFD) and will not provide life-saving flotation. Always wear a PFD when operating or riding a watercraft.
Fire Extinguisher The operator of the watercraft is required by law to carry a fire extinguisher on board. Always keep a fully charged and working fire extinguisher inside the fire extinguisher holder, which is located inside the storage area under the front compartment door. A fire extinguisher is not standard equipment with this watercraft. Contact your Polaris dealer or a fire extinguisher dealer to purchase a U.S. Coast Guard-approved fire extinguisher with a UL 5-B:C rating. 1 45
