JET BOATS SAFETY / IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Jet Boat Safety
WARNING
An ABJET® may perform differently to other boats you may
have ridden in the past. Take time to familiarize yourself with
your new boat.
Always keep in mind that as the throttle lever is returned to
the idle position, less directional control is available. To turn
the jet boat, both steering and throttle are necessary.
•Boats in general have no brake. Stopping distance will vary
depending on initial speed, load, wind, and water conditions.
Practice stopping and docking in a safe, traffic-free area to get
a sense of how long it will take to stop the boat under varying
conditions.
•
Do not release the throttle when trying to steer away from
objects. You need throttle to steer.
•Do not use the reverse to stop.
•In shallow waters, proceed with caution and at very low
speeds. Grounding or abrupt stops may result in injury to
you, your passengers or others. The jet pump may pick up
debris and throw it forward causing a risk of injuring people
or damaging the jet pump or other property.
•Do not add accessories or equipment that may adversely
affect visibility or alter control of the boat.
•Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO), which can
cause injury or death if inhaled in sufficient quantities.
Educate all occupants about the risks and symptoms of CO
accumulation and CO poisoning.
•
If, at any time, gasoline leaks/odors are found, do not start
the engine.
Identification Number
Safeguard the information about your boat by recording the
hull identification number (HIN). The HIN is located on the
upper starboard corner of the transom. The HIN must be
clearly visible at all times and must not be removed, altered or
tampered with in any way. The identification number is very
important! Keep a copy of this number stored in a safe place
off the boat in case of theft, damage, warranty claims, etc.,
report this number to the local authorities, your insurance
agent and your dealer.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Hull
The bottom of the ABJET® is made out of fiberglass, providing
you with unsurpassable seaworthiness. These boats are
equipped with a marine grade aluminum fuel tank.
CAUTION
Do not drill holes or screw objects in the deck or transom without
sealing the holes. Failure to do so will result in water penetration
and eventually will cause delamination.
WARNING
Do not drill holes in the deck deeper than 1,27 cms (½”).
Otherwise, the tank will be perforated. Trapped gases in the tank
could explode and fuel leaks could occur, which if ignited, may
cause serious injury or death.
The Tube
The buoyancy chamber or tube is “U” shaped with rounded
airtight cones in the same material, ensuring complete safety
and seaworthiness. The ABJET® uses large tubes to increase
payload capabilities and to offer a dry ride. In addition, each
tube is sized proportionately to the boat hull dimensions
which maximizes the internal space.
Inflating Instructions
The inflating system includes the inflation valves and a hand
pump with its valve connector.
The inflation valves:
The inflation valves are plastic and, therefore, non-corrosive
and double sealed for safety. The valve is divided into two
pieces -
one is located on the inner side of the buoyancy chamber and
the other is screwed to the afore. This last piece is
composed of a one-way check valve, a diaphragm and a cap.
This screw-on system enables you to remove and replace a
damaged valve easily.
To Inflate:
Push the end of the bellows hose with the correct valve
connector into place on the valve as far as possible and turn
clockwise until the valve connector locks in place. Compress the
hand pump gently and unhurriedly. When inflated, screw the
plastic cap onto the valve until it is fully seated.
WARNING
Never use a gasoline service station or
a
high compression pump to inflate your
boat. They could damage the buoyancy
collar.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Air tightness is obtained partly by means of the plunger one-
way check valve that is set at the base of the valve insert;
complete air tightness is ensured by properly fitting the valve
cap. Before screwing on the cap, check that the valve is clean,
free from sand, weeds or other debris.
To Deflate:
Remove the cap. Push down the spring-loaded plunger in
the center of the valve. To deflate completely, you may
want to lock the plunger down.
The Hand Pump also called Cylindrical Pump:
To inflate the ABJET® boat, plug the valve connector to the
valve. Put it in an upright position and step onto the tongues
located at the bottom of the pump. The hand pump is double
action. Each time you lift and push the handle, 4lts (1 gallon) of
air will enter into the buoyancy chambers. The hand pump
comes with two connectors, one for inflation and the other for
deflation.
The Buoyancy Chambers:
Depending on the model you have chosen, you will have three
or more air chambers. Each chamber is divided by a special
baffle system that keeps the multiple air chambers
completely sealed off from one another, while working to
equalize air pressure between compartments. It is advisable
to inflate your boat properly and check the pressure
frequently. The pressure should be maintained at 0,2 bar (3
Psi) in the buoyancy chambers. (A pressure gauge is not
included with the boat).
A good rule of thumb is: When you cannot deflate the tube
more than 1 cm (3/8”) with the pressure of your finger, you
have then reached the approximate working pressure.
Important:
The correct way to inflate the air chambers is by inflating the
rear chambers first, and then those towards the bow. When
the inflatable buoyancy chambers have been inflated, screw
the cap on the valve properly in order to secure final air
tightness. The buoyancy tubes must be inflated to the
recommended pressure.
NOTICE
The pressure of the boat fluctuates with changes in
temperature.
Pressure increases after prolonged exposure to sun and falls
when the boat is launched and when in darkness. Do not worry
about this.
We have seen experienced people send boats for repair which
were previously in excellent condition due to temperature
fluctuation.
WARNING
Care should be taken not to allow a boat which has been fully
inflated in the cool of the morning to stand in direct sunlight.
Buoyancy pressure will quickly rise with the temperature and
could strain or cause serious damage to the buoyancy tube.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SEATING ARRANGEMENT / HULL & DECK DRAIN SYSTEM / FUELING AND FUEL SYSTEM
Seating arrangement
Please find all information related to Seating Arrangements
in the Download section at AB Inflatables website:
www.abinflatables.com
Hull & Deck Drain System
Most ABJET®s have a self-bailing deck system which allows
water to flow from the deck to the transom by the action of
gravity; each drain line has a non-return valve to restrict water
to enter the deck when floatation line surpasses the deck level.
Note: If you leave the ABJET® on davits or store it out of
the water, remove the hull drain plug on the transom so
water can drain.
CAUTION
Before launching the boat, make sure that plugs are
secured into the hull drains.
Fueling and Fuel System
All ABJET® boats have a fuel tank installed underneath the
deck. The ABJET® has been designed to allow inspection for
all fuel system components. The system has an electrical
pump located inside the fuel tank, which must not be
removed unless strictly necessary and only by an AB
authorized
service center.
Fuel lines, vent hoses and drain hoses should be checked
frequently for leaks. If leaking occurs, inspect the fuel
system connections. If they are too tight or too loose they
may leak. If upon tightening or loosening the connection the
leak persists, replace the hose. If the hose presents surface
cracking or if it is dry or mushy, replace immediately.
NOTICE
•Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline is spilled, use dry rags or
sponges to soak up the fuel and dispose of them properly onshore.
Discharging fuel or oily waste in navigable waters is prohibited. Help
protect our waters.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FUELING AND FUEL SYSTEM / GENERAL SYSTEM ARRANGEMENT / ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OPERATION
•Do not fill tank to capacity. Allow for fuel expansion.
•Do not drill holes in the deck deeper than 1.27 cm (1/2"). Otherwise the fuel
tank will be perforated. Fuel leaks could occur, which if ignited may cause
serious injury or death.
DANGER
•When operating, occupants MUST AVOID standing up or sitting with
their feet hanging over the gunwale.
•Leaking fuel is a fire and explosion hazard. Inspect fuel system
regularly.
WARNING
Fuel is flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the vicinity.
General System Arrangement
The following equipment description includes only the
elements which are installed at the factory as standard
equipment. For any additional information please contact
your local dealer. Each system and its equipment have been
carefully selected and designed to comply with the
requirements set by the ABYC and ISO standards. Also, this
equipment is certified for marine use, which guarantees
durability under the conditions of humidity and salinity of the
marine environment.
Electrical System Operation
The ABJET® is equipped with a 12-volt direct current
electrical system. The positive (+) red large gauge cable is
connected between the (+) battery terminal and the battery
switch. The negative (-) yellow large gauge cable is
connected to a common post ground, where all negative

WARNING
INSPECT SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OPERATION / STANDARD EQUIPMENT
Breakers
Each of the electrical circuits that feed a certain load are
protected by automatic breakers. These are usually placed
at the switchboard on the console, above the switches of the
circuits it protects. If an overcurrent event happens, the
breaker will act and it will open the circuit to avoid damage
to the wires.
Fuses
The fuses are installed to protect the general circuits (Panel
feed wire/circuit). When an overall damage occurs, the fuse
will burn out and protect the circuit.
NOTICE
See the troubleshooting chart.
Standard Equipment
Boats are delivered with a basic electrical installation.
The standard equipment may vary according to the ABJET®
model acquired.
Bilge Pump
The bilge pump is installed on a flat base located inside the
engine compartment. The function of this device is to
evacuate the water that falls in due to waves, rain or
extreme weather conditions. The owner/user should
remember that ABJET® has a self-bailing deck and rubber
sealed engine compartment. The bilge pump has a dual
operation start system, both automatic and manual. The
pump has the possibility of a remote start by using the manual
switch “BILGE PUMP” installed on the switch board located
on the console. To protect the ABJET® from weather
conditions, this equipment will work even when the “BILGE
PUMP” switch is off; this is possible because the pump is
connected directly to the battery. Thus, the automatic float
system will work even if the user is not there to assist the
evacuation of water. If the bilge pump remains turned on
(continuously working), you must check for any leakage
through the hull or the drain hoses; also check if the
automatic floating switch is stuck.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
STANDARD EQUIPMENT
LED Navigation and Anchor Lights
Standard equipment on all ABJET® tenders includes the
navigation (red/green) light and the anchor (white) light
which work with the NAV/ANC Switch located on the
console switchboard. These lights should be turned on
during the operation of the boat at night. When the boat is
moving, the driver should turn both on, navigation and
anchor light; this is done by pressing the switch to the up
position. When the boat is anchored, the boater should only
turn on the position light by pressing the switch to the low
position. Both lights will be off in the central switch position.
The anchor light consists of a foldable pole with a LED light at
its end. In some models, the navigation (red/green) light is a
small non-foldable pole. To make the lights work, install the
navigation light pole into the plug-in base located at the
bow and the anchor light to the plug-in base behind the rear
seat. Insert the pole matching the pin male orientation to the
plug-in base with the female holes of the pole. The boat
comes with three (3) or four (4) storage clips (depending on the
model) located in the engine compartment, where the pole
lights can be kept while not in use.
Battery Switch
The two-position ON/OFF battery switch is the main ignition
control unit for the boat energy. Through this device the
energy from the battery is transferred to the electrical
systems. When the battery switch is placed in the OFF
position, any device except the bilge pump is de-energized.
The engine, electronic indicators, lights and other
accessories or equipment will operate when the battery
switch is in the ON position. Use the battery switch in the OFF
position in case of fire incidents to cut off the power supply
when an overcurrent event happens and to prevent battery
discharge while the boat is not in use.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
STANDARD EQUIPMENT
Blower
The blower (exhaust fan) is a device installed to draw out the
combustion gases that accumulate in the engine
compartment. This device must be activated prior to starting
the engine in order to avoid accumulation of gases in the
engine compartment. You must run the blower for four (4)
minutes before starting the engine.
Under platform sliding SS Ladder
Folded below the swimming platform for easy stowing, the
convenient Sliding SS Ladder helps you to access the boat from
the water easily and safely.
Automatic Fire Extinguisher Device
This boat is equipped with an automatic fire suppression unit
that contains a highly effective and technologically advanced
fire suppression agent with unique operational characteristics.
This agent has the flow attributes of a gas and has been
determined to be non-toxic to humans when exposed for short
