5 Characteristics and use of your boat
5.1 General
This user manual is not meant to be a complete service or repair manual, but to guide the user in using his/her boat
in a proper way.
5.2 Basic data
Recreational crafts can be constructed according to 4 categories (A, B, C and D) according to recreational craft
directive 94/25/EC. This boat has been constructed according to design category C, which denotes the following:
The boat is built for conditions where the wind reaches a maximum of 6 Beaufort (approx. 14 m/s) and
corresponding seas (significant wave height at most 2 meters). Such conditions may be encountered on exposed
Inland waters, in estuaries, and in coastal waters in moderate weather conditions.
Significant wave height is the mean height of the highest third of the waves, which approximately corresponds to
the wave height as estimated by an experienced observer. Individual waves may reach up to twice this height. If
the significant wave height is 2.0 m, the mean height of all waves is roughly 1.2 m.
Maximum recommended load: See technical specification.
Please also refer to section 5.4, ”Loading”.
Main dimensions and capacities: See technical specification.
Craft length, width, draught, total weight etc., as well as tank capacities are shown in the technical specifications.

5.3 Maximum recommended number of passengers
The boat's maximum recommended number of passengers isthree persons.
WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum recommended number ofpassengers. Regardless of the number of
passengers, the total weight of people and equipment must never exceed the maximum recommended load (please
refer to “Loading”). All persons on board must remain seated while the boat is moving.
5.4 Loading
The boat's maximum permitted load is 240 kg. This load includes the following weights:
a) The total weight of passengers 225 kg (the default weight of an adult is assumed to be 75 kg and that of a child

NOTE! The maximum load only includes the above-mentioned weight components.
WARNING! Never exceed the maximum recommended load when loadingthe craft. Always load the craft carefully
and distribute loads appropriately so that the boat is on an even keel. Always avoid placing heavy items high up.
5.5 Prevention of water incursion and stability
5.5.1 Hull and deck through fittings
The boat has a rainwater draining system, which means that rainwater is drained from theundecked part of the
boat when the boat is on the water. The system also functions whenthe boat is out of water, provided that the bow
is higher than the stern.
NOTE! Make sure that water can flow unobstructed through thedrainpipe. Debris like autumn leaves may obstruct
the water flow, which can cause the boat to fill with water and sink.
NOTE! There is always some amount of condensed water in the bilge. Asmall amount of water may also come
through the hull bushings, especially as the boat ages. Always remember to check the bilge, before you leave the
boat at quay or buoy and always before setting off.
WARNING! The boat's handling properties may become extremely dangerousif there is water in the bilge.
12

5.5.2 Stability and buoyancy
Please note that the boat's stability is reduced by any weight added high up on the boat. Any change in the
distribution of weight on board may significantly affect the stability, trim andperformance of your craft. Please
remember that large breaking waves always present a serious danger to stability.
The amount of water in the bilge must be kept as low as possible.
The boat's stability may be impaired during towing, or when passengers are lifting heavy items.
The boat will carry its passengers also when filled with water.
5.6 Avoiding the risk of fire or explosion
5.6.1 Refuelling
Shut off the engine and extinguish any cigarettes before starting to refuel. During refuelling do not use switches or
appliances that can cause a spark.
Do not stow any loose items under the seat that, if moved, could prevent fuel flow to the engine. This is particularly
important for items that may press against hoses or the fuel filter.
Check annually that the fuel hoses are not worn, especially at lead-ins.
Please note that depending on the trim of the boat or the boat's heeling angle, it might not be possible to use the
full capacity of the tank.
WARNING! Gasified fuel is highly explosive. Observe these instructions and the utmost caution during refuelling.
The smell of fuel always means that there is gasified fuel on your boat
Remember:
Never make changes to any of the boat’s systems (especially the electricity or the fuel systems) or allow an
unqualified person to make changes to any of the boat’s systems.
Never smoke while handling petrol or gas.
NOTE! Always keep the bilge clean and regularly check for possible fuel leaks.

6. Operating Your Tender
This boat uses a water-jet propulsion system and has unique characteristics in steering. The throttle produces thrust
from the jet pump, the directional control is provided by opening the throttle and turning the joystick in the
direction of your turn. High thrust will turn the boat sharply; low thrust will produce less turning force. There is no
rudder, so while underway there is no steering without thrust.
If weed or debris gets caught in the jet unit during use cavitation can occur causing a decrease in forward thrust. If
this condition is allowed to continue the engine may overheat resulting in serious damage. If there is any sign of
debris or weeds etc. blocking the jet, remove the boat from the water.
Remouve kill switch and remove all debris from around the jet unit. DO NOT make repeated attempts to start a
blocked or jammed tender as engine damage may result. In case of difficulty consult your AXA authorized dealer.
Recovery
CAUTION. Do not attempt to lift or recover the tender by the transom. Any stern-up angle will cause water
to enter the engine from exhaust system and will result in serious engine damage.
Mooring
CAUTION. Do not leave the JetTENDER moored for extended periods as this may result in an accumulation
of marine growth and a loss of performance.
Beaching
CAUTION. DO NOT operate in less than 0.6m/2ft of water as debris may enter the jet unit. DO NOT drive
JetTENDER onto beach. Stop engine before beaching as damage to pump/engine cooling may occur.
After beaching, move boat into deeper water and rock from side to side several times to remove sand from intake
area –failure to do so could cause damage to jet unit.
Trim
CAUTION. Do not overload the boat. At all speeds be aware of trim and keep weight evenly distributed.
General
CAUTION. Operate the boat with due care and at a speed appropriate to the sea conditions. Be aware of
local laws and restrictions. Always carry out a visual check of the boat and its components prior to use.
Adhere to the maintenance schedule.
WARNING. Manoeuvrability is restricted while decelerating. Familiarize yourself with the boat’s handling.
New Engine Break-in Period
Aquanami recommends that during the first five hours of operation, you should not operate the engine over 5,000
RPM. This protective running-in has a positive effect on the engine‘s lifespan.
15

6.1 Fuelling
•As part of its pre-delivery inspection your new JetTENDER has been fully tested and drained of fuel.
•Ensure kill switch is remouved.
•Open back storage compartment to expose filler cap.
•Re-fuel in a ventilated area.
•Do not overfill the tank; be careful not to spill fuel.
•Tighten fuel cap securely after re-fuelling.
•Open engine hatch and inspect bilges after re-fuelling.
Do NOT hose around the fuel filler area as water may enter the fuel tank.
IMPORTANT! Do not use fuel from fuel pumps labeled E85.
Use of fuel labeled E15 is prohibited by U.S EPA Regulations.
Fuel containing Ethanol can result in problems in the fuel system and engine, resulting in:
•Starting and operating difficulties.
•Deterioration of rubber or plastic parts.
•Corrosion of metal parts.
•Damage to internal engine parts.
6.2 Before Use
Tube pressure will fluctuate with temperature. Inflate tubes in sequence to 250mB/3.6psi. Failure to observe this
will compromise the sea-keeping ability and watertight integrity of the boat. Inflation valves are fitted with quarter-
turn locks to enable rapid deflation.
CAUTION. Tubes must be inflated in the correct sequence to prevent over-inflation.
•Set valves to shut and inflate tubes evenly
•Check bilge for fuel or water contamination.
•Tighten drain plugs.
•Check engine cover latches are secure
6.3 Safety Check!
WARNING. ALWAYS attach yourself to the safety lanyard when engine is running. Before setting off as a
precautionary measure always test lanyard for its functionality by pulling away from its seating –engine
should always stop.
WARNING. NEVER investigate engine bay with engine running or ignition on.
16

6.4 Starting Your JetTENDER
Ensure boat is in a depth of at least 0.6m/2ft of water.
Secure any loose ropes that could get sucked into jet unit.
Connect safety lanyard to switch.
WARNING. Personal injury may result if not attached.
Press START button until engine starts.
Test safety lanyard for correct functionality (see Safety Check!).
6.5 SAFETY LANYARD:
Always disconnect safety lanyard when watercraft is not in operation in order to prevent accidental engine starting
or to avoid unauthorized use by children or others or theft.
NOTE: Leaving the safety lanyard on its post when engine is not running will slowly discharge the battery.
6.6 Oil Level Check
The engine must be at operating temperature before an accurate level is indicated on the dipstick.
The oil level should be between MIN and MAX on the dipstick. Do not screw in cap to check level. Use the correct
grade of oil –recommended 20W40 fully synthetic.
Do not overfill
•The engine has 2 liter oil reservoir. However, your engine may already have some oil left over from the
factory testing. Adds oil slowly and use the oil level stick to check the oil level. Use a tower to wipe the stick
for better reading.
•Air may be trapped inside the hose and engine chamber. Please run the engine for 15 seconds and stop
engine, check the engine oil level again. To make sure you engine has right amount oil.
•Check the engine oil level each time before you use your boat. The engine oil evaporates fast because the
engine is running at high RPM all the time
ATTENTION:
•The engine will be burned and permanently damaged if the right engine oil level is not maintained
6.7 ENGINE COOLANT :
•Check engine coolant each time before use. Make sure the engine coolant is full.
•The engine coolant evaporates fast because the engine is running at high RPM all the time.
ATTENTION:
•The engine will be burned and permanently damaged if the engine coolant is not filled fully.
6.8 DRY ENGINE COMPARTMENT:
•During over-night and storage time, leave engine compartment cover open to prevent moisture
condensation and keep engine compartment dry.

After Use: Flushing Procedure
To prolong engine life it is very important to flush engine of salt water after use and prior to storage. Failure to carry
out flushing will significantly reduce the life of engine components and may invalidate warranty. DO NOT operate
throttle out of water.
In addition it is advised to thoroughly wash with fresh water around the jet pump area to remove all salt deposits
after use.
CAUTION. Engine MUST be running before water is connected. Risk of engine flooding exists if water remains
on after engine is switched off.
1. Connect a fresh water hose fitted with the male connector supplied with the tender to the flushing attachment
coupling fitted to the tender. Press outer ring to engage and release adaptor.
2. Start engine and immediately turn on water supply.
3. Run engine at idle for approximately 1 minute to completely flush the open loop cooling system.
4. Turn off water supply.
5. Allow the engine to run for no longer than 10 seconds to allow water to exit from the cooling system, then turn off
the engine. Remove hose connector from flushing attachment.
6. Check bilge of boat and dry any residual water.
