OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

F18J07Y

TYPICAL

1. Reverse gate in downward position

NOTE: To obtain maximum efficiency
and control from the reverse, increase
engine speed to slightly above idle.
Too much RPM will create water turbu-
lence and reduce reverse efficiency.

In reverse position, turn the handlebar
in the same direction that you want to
move the rear of the watercraft.

For example, to steer the rear of the
watercraft to the left side, turn the han-
dlebar to the left side.

WARNING

Shift lever should only be used
when the engine is idling and wa-
tercraft is completely stopped. Do
not use reverse to stop the water-
craft.

Variable Trim System

All RXP, RXT-X and WAKE Models

The

variable

trim

system

(VTS)

changes the angle of the jet pump noz-
zle to provide the operator with a fast,
effective system to compensate for
load, thrust, riding position and water
conditions. Correctly adjusted, it can
improve handling, reduce porpoising,
and position the watercraft at its best
riding attitude to attain maximum per-
formance.

When first using the watercraft, the
operator should become familiar with
the use of the variable trim system
(VTS) at varying speeds and water con-
ditions. A mid-range trim is generally
used when cruising. Experience alone
will dictate the best trim for the condi-
tions. During the watercraft break-in
period, when lower speeds are recom-
mended, it is an excellent opportunity
to gain familiarity of trim adjustment
and its effects.

When the nozzle is positioned in an
upward angle, the water thrust directs
the bow of the watercraft upward.
This position is used to optimize high
speed.

NOTE: VTS position is indicated on a
bar gauge in the information center.
