OPERATION
Reverse Operation
1. To activate
reverse, pull the
reverse lever all
the way up. The
lever will remain
in the full up
position (1).
2. Turn the
handlebars and
apply throttle carefully to maintain steering control
of the watercraft. NOTE: Engine RPM is limited
during reverse operation.
3. To return to forward operation, allow the engine to
return to idle speed, then return the reverse lever to
the forward position.
Turning the Watercraft
Turning the watercraft
requires using the throttle
(thrust from the jet pump)
and turning the
handlebars at the same
time. Do not release
the throttle when
trying to steer.
High thrust makes the watercraft turn more sharply.
Lower thrust makes the watercraft turn less sharply.
Making sharp turns at high speeds may cause the
watercraft to “spin out” and may cause rider(s) to be
ejected from the watercraft. Make gradual turns when
operating at higher speeds.
Always look behind the craft before turning to avoid
collisions.
WARNING
Activating reverse while the craft is moving
forward could cause loss of control and result in
damage to the watercraft or severe personal
injury to the operator or passenger(s). Do not
attempt to activate reverse while moving forward
above planing speed.
