Reverse Operation

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.

1.To activate reverse, pull the reverse lever all the way up. The lever will remain

in the full up

1

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.

OPERATION

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.
