FEATURES & FUNCTIONS 2
TILT LEVER
WARNING
•Never touch the tilt lever during operation, otherwise the steer- ing wheel could suddenly change position, which may lead to an accident.
•Be sure the steering wheel is locked in position after adjust- ment. If the steering wheel is not locked in position, it may suddenly change position during operation, which may lead to an accident.
①Steering wheel
Your boat can be steered by turning the steering wheel the same direction you wish to travel, to the right or left. When the wheel is turned, the angle of the jet (output) nozzles at the rear of the craft is changed, and the change in direction of the nozzles changes the direction of the boat accordingly. Since the strength of the jet thrust determines the speed and direction of a turn, the throttle must always be opened above idle when attempting a turn, except at trolling speed.
Because boats steer from the stern (rear), the stern of the boat swings out in the opposite direction of your turn. If you turn to the starboard (right), for example, the stern of the boat will swing to the left. Keep this in mind when navigating near a person in the water, such as a down skier, or an obstacle, such as a dock.

The tilt lever ① is located under the steering wheel and is used to adjust the tilt of the steering wheel. There are three positions.
To adjust the tilt, pull the lever up, and then move the steering wheel up or down to the desired position. The lever will lock into place when the wheel is moved into one of the three available positions.
