WARNING

●Do not release the throttle lever when trying to steer away from objects—you need throttle to steer. A collision could result in severe injury or death.

●When operating at higher speeds, make gradual turns or slow down before turn- ing. Sharp high-speed turns may cause the watercraft to slide sideways or spin, throwing the operator overboard, which could cause an injury.

Steering control depends on the combination of handlebar position and the amount of throt- tle.

Water sucked in through the intake grate is pressurized by the impeller in the jet pump. As the pressurized water is expelled from the pump through the jet thrust nozzle, it creates thrust to move and steer the watercraft. The higher the engine speed, the more thrust pro- duced.

The amount of jet thrust, in addition to the position of the handlebars, determines how sharply you turn.
