Shift lever and reverse gate

Check for proper operation of the shift lever and reverse gate.

Make sure that the reverse gate goes down to its stopper position when the shift lever is pulled up.

Also, make sure that the reverse gate goes up to its stopper position when shift lever is pushed down.

WARNING

Make sure that the throttle is com- pletely released and that the engine is at idle before shifting into reverse.

Do not use the reverse function to slow down or stop the watercraft as it could cause you to lose control, be ejected, or impact the handlebars.

Use reverse for slow-speed maneuver- ing only.

Make sure that there are no obstacles or people behind you before shifting into reverse.

Do not touch the reverse gate while the shift lever is being operated, otherwise you could be pinched.
