WARNING

●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.

●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.

When the shift lever is moved to the reverse position, the reverse gate lowers and deflects the water jet being discharged from the jet thrust nozzle. This allows the watercraft to move in reverse.

To shift into reverse:

(1)Release the throttle lever and let the en- gine speed return to idle.

(2)Pull the shift lever rearward until it stops in the reverse position. The reverse gate

will lower and the watercraft will start moving in reverse at trolling speed.
