Table of Contents OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING Stopping distance will vary de- pending on initial speed, load, wind, number of riders, water con- ditions, and the amount of braking power commanded by the oper- ator. Always adjust your riding style accordingly. When the watercraft slows to less than 8 km/h (5 MPH), braking mode ends and reverse mode is engaged. Release the iBR lever once the water- craft is stopped. Otherwise, a rear- ward movement will be initiated. CAUTION As the watercraft slows to a stop, the wake created by the watercraft will catch up and tend to push the watercraft forward. Ensure there are no obstacles or bathers in the direction of travel. If the throttle lever is still pulled in when releasing the iBR lever, the wa- tercraft will accelerate forward after a short delay. Acceleration will be pro- portional to the throttle lever position. WARNING If forward acceleration is not de- sired when the brake lever is re- leased, release the throttle lever. When at speed and the brake is first applied, a plume of water will shoot up in the air behind the watercraft which may cause the operator of a following watercraft to momentarily loose sight of your PWC. ______________ 82 WARNING – It is important to inform the operator of a watercraft who intends to follow in a convoy formation, of the braking and maneuvering capability of your PWC, what the plume of water indicates, and that a greater dis- tance must be maintained be- tween watercraft. – Be aware that other boats fol- lowing or operating in close proximity may not be able to stop as quickly. Braking in a Turn Throttle must be applied for turning to ensure directional control. However braking can be initiated during a turn using the iBR lever as previously de- scribed. Get ready to maintain your balance while the wake is crossing your PWC. CAUTION As the watercraft slows to a stop while braking in a turn, the wake created by the water- craft will catch up and tend to push the watercraft sideways. Be pre- pared to maintain balance as the wake crossed the watercraft. How to Use the Variable Trim System (VTS) The variable changes the vertical position of the jet pump nozzle to provide the operator with a fast, effective system to com- pensate for load, thrust, riding position and water conditions. Correctly ad- justed, it can improve handling, reduce porpoising, and position the watercraft at its best riding attitude to attain maxi- mum performance. When first using the watercraft, the operator should become familiar with the use of the variable trim system (VTS) at varying speeds and water con- ditions.
