OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When the nozzle is positioned in an
upward angle, the water thrust directs
the bow of the watercraft upward.
This position is used to optimize high
speed.
NOTE: VTS position is indicated on a
bar gauge in the information center.

When the nozzle is directed down-
ward, the bow is forced downward
and enhances the watercraft turning
capabilities. As with any watercraft,
speed and operator body position and
movement (body English), will deter-
mine the degree and sharpness of the
watercraft turn. Porpoising can be re-
duced or eliminated if the nozzle is
downward and speed is adjusted pro-
portionately.

Recommendations
Rough Water or Poor Visibility
Operation
Avoid operation in these conditions. If
youmustdoso,proceedwithcaution
and prudence using minimum speed.
Crossing Waves
Reduce speed.
Always be prepared to steer and main-
tain your balance as necessary.
When crossing wakes, always keep a
safe distance from watercraft ahead.
WARNING
When crossing wakes, slow down.
Operator and passenger(s) should
brace themselves and adopt a
semi-standing position to help
absorb the bumps. Do not jump
waves or wakes.
Stopping/Docking
When the throttle is released, the wa-
tercraft is slowed by water drag. The
stopping distance will vary depending
on the watercraft size, weight, speed,
water surface condition, presence and
direction of wind and current.
