General Operating
Recommendations
Rough Water or Poor Visibility
Operation
Avoid operation in these conditions. If
youmustdoso,proceedwithcaution
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.
NOTE: Some watercraft models are
equipped with a suspension system
(iS) that is capable of smoothing out the
bumps when riding through rough wa-
ter or a wake. Adopting a semi-stand-
ing position may be necessary in very
rough water or large wakes. Operator
should reduce speed as required to
prevent loosing control of the water-
craft, or prevent personnel from being
ejected.
Stopping/Docking
When the throttle is released, the wa-
tercraftisslowed by water drag against
the hull. The stopping distance will
vary depending on the watercraft size,
weight, speed, water surface condi-
tion, presence and direction of wind
and current.
The iBR system can also be used for
slowing down or for stopping more
quickly, and for increasing maneuver-
ability especially when docking.
