OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE
If the air inlet openings
are keptunder water, suchas turning
constantly in tight circles, plunging
the bow through waves, or capsiz-
ing the watercraft, water may seep
into the bilge, which may cause se-

O.T.A.S. System
(Off-Throttle Assisted Steering)
The O.T.A.S. (Off-Throttle Assisted
Steering) system provides additional
maneuverability in off-throttle situa-
tions.
If the driver releases the throttle to idle
when initiating a full turn, the O.T.A.S.
system will be electronically activated.
O.T.A.S. will slightly increase engine
speed to help turning.
When the handlebar is brought back
towards its center position, the throt-
tle reverts to idle.
We recommend that you familiarize
yourself with this feature during your
first ride.
How to Engage Neutral
WARNING
The drive shaft and impeller are
always turning when the engine is
running, even when the iBR gate
is set to the neutral position. Keep
away from the propulsion system
of the watercraft.
When the watercraft is first started,
the iBR system automatically sets the
iBR gate to the neutral position by de-
fault.
Ifthegateisinforwardthrustposition,
tap the iBR lever. The gate will move to
neutral.
If braking or reverse is used, the iBR
gate will move to the neutral position
when the iBR lever is released, if throt-
tle is not applied.
NOTE: The throttle lever must be fully
released for the iBR gate to move to
the neutral position when the iBR lever
is released.
If the engine is stopped in forward or
reverse, the iBR gate will move to the
neutral position on engine shutdown.
How to Trim the Neutral Position of
the iBR
GTX 155 Model Only
When in NEUTRAL, if the watercraft
creeps forward or backward, the iBR
system may be trimmed.

when operating in neutral may be due
to wind or water current.

momentarily press the DOWN arrow
button.
If the watercraft is moving backwards,
momentarily press the UP arrow but-
ton.
