Turning the handlebar pivots the jet
pump nozzle which controls the water-
craft direction. Turning the handlebar
to the right will turn the watercraft to
the right and inversely. You need to
apply throttle to steer.

Unlike a car, a watercraft needs some
throttle to turn. Practice in a safe area
applying the throttle and turning away
from an imaginary object. This is a
good collision avoidance technique.

The watercraft behaves differently
with a passenger and requires greater
skill. The passenger (s) shall grip the
seat strap, the molded grab handle, or
the waist of the person ahead of them.
Reduce speed and avoid sharp turns.
Avoid choppy water conditions when
carrying a passenger.

The O. T. A. S. (Off-Throttle Assisted
Steering) system provides additional
maneuverability in off-throttle
situations.
If the driver releases the throttle to idle
when initiating a full turn, the O.T.A.S.
system will be electronically activated,
and will slightly increase engine speed
to allow completion of the turn.
When the handlebar is brought back
towards its center position, the throttle
reverts to idle.
We recommend that you familiarize
yourself with this feature during your
first ride.

Any tight turns or special maneuvers
that will cause the air inlet openings to
be kept under water for a prolonged
time, water will seep into the bilge.
Combustion engines need air to oper-
ate; consequently this watercraft can-
not be totally watertight.
