The braking function can only be en-
gaged during forward operation at or
above the threshold speed of 7 km/h4
MPH.
Braking is engaged and controlled
when the iBR lever on the LH handle-
bar is pulled in at least 25% of its
travel.

When iBR lever is applied, the throttle
lever command is overridden and en-
gine throttle control is now dependant
on the iBR lever position. Braking can
thus be modulated by using only the
iBR lever.
Watercraft deceleration is proportional
to the braking force. The more the iBR
lever is pulled in, the greater the brak-
ing force applied.
NNOOTTEE::
Be careful to gradually actuate the
iBR lever to adjust intensity of the
braking force and simultaneously re-
lease the throttle lever.

When the watercraft slows to less
than 7 km/h4 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.

If the throttle lever is still pulled in
when releasing the iBR lever, the
watercraft will accelerate forward after
a short delay. Acceleration will be pro-
portional to the throttle lever position.

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.
