Throttle must be applied for turning to
ensure directional control. However
braking can be initiated during a turn
using the iBR lever as previously de-
scribed. Get ready to maintain your
balance while the wake is crossing
your PWC.

SSyysstteemm ((VVTTSS))
The variable trim system (VTS)
changes the vertical position of the jet
pump nozzle to provide the operator
with a fast, effective system to com-
pensate for load, thrust, riding position
and water conditions. Correctly ad-
justed, it can improve handling, re-
duce porpoising, and position the
watercraft at its best riding attitude to
attain maximum performance.
When first using the watercraft, the
operator should become familiar with
the use of the variable trim system
(VTS) at varying speeds and water
conditions. A mid-range trim is gener-
ally used when cruising. Experience
alone will dictate the best trim for the
conditions. During the watercraft
break-in period, when lower speeds
are recommended, it is an excellent
opportunity to become familiar with
trim adjustment and its effects.
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.
When the nozzle is directed down-
ward, the bow is forced downward
and increases 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
proportionately.
The VTS system allows for manually
adjusting the trim position of the
nozzle.
MMaannuuaallllyy AAddjjuussttiinngg tthhee VVTTSS
Nine trim positions are available.
With the watercraft operating forward,
proceed as follows:
Press and release the VTS UP or VTS
DOWN button to move the VTS of one
position.
If the VTS UP or VTS DOWN button is
pressed and held, the pump nozzle
will keep moving until the button is
released.
