Section 06 STEERING AND PROPULSION
Subsection 02 (iBR, REVERSE AND VTS)
Every time the iBR gate moves when commanded
by the iBR lever, engine RPM is momentarily re-
duced to idle speed as the gate moves.
WARNING
If it is necessary to remove any foreign ob-
ject catch in the iBR gate, nozzle or linkages,
strictly observe the following before proceed-
ing:
– Remove tether cord from engine cut-off
switch.
– Wait at least 5 minutes or remove iBR
fuses.
– Do not press on START/STOP button. If
START/STOP button is pressed, wait an-
other 5 minutes.
iBR Override Function
iBR override moves the iBR actuator through its
full range of motion.
NOTICE
Remove any foreign object that may
obstruct iBR actuator movement.
Activating iBR Override Function
1. Press the
START/STOP button.
2. Install the tether cord.
NOTE: Do not start the engine. The tether cord
must be installed to ensure the information center
will not shut off all indications after its self test
function. Briefly press the START/STOP button to
reactivate the electrical system when required.
3. Pull in t
he iBR lever;
3.1 There will be a beep.
3.2 Press the SET or OK button on the infor-
mation center (gauge).
4. Press t
he VTS UP or DOWN button to move the
iBR gat
e.
Forward Mode
To enga
ge forward:
– Start engine
– Pull in the throttle lever.
The iBR gate will automatically move to the for-
ward position (full up).
NOTE: T
he full up position of the iBR gate is de-
pende
nt on the selected VTS trim position.
Reverse Mode
If the
watercraft speed is below 14 km/h (9 MPH)
when t
he iBR lever is pulled in, reverse mode is
engag
ed.
When the iBR lever is pulled in to engage the re-
verse, the following occurs:
– Engine RPM is reduced to idle.
– The iBR gate moves to the reverse position.
– Engine RPM ramps up to the engine power
commanded by the throttle lever.
When operating in reverse mode, the iBR lever
controls the iBR gate position and the engine RPM
is controlled by the throttle lever.
Maximum engine RPM in reverse is 5000 RPM.
Braking Mode
If the watercraft speed is 14 km/h (9 MPH) per
hour and above when the iBR lever is pulled in,
braking mode is engaged.
When the iBR lever is pulled in to engage braking,
the following occurs:
– Engine RPM is reduced to idle.
– The iBR gate moves to the maximum down po-
sition.
– Engine RPM ramps up to the engine power
commanded by the iBR lever.
When operating in braking mode, the iBR gate al-
ways moves to the maximum down position. The
throttle lever signal is overridden and engine RPM
is now dependent on watercraft speed and how
far the iBR lever is pulled in.
If watercraft speed is high when braking is ap-
plied, engine power will be initially low and
then ramp up to the power commanded by the
iBR lever position. The engine RPM may be in-
creased, as necessary, to apply a stronger braking
effect with the jet pump thrust when the condi-
tions dictate.
As the watercraft slows to less than 8 km/h
(5 MPH), the following occurs:
– Braking mode ceases.
– Reverse mode takes over if the iBR lever is not
released.
– Throttle control reverts back to the throttle
lever.
Neutral Mode
Every time the iBR lever is pulled in and released,
the iBR gate will default to the neutral position,
except if the throttle lever is still pulled in when
the iBR lever is released. If the throttle lever is
still pulled, the iBR gate will move to the forward
position when the iBR lever is released and the
watercraft will accelerate forward.
