7. Press the SET button, or wait for the
function to time out to save the set-
ting and return to main display.
You may now start the engine and
drive away using the selected DOCK
MODE.
CAUTION Operating the wa-
tercraft in DOCK MODE OFF pre-
vents the suspension from automat-
ically moving to the "down" position
when operating the watercraft at
slow speed or when stopping. This
maintains a higher center of gravity,
reduces stability, and makes the wa-
tercraft more prone to overturning.
General
Recommendations
Rough Water or Poor Visibility
Operation
Avoid operation in these conditions. If
youmustdoso,proceedwithcaution
using minimum speed.
Crossing Waves
Reduce speed.
Always be prepared to steer and main-
tain your balance as necessary.
When crossing wakes, always keep a
safe distance from watercraft ahead.
WARNING
When crossing wakes, slow down.
Operator and passenger(s) should
brace themselves and adopt a
semi-standing position to help
absorb the bumps. Do not jump
waves or wakes.
NOTE: Some watercraft models are
equipped with a suspension system
(iS) that is capable of smoothing out the
bumps when riding through rough wa-
ter or a wake. Adopting a semi-stand-
ing position may be necessary in very
rough water or large wakes. Operator
should reduce speed as required to
prevent loosing control of the water-
craft, or prevent personnel from being
ejected.
Stopping/Docking
When the throttle is released, the wa-
tercraftis slowed by water drag against
the hull. The stopping distance will
vary depending on the watercraft size,
weight, speed, water surface condi-
tion, presence and direction of wind
and current.
The iBR system can also be used for
slowing down or for stopping more
quickly, and for increasing maneuver-
ability especially when docking.
