OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
F18A03Y
The operator should practice in open
watersat variousspeeds to becomefa-
miliarized with the stopping distances
under different conditions. Stopping
using the iBR system in a straight line
and in a turn should be practiced exten-
sively to become familiar with the han-
dling characteristics of the watercraft
under partial or full braking conditions.
WARNING
Always practice braking in open
waters ensuring there are no wa-
tercrafts or boats in your imme-
diate vicinity, especially astern.
Other users of the waterways may
not be able to maneuver or stop in
time to avoid you should you un-
expectedly come to a full stop in
front of them.
When at speed and the brake is first
applied, a plume of water will shoot
up in the air behind the watercraft and
may cause the operator of a following
watercraft to momentarily loose sight
of your PWC.
WARNING
It is important to inform the oper-
ator of a watercraft who intends to
follow in a convoy formation of the
braking and maneuvering capabil-
ity of your PWC, what the plume of
water indicates, and that a greater
distance should be maintained be-
tween both of you.
The operatorshould also practice dock-
ingwithanimaginarydockusingthe
various controls available (iBR lever
and throttle lever).
Release the throttle at a sufficient dis-
tance before the expected landing
area.
Reduce speed to idle.
Maneuver using a combination of the
iBR lever and throttle lever, shifting
to neutral, reverse, or forward as re-
quired.
Remember that when operating in re-
verse, steering direction is reversed.
Turning the handlebars to the left will
move the stern to the right when back-
ingup,andvice-versa.
WARNING
Directional control is reduced
when the throttle is released
and/or when engine is off. Steer-
ing direction is reversed when op-
erating the watercraft in reverse.
Beaching
NOTICE
It is not recommended to
run the watercraft to the beach.
Drive slowly towards the beach and
shut off the engine using start/stop
button, or the D.E.S.S. key, before the
waterdepth is less than 90 cm (3 ft) un-
der the lowest rear portion of th
e hull,
then pull the watercraft to the beach.
