SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
Reminders Regarding Safe
Operation
– The performance of this watercraft
may significantly exceed that of
other watercrafts you may have
operated. Make sure you read and
understandthe content of this Oper-
ators Guide to become completely
familiar with the controls and op-
eration of the watercraft before em-
barking on your first trip, or taking on
a passenger(s). If you have not had
the opportunity to do so, practice
driving solo in a suitable traffic free
area to become accustomed to the
feel and response of each control.
Be fully familiar with all controls be-
fore accelerating above idle speed.
Do not assume that all PWCs han-
dle identically. Each model differs,
often substantially.
– Always keep in mind that as the
throttle lever is returned to the idle
position, less directional control is
available. To turn the watercraft,
both steering and throttle are nec-
essary. If the engine is shut off, di-
rectional control is lost.
– Although most watercrafts have no
means of braking, advancement in
technologies now permit us to of-
fer models that are equipped with
a braking system called the iBR
TM
system. Practice braking maneu-
vers in a safe traffic-free area to be-
come familiar with handling under
braking and with stopping distances
under various operating conditions.
WARNING
Stopping distance will vary de-
pending on initial speed, load,
wind, number of riders and water
conditions. The amount of braking
power commanded by the opera-
tor using the iBR lever (intelligent
Brake and Reverse) will also affect
stopping distance.
– When braking, riders must brace
themselves against the decelera-
tion force to prevent from moving
forward on the watercraft and los-
ing balance.
– When operating an iBR equipped
watercraft, be aware that other
boats following or operating in close
proximity may not be able to stop as
quickly.
– 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. It is im-
portant to inform the operator of a
watercraft who intends to follow in
a convoy formation, of the braking
and maneuvering capability of your
PWC, what the plume of water in-
dicates, and that a greater dist
ance
should be maintained between wa-
tercrafts.
– When actuating the iBR control
lever while the watercraft h
as some
forward speed, the braking mode
will engage and generate a decel-
eration proportional
to the iBR lever
position. The more you pull in the
iBR lever, the greater the braking
force becomes. Be ca
reful to grad-
ually actuate the iBR lever to adjust
the intensity of the braking force,
and to simultan
eously release the
throttle lever.
– Do not release throttle to steer.
