OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
As
the
watercraft
slows to a stop while braking in a
turn, the wake created by the water-
craft will catch up and tend to push
the watercraft sideways. Be pre-
pared to maintain balance as the
wake crossed the watercraft.
How to Use the Variable
Trim System (VTS)
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, reduce
porpoising, and position the watercraft
at its best riding attitude to attain maxi-
mum 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 con-
ditions. A mid-range trim is generally
used when cruising. Experience alone
will dictate the best trim for the condi-
tions. During the watercraft break-in
period, when lower speeds are recom-
mended, it is an excellent opportunity
to become familiar with trim adjust-
ment and its effects.
When the nozzle is positioned in an
upward angle, the water jet directs the
bow of the watercraft upward. This po-
sition 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 pro-
portionately.
NOTE:
VTS position is indicated on a
bar gauge in the information center.
VTS POSITION INDICATION
The VTS system allows for manually
adjusting the trim position of the noz-
zle, or selecting two preset trim posi-
tions and recording or changing preset
trim positions on certain models.
