OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
F18A03Y
The operator should practice in open
waters at various speeds to become fa-
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 operator should also practice dock-
ing with an imaginary dock using the
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-
ing up, and vice-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 before the water is
less than 90 cm (3 ft) deep under the
lowest rear portion of the hull. Then
pull the watercraft to the beach.
