OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
How to Engage and Use
Reverse (iBR Equipped
Models Only)
Reverse can only be engaged between
idle speed and the threshold forward
speed of 8 km/h (5 MPH).
To engage reverse position, the iBR
lever on the LH handlebar must be
pulled in at least 25% of the lever
travel.

TYPICAL - iBR LEVER
1. iBR lever
2. Lever released position
3. Approximate 25% position
4. Operating range
When operating the iBR lever in re-
verse mode, the throttle lever can
be used to control engine RPM, and
thus the amount of reverse thrust pro-
duced.
By modulating both the iBR and throt-
tle levers simultaneously,
reverse
thrust can be more precisely con-
trolled. Too much RPM will create
water turbulence and reduce reverse
efficiency.
NOTE:
Engine power will be reduced
to idle whenever the iBR lever position
is changed.
Release the iBR lever to end reverse
operation.
To stop rearward motion after iBR lever
release, apply enough throttle to stop
rearward movement.
WARNING
The brake function has no effect
when travelling in reverse.
Available engine power is limited in
reverse mode, which limits reverse
speed.
WARNING
Only use reverse at slow speed
and for the shortest time possible.
Always ensure the path behind
is clear of objects, obstacles and
people.
When operating in reverse, turn the
handlebar in the opposite direction
that you want to move the rear of the
watercraft.
For example, to steer the rear of the
watercraft to port (left), turn the han-
dlebar to starboard (right).
