BOMBARDIER Sea-Doo GTX, Operator'S Manual

Page: 93 / 196

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The throttle lever must be fully
released for the iBR gate to move to
the neutral position when the iBR lever
is released.
If the engine is stopped in forward or
reverse, the iBR gate will move to the
neutral position on engine shutdown.
How to Trim the Neutral Position of
the iBR
When in NEUTRAL, if the watercraft
creeps forward or backward, the iBR
system may be trimmed.
NOTE: Movement of the watercraft
when operating in neutral may be due
to wind or water current.
If the watercraft is moving forwards,
momentarily press the VTS DOWN
button.
If the watercraft is moving backwards,
momentarily press the VTS UP button.

VTS CONTROL BUTTON
1. Bow up
2. Bow down
NOTE: Press the VTS UP/DOWN but-
ton repeatedly until proper adjustment
of the neutral position is attained and
the watercraft stops moving.
How to Engage Forward
To engage forward thrust from neutral,
tap on the throttle lever. The gate will
move to forward thrust position and
the watercraft will accelerate forward.
To engage forward thrust from re-
verse, release the iBR lever while ap-
plying throttle moderately.
To re-engage forward thrust from brak-
ing, simultaneously pull in the throttle
lever while releasing the iBR lever. The
watercraft will accelerate forward after
a short delay.
How to Engage and Use
Reverse
Reverse can only be engaged between
idle speed and the threshold forward
speed of 14 km/h (9 MPH).
To engage reverse thrust, the iBR lever
on the LH handlebar must be pulled in
at least 25% of the lever travel.
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 velocity 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.
However, speeds above
14 km/h (9 MPH) may be obtained in
reverse depending on conditions.
