OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Neutral and Reverse
WARNING
Never use jet pump components
as a supporting point to board
the watercraft. Shift lever should
only be used when the engine is
idling and watercraft is completely
stopped. Never rev the engine
at high RPM in reverse. Do not
use reverse to stop the watercraft.
Only use reverse at slow speed
and for the shortest time possible.
Always ensure the path behind
is clear of objects and persons in-
cluding children playing in shallow
water.
To find the neutral, set in reverse then
push back until the watercraft stops
moving backwards.
The reverse gate will be in the middle
position, directing half of the thrust to-
ward the front of the watercraft to min-
imize watercraft movement.
WARNING
When the watercraft is in neutral
position, the drive shaft and im-
peller are still turning.
