CanDock G2 JETSLIDE, Installation And Use Manual

3) USING THE JETSLIDE
1)
Approach the JetSlide at idle, keeping the craft straight and centred
with the JetSlide. When the bow of the craft will be in contact with
the JetSlide, give small throttle strokes that will make the craft align
with the JetSlide. When the craft is in line with the JetSlide, throttle
in slowly. After a few tries, you will rapidly develop a feel of how
much you have to use the throttle the reach final position on the
JetSlide
2)
For a boat, engine must be trimmed down fully during the entering
procedures and the depth of water at the back of the system must be
3' /1m minimum at all time to avoid damage to the boat. Increase
throttle power until the boat is fully up on the system. When the
engine gets in contact with the JetSlide, you will feel the craft
stopping. You must immediately throttle down. This indicates that
the craft is at final resting position. Entering the unit at high speed
may damage the unit. We recommend, at first, that you try at slow
speeds until you reach the correct speed. If the boat gets on the
system but is not all the way in, you can continue throttling
progressively until the boat reaches final resting position.
Be careful,
boarding at high speed can be dangerous.
3)
It is recommended to secure the craft to a cleat in order to
prevent the craft from sliding back into the water accidentally
.
The craft can be locked to the JetSlide with a chain when you are not
using it. Ask your dealer for details.
4)
To go back into the water, take a standing position on your PWC and
generate a backward movement by using your lower back and arms,
pumping backwards rapidly until the PWC starts sliding back into the
water. The procedure is easier when the PWC is wet. You can also
stand up at the back of your PWC, grab the handle of the seat and
transfer your weight back. The easiest way to return to water is to
keep the front of the PWC in one hand and the handle of the other
and then push gently. Be vigilant, because at some point, your PWC
will start to go down by itself. At this point, you will have to get on it
if you do not want your watercraft in the water without you.
5)
For a boat, put the engine in reverse and increase throttle until craft
starts to go down by itself. It helps if you wet the system, especially
if the boat was not used for a couple of days. It might be necessary
to give a good throttle stroke to start the movement and then
