Basic Operation & Riding
87
Your First Ride
Check your path is clear of other boats,
swimmers, or other obstacles in the water.
We recommend use of the limit mode until
the PWC operator is familiar with operating
the PWC.
Get familiar with operating the throttle. To go
faster, pull the throttle lever toward you. To
go slower, reduce pressure on the lever to
allow it to move away from you. Gradually
increase throttle to see how speed affects your
directional control, then try varying the
speed.
Try turning gradually. Pay attention to the
connection between throttle input and the use
of the handlebar. Remember, steering with the
handlebar will not turn the PWC unless you
are applying some throttle.
Get acquainted with the handling of your
PWC.
