OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ahead of them. Reduce speed and
avoid sharp turns. Avoid choppy water
conditions when carrying a passenger.
Tight Turns and Other Special
Maneuvers
Any tight turns or special maneuvers
that will cause the air inlet openings to
be kept under water for a prolonged
time, water will seep into the bilge.
Combustion engines need air to oper-
ate; consequently this watercraft can-
not be totally watertight.
NOTICE
If the air inlet openings
are kept under water, such as turning
constantly in tight circles, plunging
the bow through waves, or capsiz-
ing the watercraft, water may seep
into the bilge, which may cause se-
vere damage to internal parts of the
engine. Refer to the
WARRANTY
section contained in this guide.
Off-Power Assisted Steering
System (O.P.A.S.)
The
Off-Power
Assisted
Steering
(O.P.A.S.) system uses a dual side
vanes design that assists the water-
craft steering in deceleration, to redi-
rect watercraft path when steering is
turned after throttle has been released
or engine stopped.
The side vanes on the rear sides of the
hull, turn as the steering is turned to
assist the watercraft turning. At first,
carefully experiment turning with this
system.

How to Engage Neutral and
Reverse
WARNING
The shift lever should only be used
when the engine is idling and wa-
tercraft is completely stopped.
Never rev the engine at high RPM
in reverse. Do not use reverse to
stop the watercraft. Only use re-
verse at slow speed and for the
shortest time possible.
Always
ensure the path behind is clear of
objects and persons including chil-
dren playing in shallow water.
To find the neutral, set in reverse then
slowly push the lever back in 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.
