Avoid operation in these conditions. If
you must do so, proceed with caution
using minimum speed.

1. The operator must grip the handle-
bar firmly and keep both feet on
the deck.
2. The passenger (s) must grip the
handhold of their seat with both
hands and keep both feet on the
deck.
3. Reduce speed.
4. Always be prepared to steer and
maintain your balance as
necessary.
5. When going over waves, raise
your body slightly off the seat to
absorb the shocks with your legs.
6. When crossing wakes, always
keep a safe distance from water-
craft ahead.

When the throttle is released, the
watercraft is slowed by water drag
against the hull. The stopping dis-
tance will vary depending on the
watercraft size, weight, speed, water
surface condition, presence and direc-
tion of wind and current.
The iBR system can also be used for
slowing down or for stopping more
quickly, and for increasing maneuver-
ability especially when docking.
The operator should practice in open
waters at various speeds to become
familiarized with the stopping distan-
ces under different conditions. Stop-
ping using the iBR system in a straight
line and in a turn should be practiced
extensively to become familiar with
the handling characteristics of the
watercraft under partial or full braking
conditions.

The operator should also practice
docking with an imaginary dock using
the various controls available (iBR lev-
er and throttle lever).
Release the throttle at a sufficient dis-
tance before the expected landing
area.
Reduce speed to idle.
Maneuver using a combination of the
iBR lever and throttle lever, shifting to
neutral,
reverse, or forward as
required.
Remember that when operating in re-
verse, steering direction is reversed.
Turning the handlebars to the left will
