WARNING
●
Before shifting, make sure there are no
swimmers or obstacles in the water near
you.
●
When operating in reverse, go slowly.
Do not open the throttle more than half.
Otherwise, the boat may become unsta-
ble, which could result in loss of control
and an accident.
●
Do not shift into reverse while traveling
at planing speeds. Loss of control, boat
swamping, or damage to the boat could
occur.
Moving the remote control lever forward from
the neutral position into the forward position,
and then as the lever is moved farther, accel-
erates the engine for more thrust. Moving the
lever back from the neutral position into the
reverse position, and then as the lever is
moved farther, accelerates the engine for
more thrust.

This boat is equipped with a “start-in-gear”
protection. The engine will not start unless the
lever is in the neutral position.
The lever controls the direction of travel.
This boat uses a direct-drive propulsion sys-
tem. Therefore, jet thrust is always being pro-
duced while the engine is running. The
direction of the boat is controlled by the shift
gate, which directs the flow of the jet thrust as
follows:
