OPERATION
Reverse Lever Operation
WARNING
Activating reverse while the craft is moving
forward above planing speed could cause loss of
control and result in damage to the watercraft or
serious injury to the operator or passenger(s).
Do not attempt to activate reverse while moving
forward above planing speed.
Use reverse only for slow-speed maneuvering.
Place the reverse lever in the forward-most position for
operating the watercraft in forward. Always allow the
engine to return to idle speed before moving the
reverse lever to a different position.
To operate in reverse:
1. Pull the reverse
lever all the way
upward. The
lever will remain
in the full up
position (1).
2. Apply throttle carefully and turn the handlebars to
maintain steering control of the watercraft.
NOTE:
Engine RPM is limited during reverse
operation.
3. To return to forward operation, allow the engine to
return to idle speed, then return the reverse lever to
the forward position.
4. To operate in a neutral-like mode, move the lever
to the “N” position. This mode is useful while
docking or loading the watercraft onto a trailer.
WARNING
Serious injury from jet pump thrust can occur
even when the reverse lever is in the Neutral
position. When the engine is running, the jet
pump continues to operate in Forward, Reverse
and Neutral modes. Do not exceed idle speed if
any person in the water is within 50 feet (15 m) of
the rear of the watercraft.
