The more the throttle is applied while
turning the handlebar, the sharper the
turn will be.
The watercraft behaves differently
with a passenger and requires greater
skill. The passenger should always
grip the seat strap or grab handle. Re-
duce speed and avoid sharp turns.
Avoid choppy water conditions when
carrying a passenger.
Boarding from a Dock or
in Shallow Water
As with any craft, getting aboard
should be done carefully.
When boarding from a dock, slowly
place one foot on the watercraft floor-
board nearest the dock and, at the
same time, transfer the body weight
to the other side in order to balance
the watercraft while holding the han-
dlebar. Then, bring the other foot over
the seat and put it on the other floor-
board. Push the watercraft away from
the dock.
A. 90 cm (3 ft)
In shallow water, board the watercraft
either from the side or the rear.
◆
WARNING
Directional control is lost when
the throttle is closed. Throttle
must be applied and handlebar
turned to change the direction of
the watercraft. Steering efficien-
cy will differ with carrying loads
and water conditions.
-
CAUTION
The engine should be started
with at least 90 cm (3 ft) of water
below the hull.
