Steering
Turning the handlebar pivots the jet
pump nozzle which controls the water-
craft direction. Turning the handlebar
to the right will turn the watercraft to
the right and inversely. The throttle
should be applied to turn the water-
craft.
Unlike a car, a watercraft needs some
throttle to turn. Practice in a safe area
applying the throttle and turning away
from an imaginary object. This is a
good collision avoidance technique.
The watercraft behaves differently with
a passenger and requires greater skill.
The passenger should always grip the
seat strap or grab handle. Reduce
speed and avoid sharp turns. Avoid
choppy water conditions when carrying
a passenger.
Boarding the Watercraft
General
As with any watercraft, boarding should
be done carefully and engine should not
be running.
On some models
, boarding is facilitat-
ed by using a step.
CAUTION:
Never use jet pump com-
ponents as a supporting point to
board the watercraft.

WARNING
Throttle should be applied and
handlebar turned to change the di-
rection of the watercraft. Steering
efficiency will differ depending on
the number of passengers, load,
water conditions and environmen-
tal factors such as the wind.
WARNING
Directional control is reduced when
the throttle is released and lost
when engine is off.
WARNING
Inexperienced riders should practice
how to get aboard (all methods ex-
plained here) close to shore first
before venturing into deep water.
