OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The watercraft behaves differently
with a passenger and requires greater
skill. The passenger(s) should always
grip the seat strap, the molded grab
handle, or the waist of the person
ahead of them. Reduce speed and
avoid sharp turns. Avoid choppy water
conditions when carrying a passenger.
Tight Turns and Other Special
Maneuvers
Any tight turns or special maneuvers
that will cause the air inlet openings to
be kept under water for a prolonged
time, water will seep into the bilge.
Combustion engines need air to oper-
ate; consequently this watercraft can-
not be totally watertight.
NOTICE
If the air inlet openings
are kept under water, such as turning
constantly in tight circles, plunging
the bow through waves, or capsiz-
ing the watercraft, water may seep
into the bilge, which may cause se-
vere damage to internal parts of the
engine. Refer to the
WARRANTY
section contained in this guide.
O.T.A.S.
TM
System
(Off-Throttle Assisted Steering)
The O.T.A.S. (Off-Throttle Assisted
Steering) system provides additional
maneuverability in off-throttle situa-
tions.
If the driver releases the throttle to idle
when initiating a full turn, the O.T.A.S.
system will be electronically activated,
and will slightly increase engine speed
to allow completion of the turn.
When the handlebar is brought back
towards its center position, the throt-
tle reverts to idle.
We recommend that you familiarize
yourself with this feature during your
first ride.
How to Use the Variable
Trim System (VTS)
The
variable
trim
system
(VTS)
changes the vertical position of the jet
pump nozzle to provide the operator
with a fast, effective system to com-
pensate for load, thrust, riding position
and water conditions. Correctly ad-
justed, it can improve handling, reduce
porpoising, and position the watercraft
at its best riding attitude to attain maxi-
mum performance.
When first using the watercraft, the
operator should become familiar with
the use of the variable trim system
(VTS) at varying speeds and water con-
ditions. A mid-range trim is generally
used when cruising. Experience alone
will dictate the best trim for the condi-
tions. During the watercraft break-in
period, when lower speeds are recom-
mended, it is an excellent opportunity
to become familiar with trim adjust-
ment and its effects.
When the nozzle is positioned in an
upward angle, the water jet directs the
bow of the watercraft upward. This po-
sition is used to optimize high speed.
When the nozzle is directed down-
ward, the bow is forced downward
and increases the watercraft turning
capabilities. As with any watercraft,
speed and operator body position and
movement (body English), will deter-
mine the degree and sharpness of the
watercraft turn. Porpoising can be re-
duced or eliminated if the nozzle is
downward and speed is adjusted pro-
portionately.
NOTE:
VTS position is indicated on a
bar gauge in the information center.
