Limited-Speed Operation
The
4-TEC models
also offers a special
safety lanyard — the SEA-DOO Learn-
ing Key
TM
— which electronically limits
the speed of the watercraft to approx-
imately 55 km/h (35 MPH) therefore
enabling first time users and less expe-
rienced operators to learn how to oper-
ate the watercraft while gaining the
necessary confidence and control.
2) Handlebar
The handlebar controls the direction of
the watercraft. Turning the handlebar
to the right steers the watercraft to the
right and inversely.
3) Throttle Lever
When the throttle lever is squeezed,
the watercraft accelerates. When fully
released, engine automatically slows
down to idle speed and watercraft is
gradually
stopped
by water drag.
4) Engine Start/Stop
Button
To start engine, depress and hold the
start/stop button. Release immediate-
ly after engine is started.
To stop engine depress the start/stop
button. When stopped, disconnect safe-
ty lanyard from the post. It is suggested
to release throttle lever first.
