Shift lever 

The shift lever is located on the starboard

(right) side of the watercraft and is used to
control the reverse gate, which allows the
watercraft to move into reverse or forward. 

When in the reverse position, the water-

craft can be launched from a trailer, or
backed up out of tight spots where you can-
not turn around easily.

To shift into reverse: 

1. Release the throttle, and then let the

engine speed return to idle. 

2. Pull the shift lever toward you.

WARNING

Make sure that the throttle is com-
pletely released and that the engine is
at idle before shifting into reverse. 

Do not use the reverse function to
slow down or stop the watercraft as it
could cause you to lose control, be
ejected, or impact the handlebars. 

Use reverse for slow-speed maneuver-
ing only. 

Make sure that there are no obstacles
or people behind you before shifting
into reverse. 

Do not touch the reverse gate while the
shift lever is being operated, otherwise
you could be pinched. 

@

To shift into forward: 

1. Release the throttle, and then let the

engine speed return to idle. 

2. Push the shift lever away from you.
