LEFT TURN

F22L1CY

RIGHT TURN

Turning the handlebar pivots the jet

pump nozzle which controls the wa-

tercraft direction. Turning the handle-

bar to the right will turn the watercraft

to the right and inversely. The throt-

tle should be applied to turn the wa-

tercraft.

In “vert“ operation, the steering pole

can be moved up and down while driv-

ing to suit various riding position.

NOTE: Moving steering pole up or

down does not change the watercraft

direction.



WARNING

Throttle should be applied and

handlebar turned to change the

direction of the watercraft. Steer-

ing efficiency will differ depending

on load, water conditions and en-

vironmental factors such as the

wind.

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.



WARNING

Directional control is reduced

when the throttle is released and

lost when engine is off.

Keeping your feet spread apart and

leaning in while turning may help to

keep your balance when riding in

“vert“ configuration.

CAUTION: Combustion engine

needs air to operate; consequently

this watercraft cannot be totally wa-

tertight. Maneuvers such as figure

eights etc., that cause the upper

deck to be under water may cause

severe engine problems due to wa-

ter ingestion. Refer to SPECIAL

PROCEDURES and LIMITED WAR-

RANTY contained in this section.

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. The O.T.A.S. system is elec-

tronically activated and slightly in-

creases engine speed under a pre-pro-

grammed RPM when the driver ini-

tiates a full turn. When handlebar is

brought back to its center position,

the throttle reverts to idle.
