54 GENERAL INFORMATION Important Information When you make an emergency maneuver: YOU MUST HAVE THRUST TO TURN, so keep the throttle on or apply throttle as needed to maintain thrust at the jet nozzle. You can turn quicker by applying the throttle as needed and not relying upon the steering system. The system functions when all of these conditions are present: - engine speed averages more than 3 000 RPM for a specified time - the throttle is released completely - and the handlebars are held fully to the left or right. Smart Learning Operation mode (SLO) This watercraft is equipped with the Smart Learning Operation mode (SLO), which reduces the maximum watercraft speed by approximately 30 percent. SLO mode is displayed on the meter as SLO, whereas the non-restricted ordinary mode (Full Power Operation mode, FPO) is displayed as FPO. Under the SLO mode, all the functions of the multifunction meter and KSS function remain the same as the ordinary mode, FPO. To switch from FPO mode to SLO and vice versa, stop the engine and replace the ignition key from FPO to SLO and vice versa. See the Ignition Switch section and Multifunction Meter section in this chapter. We suggest that the owner/operator become familiar with the SLO mode so that they can assist others in understanding how it works. Important Information for Handlebar Cover: The fuel tank vent hose is routed in the handlebar cover and improper installation of the handlebar cover can allow the vent hose to be kinked, pinched or plugged creating the possibility of a fuel leak resulting in fire or explosion. j WARNING Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Improper installation of the handlebar cover can allow the fuel tank vent hose to be kinked, pinched, or plugged creating the possibility of a fuel leak resulting in fire or explosion. To avoid a possible fire or explosion, See your authorized Kawasaki JET SKI watercraft dealer, if you must remove/install the handlebar or handlebar cover. Engine Stop Button The stop button is in the case on the left hand side of the handlebar. The stop button is red and marked "STOP." Pushing the stop button turns off the engine. The engine is also stopped by pulling the engine shut-off lanyard key off the stop button. After riding, remove the engine shut-off lanyard key from watercraft to avoid unauthorized use by children or others.

Smart Learning Operation mode (SLO)
This watercraft is equipped with the Smart Learn-
ing Operation mode (SLO), which reduces the maxi-
mum watercraft speed by approximately 30 percent.
SLO mode is displayed on the meter as SLO,

To switch from FPO mode to SLO and vice versa,
stop the engine and replace the ignition key from
FPO to SLO and vice versa. See the Ignition Switch
section and Multifunction Meter section in this chap-
ter.
We suggest that the owner/operator become famil-
iar with the SLO mode so that they can assist others
in understanding how it works.
Important Information for Handlebar Cover:

be explosive under certain conditions.
Im-
proper installation of the handlebar cover
