then while holding the handlebar and balancing
the craft by transferring body weight straddle the
craft and sit down on the seat.
Check that the shift lever is in the “F” position to
go forward or “R” for reverse.
When leaving the dock, either push the watercraft
away from the dock or run at a slight angle away
from it until there is enough room for the rear of
the craft to swing, since the watercraft turns at the
stern and not at the bow.
Check that the water in your path is clear and
