OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 97 If you release the throttle completely, there is little thrust of the jet pump. The boat turns slowly and steering ability is reduced. If you stop the engine while riding, there is no thrust of the jet pump. The boat goes straight ahead even though the handlebar is turned. j NO THRUST = NO TURN IDLE = SLOW, GRADUAL TURN WARNING JET SKI watercraft require throttle (thrust) to steer; stopping the engine eliminates the ability to steer and may cause you to hit an object you are trying to avoid, causing injury or death. To avoid collisions do not stop the engine while riding; maintain or apply throttle as needed to maintain thrust at the jet nozzle to initiate a turn. This is one characteristic of jet drive boats which is important to remember 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. Throttle down before entering a turn.

If you release the throttle completely, there is little
thrust of the jet pump.
The boat turns slowly and
steering ability is reduced.
IDLE = SLOW, GRADUAL TURN
WARNING
JET SKI watercraft require throttle (thrust) to
steer; releasing the throttle completely re-
duces the ability to steer and may cause you
to hit an object you are trying to avoid, caus-
ing injury or death. To avoid collisions main-
tain or apply throttle as needed to maintain
thrust at the jet nozzle to initiate a turn.
If you stop the engine while riding, there is no
thrust of the jet pump. The boat goes straight ahead
even though the handlebar is turned.
NO THRUST = NO TURN
