you could be pinched.
 If the RiDE lever and throttle lever are 1
being operated at the same time, do not
release only the RiDE lever. Otherwise,
the watercraft could accelerate more
quickly than expected, which may lead
to an accident.

The RiDE lever and throttle lever can be oper-
ated to change the forward or rearward
movement of the watercraft only when the 1 RiDE lever
engine is running. When the RiDE lever is
squeezed, the reverse gate lowers and de-
flects the water jet being discharged from the 1
jet thrust nozzle so that the watercraft moves
in reverse or is in neutral. When the throttle le-
ver is squeezed, the reverse gate rises and
the watercraft moves forward.
TIP:
 This model is equipped with a function 2
which limits the engine speed in reverse.
 When the engine is started, the reverse 1 Reverse gate
gate automatically moves to the neutral po- 2 Reverse position
sition.
To shift into reverse: 1
(1) Release the throttle lever.
(2) Squeeze the RiDE lever. The reverse
gate will lower, the engine speed will in-
crease, the watercraft will start moving in

To shift into neutral from reverse:
Release the RiDE lever. The reverse gate will
automatically return to the neutral position
