Operation

VX DELUXE / VX CRUISER / VX LIMITED device for avoiding dangerous situa-
tions.
Steering control depends on the combination
of handlebar position and the amount of
MPH
throttle.
Water sucked in through the intake grate is
RPM
pressurized by the impeller in the jet pump.
As the pressurized water is expelled from the
14.3V
pump through the jet thrust nozzle, it creates
1 thrust to move and steer the watercraft. The
1 “F” (Forward position) higher the engine speed, the more thrust pro-
duced.
The amount of jet thrust, in addition to the po-
sition of the handlebars, determines how
sharply you turn.
A. More throttle produces higher thrust, so
the watercraft will turn more sharply.

the watercraft to slide sideways or spin,
