                        Operation

                        JETBLASTER LTD                        Steering control depends on the combination
                                                              of handlebar position and the amount of
                                                              throttle.

                                                              pressurized by the impeller in the jet pump.

                                                              As the pressurized water is expelled from the
                                                MPH           pump through the jet thrust nozzle, it creates
                                                              thrust to move and steer the watercraft. The

                                                                 the watercraft will turn more sharply.

                          with other powerboats, you need throt-
                          tle to steer. A collision could result in se-
                          vere injury or death.
                         When operating at higher speeds, make
                          gradual turns or slow down before turn-
                          ing. Sharp high-speed turns may cause
                          the watercraft to slide sideways or spin,
                          throwing the operator and passenger(s)
                          overboard, which could cause an injury.
