Safety information
18
watch the skier’s hand signals and condi-
tion.
FX SHO
FX Cruiser SHO

Your control while pulling a water-skier is
affected by the skier’s ability, as well as wa-
ter and weather conditions.

When preparing to pull a skier, operate the
watercraft at the slowest possible speeduntil the watercraft is well away from the ski-
er and slack in the ski rope is taken up.
Make sure that the rope is not looped
around anything.
After checking that the skier is ready and
that there is no traffic or other obstacles, ap-
ply enough throttle to raise the skier.

Make smooth, wide turns. The watercraft is
capable of very sharp turns, which could ex-
ceed the abilities of the skier. Keep the skier
at least 50 m (150 ft), about twice the dis-
tance of a standard ski rope, from any po-
tential hazard.

Be alert to the hazard of the ski rope handle
snapping back at the watercraft when the
skier falls or is unable to get up on the skis.

Towing heavy or bulky objects other than
skiers, such as another boat or watercraft,
can cause loss of steering control and cre-
ate a hazardous condition. If you must tow
another boat in an emergency situation, op-
erate slowly and cautiously.

Watercraft operation
35
TIP:
If the remote control transmitter is operated
while the multifunction information center is in
the standby state, the center performs the ini-
tial operation, and then the setting is selected.
To activate the Low RPM Mode:
Push the “L-Mode” (unlock) button on the re-
mote control transmitter for more than 4 sec-
onds. Once the beeper sounds three times
and the “UNLOCK” indicator light blinks three
times, then comes on, the “L-MODE” indicator
light comes on and the Low RPM Mode is ac-
tivated.
TIP:
If the Low RPM Mode is activated immediate-
ly after the information display turns off, the
“L-MODE” indicator light will not come on. The
“L-MODE” indicator light will come on when
the engine is started.
To deactivate the Low RPM Mode:
Push the “L-Mode” (unlock) button on the re-
mote control transmitter for more than 4 sec-onds. Once the beeper sounds two times and
the “UNLOCK” indicator light blinks two times,
then comes on, the “L-MODE” indicator light
goes off and the Low RPM Mode is deactivat-
ed. When the Low RPM Mode is deactivated,
the watercraft returns to the normal operation
mode.
EJU37015No-wake mode
The no-wake mode is a function that main-
tains the engine speed at a fixed setting for
operating the watercraft at low speeds. This
function can be used only for forward opera-
tion of the watercraft.
TIP:
The no-wake mode can only be activated af-
ter 5 seconds have elapsed since starting the
engine.
Activating and deactivating the no-wake
mode
Activation of the no-wake mode will be con-
firmed by the number of beeps when the “NO-
WAKE MODE” switch is pushed, and by the
digital speedometer display of the multifunc-
tion information center. (See page 39 for infor-
mation on the multifunction information
center.)
TIP:
The beeps and the blinking digital speedome-
ter display also indicate the activation of the
cruise assist. (See page 36 for information on
the cruise assist.)
