Watercraft operation
30
Do not touch the reverse gate while the
RiDE lever is being operated, otherwise
you could be pinched.
If the RiDE lever and throttle lever are
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
engine is running. When the RiDE lever is
squeezed, the reverse gate lowers and de-
flects the water jet being discharged from the
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
which limits the engine speed in reverse.
When the engine is started, the reverse
gate automatically moves to the neutral po-
sition.
To shift into reverse:
(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 inreverse, and the “R” (reverse) shift indi-
cator will be displayed.
To shift into neutral from reverse:
Release the RiDE lever. The reverse gate will
automatically return to the neutral position

To switch the speedometer display units
again, repeat this procedure.
EJU44650Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed.
TIP:
While the engine is stopped, the battery volt-
age and the total engine hours are displayed
alternately.
EJU43891Shift indicator (EX Deluxe)
This indicator shows the reverse gate shift
positions: “F” (forward), “N” (neutral), and “R”
(reverse). (See page 29 for shifting proce-
dures.)
EJU44700Hour meter and voltmeter
The hour meter and voltmeter are displayed
in the tachometer portion of the information
display while the engine is stopped.
