proximately 110 m (360 ft) after the throttle le-
ver is released or the engine is stopped,
although this distance will vary depending on
many factors, including gross weight, water
surface conditions, and wind direction.
If the RiDE lever is squeezed to slow down,
the stopping distance is approximately 30%
shorter than when the RiDE lever is not used.
However, this distance will vary depending
on many factors, including gross weight, wa-
ter surface conditions, and wind direction.
WARNING
EWJ01791
Allow adequate stopping distance.
Take early action to avoid collisions. Re-
member, watercraft and other boats do
not have brakes.
Operate defensively at safe speeds and
keep a safe distance away from people,
objects, and other watercraft to give you
time to stop.
Do not shut the engine off when slowing
down in case you need engine power to
steer away from a boat or other obstacle
that comes into your path.
To avoid rear-end collisions while oper-
ating the watercraft, check behind you
before using the RiDE lever to slow
down or stop the watercraft.
EJU43443Operating the watercraft in reverse or
neutral
Operating in reverse
When the RiDE lever is squeezed, the “R” (re-
verse) shift indicator will be displayed and the
watercraft will move in reverse. (See page 31
for shift system operation procedures.)
Make sure that there are no obstacles or peo-
ple behind you before shifting into reverse.
TIP:
This model is equipped with a function which
limits the engine speed in reverse.
Operating in neutral
When the RiDE lever is squeezed lightly and
released, the “N” (neutral) shift indicator will
be displayed and the watercraft will stop in its
110 m (360 ft)
