Control function operation
26
The throttle lever returns automatically to its
fully closed (idle) position when released.
EJU43342RiDE lever
When the RiDE lever is squeezed, the reverse
gate lowers and the watercraft starts moving
in reverse. If the watercraft is moving forward,
the watercraft gradually slows down until it
stops, and then the watercraft starts moving
in reverse.
When the RiDE lever is released, it automati-
cally returns to its fully closed (idle) position
and the reverse gate moves to the neutral po-
sition.
EJU31262Steering system
By turning the handlebars in the direction you
wish to travel, the angle of the jet thrust noz-
zle is changed, and the direction of the water-
craft is changed accordingly.Since the strength of the jet thrust determines
the speed and degree of a turn, throttle must
always be applied when attempting a turn,
except at trolling speed.
This model is equipped with the Yamaha En-
gine Management System (YEMS) that in-
cludes an off-throttle steering (OTS) system.
It will activate at planing speeds should you
attempt to steer the watercraft after releasing
the throttle lever. The OTS system assists in
turning by continuing to supply some thrust
while the watercraft is decelerating, but you
can turn more sharply if you apply throttle
while turning the handlebars. The OTS sys-
tem does not function below planing speeds
or when the engine is off. Once the engine
slows down, the watercraft will no longer turn
in response to handlebar input until you apply
throttle again or you reach trolling speed.
EJU31294Adjustable tilt steering system
The position of the handlebars can be adjust-
ed back and forth by operating the tilt lever.
To adjust the handlebar position:
(1) Pull the tilt lever up to disengage the han-
dlebar lock, and then move the handle-
bars back or forth to the desired position.
WARNING! Never pull the tilt lever dur- ing operation, otherwise the handle-
