Make sure that there are no obstacles or
people behind you before shifting into
reverse.
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 reversegate will lower, the engine speed will in-
crease, the watercraft will start moving in reverse, 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

EJU45930Cruise assist
The cruise assist is a function for maintaining
a desired engine speed within a fixed range
while operating the watercraft. Once the
cruise assist is activated, the set engine
speed can be increased or decreased. How-
ever, the adjustment is limited to a maximum
of five increments above or below the initial
cruise assist setting.
TIP
The cruise assist can only be set between en-
gine speeds of approximately 3000 r/min and
approximately 7000 r/min.
Activating and deactivating the cruise as-
sist
Activation of the cruise assist can be con-
firmed by the cruise assist indicator on the
multifunction information center.
To activate the cruise assist:
(1) Operate the throttle lever until the de-sired engine speed is reached.
(2) When the engine speed reaches the de- sired cruise assist setting, push the
“CRUISE/NO WAKE” switch. Once the
beeper sounds three times and the
cruise assist indicator is displayed, the
cruise assist is activated. (3) When the cruise assist is activated, slow-
ly squeeze the throttle lever to keep it
squeezed further than the position at
which the cruise assist was set.
TIP
Check the multifunction information center to
make sure that the cruise assist is activated
before squeezing the throttle lever to the full
throttle position. If the cruise assist is not ac-
tivated, the engine will respond normally to
the throttle operation.
(4) Once the cruise assist is activated, pushthe upper side of the “SPEED ADJUST”
switch to increase the set engine speed
or the lower side of the “SPEED AD-
JUST” switch to decrease the set engine
speed. The engine speed can be
changed in the range of the cruise assist
levels –5 to +5.
