Avoid operation in these conditions. If
you must do so, proceed with caution
using minimum speed.

1. The operator must grip the handle-
bar firmly and keep both feet on
the footboards.
2. The passenger must grip the
handholds with both hands and
keep both feet on the footboards.
3. Reduce speed.
4. Always be prepared to steer and
maintain
necessary.
5. When going over waves, raise
your body slightly off the seat to
absorb the shocks with your legs.
6. When crossing wakes, always
keep a safe distance from water-
craft ahead.

When the throttle is released, the
watercraft is slowed by water drag
against the hull. The stopping dis-
tance will vary depending on the
watercraft size, weight, speed, water
surface condition, presence and direc-
tion of wind and current.
The iBR system can also be used for
slowing down or for stopping more
quickly, and for increasing maneuver-
ability especially when docking.
The operator should practice in open
waters at various speeds to become
familiarized with the stopping distan-
ces under different conditions. Stop-
ping using the iBR system in a straight
line and in a turn should be practiced
extensively to become familiar with
the handling characteristics of the
watercraft under partial or full braking
conditions.
