Shift lever

The shift lever is located on the starboard
(right) side of the watercraft and is used to
control the reverse gate, which allows the wa-
tercraft to move in reverse or forward.
When the shift lever is in the reverse position,
the watercraft can be launched from a trailer,
or backed up out of tight spots where you can-
not turn around easily.
To shift into reverse:
(1) Release the throttle lever and let the en-
gine speed return to idle.
(2) Pull the shift lever toward you.

WARNING
Make sure that the throttle lever is com-

pletely released and that the engine is at
idle before shifting into reverse.
Do not use the reverse function to slow
G
down or stop the watercraft as it could
cause you to lose control, be ejected, or
impact the handlebars.
Use reverse for slow-speed maneuver-
G
ing only.
Make sure that there are no obstacles or
G
people behind you before shifting into
reverse.
