Turning the handlebar pivots the jet
pump nozzle which controls the wa-
tercraft direction. Turning the handle-
bar to the right will turn the watercraft
to the right and inversely. The throttle
must be applied to turn the watercraft.
Directional control is lost when
the throttle is closed. Throttle
must be applied and handlebar
turned to change the direction of
the watercraft. Steering efficien-
cy will differ with carrying loads
and water conditions.
The more the throttle is applied while
turning the handlebar, the sharper the
turn will be.
The watercraft behaves differently
with a passenger and requires greater
skill. The passenger should always
3
grip the seat strap or grab handle. Re-
duce speed and avoid sharp turns.
Avoid choppy water conditions when
carrying a passenger.

Boarding from a Dock or
in Shallow Water
As with any craft, getting aboard
should be done carefully.
When boarding from a dock, slowly
place one foot on the watercraft floor-
board nearest the dock and, at the
same time, transfer the body weight
to the other side in order to balance
the watercraft while holding the han-
dlebar. Then, bring the other foot over
the seat and put it on the other floor-
board. Push the watercraft away from
the dock.
