DAILY PRE-OPERATION CHECKS Some of the following items may not have been previously covered in this guide, however they will be described in the MAINTENANCE or SPECIAL PROCE- DURES section. Please refer to these sections to have more detailed information WARNING Components inside engine compartment may be hot.
Hull Fuel Tank and Oil Reservoir Inspect hull for cracks or damage. With the watercraft horizontal, fill the fuel tank to specified level.

NOTE: To obtain maximum efficiency and control from the reverse, increase engine speed to slightly above idle. Too much RPM will create water tur- bulence and reduce reverse efficiency. GTX DI Models In reverse position, turn the handlebar in the opposite direction that you want to move the rear of the watercraft.
Page 44
Variable Trim System (if so equipped) The variable trim system (VTS) chang- es the angle of the jet pump nozzle to provide the operator with a fast, effec- tive system to compensate for load, thrust, riding position and water condi- tions.
WARNING Throttle should be applied and handlebar turned to change the di- rection of the watercraft. Steering efficiency will differ depending on the number of passengers, load, water conditions and environmen- tal factors such as the wind. Unlike a car, a watercraft needs some throttle to turn.
