Cruising limitations
●Scan constantly for people, objects, and
other watercraft. Be alert for conditions
that limit your visibility or block your vision
of others.
●Operate defensively at safe speeds and
keep a safe distance away from people,
objects, and other watercraft.
●Do not follow directly behind watercraft or
other boats.
●Do not go near others to spray or splash
them with water.
●Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers
that make it hard for others to avoid you or
understand where you are going.
●Avoid areas with submerged objects or
shallow water.
●Ride within your limits and avoid aggres-
sive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss
of control, ejection, and collision.
●This is a high performance boat—not a
toy. Sharp turns or jumping wakes or
waves can increase the risk of back/spinal
injury (paralysis), facial injuries, and bro-
ken legs, ankles and other bones. Do not
jump wakes or waves.
●Do not operate the watercraft in rough
water, bad weather or when visibility is
poor; this may lead to an accident caus-
ing injury or death. Be alert to the possi-
bility of adverse weather. Take note of
weather forecasts and the prevailing
weather conditions before setting out on
your watercraft.
●As with any water sport, you should not
ride your watercraft without someone else
near by. If you ride further than swimming
distance from shore, you should ride by
another boat or watercraft, but make sure
you stay a safe distance away. It’s good
common sense!
●Never operate in water that is less than
60 cm (2 ft) deep, otherwise you increase
your chance of hitting a submerged
object, which could result in injury.

Quick Shift Trim System
(QSTS) selector
The QSTS selector 1 is located at the
left handlebar grip and is used to adjust the
trim angle of the watercraft.
Operating the QSTS selector changes the
angle of the jet thrust nozzle vertically. This
changes the trim angle of the watercraft.
There are 5 positions: 2 bow down posi-
tionsA and B, neutral “N,” and 2 bow up
positionsC and D.
To change the trim angle:
1. Reduce engine speed to 3,000 r/min or
less.
2. Squeeze the shift lock lever 2, and then
turn the QSTS selector to the desired
position.
3. Release the shift lock lever to lock the
QSTS selector.
CAUTION:
Do not turn the QSTS selector while
operating the watercraft at full throttle,
otherwise damage could occur to the
QSTS.
The neutral “N” position will provide good
performance for most operating conditions.
To enhance particular types of perfor-
mance, select bow down or bow up.

PADLOC (Programmable
digital locking ignition)
This feature is provided to deter unautho-
rized use.
The function allows you to choose either
“START” or “LOCK” mode, as the situation
requires, much as you would use an ignition
key in a motor vehicle. If you have previously
chosen “LOCK” mode, the engine will not
start unless the right code is put in to select
“START” mode.
NOTE:
If you do not use the PADLOC system, it is
unnecessary to perform the initial setting of
the PADLOC. In this case, the “START”
mode is automatically selected.
PADLOC initial setting
1. Remove the cover 1 in the front storage
compartment. Disconnect the blue con-
nector2 behind the front storage com-
partment.
2. After the warning light turns on, press
the “MODE” button for at least 3 seconds
until the display shows “COdE.” You are
ready to set your code.
