Operation
83
From full speed, the watercraft comes to a
complete stop due to water resistance in ap-
proximately 70 m (230 ft) after the throttle le-
ver is released or the engine is stopped,
although this distance will vary depending on
many factors, including gross weight, water
surface conditions, and wind direction.
VX / VX DELUXE / VX CRUISER / VX
LIMITED: If the RiDE lever is squeezed to slow down, the stopping distance is approxi-
mately 30% shorter than when the RiDE lever
is not used. However, this distance will vary
depending on many factors, including gross
weight, water surface conditions, and wind
direction.
EWJ01793
Allow adequate stopping distance. Stay
far enough away from others so you can
always safely coast to a stop.
Take early action to avoid collisions. Re-
member, watercraft and other boats do
not have brakes.
Operate defensively at safe speeds and
keep a safe distance away from people,
objects, and other watercraft to give you
time to stop.
Do not shut the engine off when slowing
down in case you need engine power to
steer away from a boat or other obstacle
that comes into your path.
VX / VX DELUXE / VX CRUISER / VX
LIMITED: To avoid rear-end collisions while operating the watercraft, check
behind you before using the RiDE lever
to slow down or stop the watercraft.
EJU43446Operating the watercraft in reverse or
neutral (VX / VX DELUXE /
VX CRUISER / VX LIMITED)
Operating in reverse
When the RiDE lever is squeezed, the “R” (re-
verse) shift indicator will be displayed and the

EJU36087Boarding the watercraftEWJ01112
Be sure the operator and any passengers
have practiced boarding from the water
while still close to shore before riding. A
person who has made many unsuccessful
attempts to get back on the watercraft
may become fatigued and suffer from ex-
posure, increasing the risk of injury and
drowning.
Board the watercraft in water free from
weeds and debris and at least 60 cm (2 ft)
deep from the bottom of the watercraft.
NOTICE: Never run the engine in water
that is less than 60 cm (2 ft) deep from the
bottom of the watercraft, otherwise peb-
bles or sand could be sucked into the jet
