trolling speed.

Tilt lever
The tilt lever is located in front of the glove
compartment and is used to adjust the tilt of
the handlebars.
To adjust the tilt, pull the tilt lever up, and then
move the handlebars up or down to the de-
sired position.
WARNING
EWJ00040
Never touch the tilt lever during opera-
tion, otherwise the handlebars may sud-
denly change position, which may lead
to an accident.
Make sure that the tilt lever returns to its
original position and that the handlebars
are locked in place after adjusting them,
otherwise the handlebars may suddenly
change position, which may lead to an
accident.

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 until it
stops.
WARNING
EWJ00030
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
down or stop the watercraft as it could
cause you to lose control, be ejected, or
impact the handlebars.
