How does a Jet Ski work?

1) How to Steer the watercraft:

Engine START/STOP button:

The engine START/STOP button is located on the left handlebar, and it must be pressed and maintained for 3 seconds to turn on the PWC.

1. START/STOP button

Throttle Lever:

The throttle lever on the RH handlebar electronically controls the engine speed. To increase or maintain watercraft speed, pull on the throttle lever with your finger. To decrease watercraft speed, release the throttle lever. The throttle lever is spring-loaded and should return to the rest position (idle)when not pressed.

2. To accelerate

3. To decelerate

Handlebar:

The handlebar controls the direction of the watercraft. During forward operation, turning the handlebar to the right steers the watercraft to the right and inversely. The jet pump nozzle, which controls the direction of the watercraft, pivots as the handlebar is turned. The watercraft will turn to the right if the handlebar is turned to the right, and the watercraft will turn to the left if the handlebar is turned to the left. To turn the watercraft, the throttle should be engaged.

WARNING

Directional control is reduced when the throttle is released and lost when the engine is off.

Engine Cut-Off:

The engine cut-off switch is located in the middle of the handlebar. Engine cut-off switch to allow engine starting, the tether cord cap must be securely snapped onto the engine cut-off switch.

To stop the engine, pull the tether cord cap from the engine cut-off switch.

1. Tether cord cap on the engine cut-off switch

2. Tether cord clip secured to operator's PFD

Safety equipment is required.

Both the operator and the passengers must wear a personal flotation device that is approved for PWC use. If driving conditions or personal preferences warrant it, the operator and passengers should have convenient access to waterproof glasses. Wind, water spray, and speed can cause a person's eyes to moisten and their vision to become blurry.

Protective Equipment Recommendations

Protective equipment, such as the lower half of a wetsuit or heavy, densely woven, close-fitting clothing that provides equal protection, must be worn by the operator and passengers of PWCs. Skinny motorcycle shorts, for example, would be inappropriate. It's also a good idea to wear shoes, gloves, and safety glasses or goggles. It is recommended that you wear some type of lightweight, flexible foot protection.

Personal Flotation Devices (PFD) are required to be used by everyone on a recreational boat.

In order to avoid collisions.

Keep an eye out for people, objects, and other watercraft at all times. Maintain a safe distance from people, objects, and other watercraft while operating defensively at safe speeds.

Avoid reckless maneuvers.

To avoid accidents, it is forbidden to break the caravan, circulate in a zigzag manner, overtake another jet ski, or change speed unexpectedly.

You will drive through mangrove canals.

When navigating through the mangrove canals, you must slow down because the speed limit is 4 knots or 8 kilometers, but you may see the animals of the Nichupté lagoon.
