Operation
52
(4) Continue to pull your body up onto the
watercraft as the watercraft speed in-
creases.
(5) Bring your knees up onto the riding tray
and change to a kneeling position as
soon as you can do so.
(6) Move as far forward as possible without
interfering with the movement of the han-
dlebars. Keep your body perpendicular
to the water, with your weight forward
and low.
(7) Once the bow drops, and the watercraft
has leveled out in the water and reached
planing speed, back off the throttle and
select your desired speed.
TIP:
The watercraft will become easier to bal-
ance as the speed increases, because jet
thrust provides stability as well as direc-
tional control.
It will take longer for a heavy operator to
reach planing speed than it will for a light
operator.
