Transporting
Before putting the watercraft on a trailer or
transporting it, be sure to put the shift lever
in the forward position (for VX Deluxe/VX
Cruiser). When transporting the watercraft
on a trailer, secure the tie downs to the trail-
er through the bow eye and stern eyes.
NOTICE: Do not attach ropes or tie
downs to any part of the watercraft other
than the bow eye and stern eyes to se-
cure the watercraft to the trailer. Other-
wise, the watercraft may be damaged.
Wrap the ropes or tie downs with towels
or rags where they touch the body of the
watercraft to avoid scratches or damage.
Do not transport the watercraft with the
shift lever in the reverse position. Other-
wise the reverse gate may hit an obsta-
cle, which could cause damage (for VX
Deluxe/VX Cruiser).
