BOATING WITH PASSENGERS

When one or more passengers are on
board, the boat may handle differently,
so operating it requires a higher degree
of skill.
Remember: Your Jet Boat is designed
for one operator and up to four pas-
sengers only. Never have more than
five people in the Jet Boat. Passengers
should sit so the weight in the boat is
balanced from side to side as much as
possible. If the passenger seat in front
of the helm is used, be sure the opera-
tor's view ahead is not obstructed.
Passengers must sit in one of the seats
and hold onto the grips while putting
both feet on the deck.
WARNING
When passengers are on board,
make sure they are seated and hold-
ing on before you start to acceler-
ate. An unprepared passenger could
lose balance and fall.

BOARDING FROM THE WATER

WARNING
Strong streams of water from the jet
nozzles can be dangerous, and can
result in serious injury when directed
at body orifices (rectum and vagina).
● Do not board from the rear, use
swim platform, or swim behind
boat if engines are running.
● Stay away from the back of the
boat when engines are running.
________________
________________
1) Be sure engines are off, then move
to the stern of the boat. Put a foot on
the rear boarding step and grab the
boarding handles in the swim plat-
form.
2) Climb up onto the swim platform,
then climb over the engine hatch
and sit in one of the seats provided.
CAUTION:
Do not use control levers as grab
handles because damage can occur.
