Product Misuse - Supra Sunsport 20V Owner's Manual

Skiing Safety
Skiers are obligated to be as aware of the fundamental safety
rules as well as the boat operator. If you are new to water
skiing, seek certified training before starting. You will find it
especially helpful to join a local ski club and USA Waterski when
possible.
Always remember that the majority of water skiing injuries are
the result of impacts with other objects, so always look where
you are going and be aware of what is going on around you.
Failure to adhere to these warnings may result in severe injury
or death to you and/or others.
• Every skier must always wear a USCG-approved personal
flotation device.
• Maintain a distance of at least 100 feet from all other objects,
including other boats, piers, rafts, mooring and navigational
buoys, pilings, abutments, or any other items.
• Always have an experienced driver and observer in the boat
when skiing.
• Never ski in shallow water, close to shore, or in water where
you do not know the depth or what is beneath the surface.
• Never put your arm, head, or any other part of your body
through the handle-bridle of the ski line nor wrap the line
around any part of the body at any time.
• Never ski at night, or directly in front of other boats.
• Never jump from a boat that is moving at any speed, nor enter
or exit the water when the engine is running (ON).
• Make sure that everyone knows and uses approved skiing
hand signals and common skiing courtesy.
