Make sure that the rope is not looped
around anything.
After checking that the skier is ready and
that there is no traffic or other obstacles, ap-
ply enough throttle to raise the skier.
Make smooth, wide turns. The watercraft is
●
capable of very sharp turns, which could ex-
ceed the abilities of the skier. Keep the skier
at least 50 m (164 ft), about twice the dis-
tance of a standard ski rope, from any po-
tential hazard.
Be alert to the hazard of the ski rope handle
●
snapping back at the watercraft when the
skier falls or is unable to get up on the skis.
Towing heavy or bulky objects other than
●
skiers, such as another boat or watercraft,
can cause loss of steering control and cre-
ate a hazardous condition. If you must tow
another boat in an emergency situation, op-
erate slowly and cautiously.
