• Make sure the engine is properly tuned and running well. An improperly tuned engine produces excessive exhaust and CO.
• I
f you smell engine exhaust, do not stay in that position.
• Go to the United States Coast Guard's website: www.uscgboating.org for more information on how to help protect yourself and others from
the dangers of CO.
Tow Ropes: Tow ropes come in di erent lengths and strengths for di erent activities. Make sure any rope you are using is suited for skiing or
riding and that it is in good condition.
• Never use a rope that is frayed, knotted, unraveling or discolored from use or being left in the sun. If a rope breaks while in use, it can recoil at
the skier/rider being towed or into the watercraft where it might strike passengers. Replace tow ropes with any sign of damage.
• Never use a tow rope with elastic or bungee material to pull skiers or riders.
• Rope should be attached to the watercraft in an approved fashion with hardware designed for towing. Refer to you watercraft manual for
instructions on proper tow rope attachment.
• Always keep people and tow ropes away from the propeller, even when idling.
• If a tow rope should become entangled in a propeller, shut o the engine, remove the key and put it in your pocket before retrieving the rope.
Preparing to ski or ride: Always have a person other than the driver as an observer to look out for the skier/rider.
• BE sure the driver is aware of the experience and ability level of the skier/rider.
• The driver, observer and skier/rider need to agree on hand signals before skiing or riding. Signals should include READY, STOP, SPEED UP, and
SLOW DOWN.
• Start the engine only after making sure that no one in the water is near the propeller.
• Turn the engine o when people are getting into or out of the watercraft, or in the water near the watercraft.
• Always make sure the tow rope is not wrapped around anyone's hands, arms, legs, or other parts of the body.
• Start the watercraft and move slowly to remove slack until the tow rope is tight.
• When the skier/rider signals READY and there is no tra c ahead, take o in a straight line. Adjust the speed according to the signals given by
the skier/rider.
