Safety information
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,
apply enough throttle to raise the skier.
Make smooth, wide turns. The watercraft is

capable of very sharp turns, which could
exceed the abilities of the skier. Keep the
skier at least 50 m (164 ft), about twice the
distance of a standard ski rope, from any
potential 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,
operate slowly and cautiously.
