●
Attach the engine shut-off cord (lanyard)
to wrist and keep it free from the handle-
bars so that the engine stops if the opera-
tor falls off. After riding, remove the
engine shut-off cord from the watercraft to
avoid accidental starting or unauthorized
use by children or others.
●
Scan carefully for swimmers, and stay
away from swimming areas. Swimmers
are hard to see and you could acciden-
tally hit someone in the water.
●
Avoid being hit by another boat! You
should always take the responsibility to
watch for traffic; other boaters may not be
watching for you. If they do not see you,
or you maneuver more quickly than other
boaters expect, you risk a collision.
●
Maintain a safe distance from other boats
or watercraft, and also watch for boats' ski
ropes or fishing lines. Obey the "Safe
boating rules" and be sure to check
behind you before making a turn. (See
Safe boating rules on page 1-14.)
