OPERATION
Safe Operation
Load Limit
The heavier the combined weight of operator and passenger, the more
difficult it is to balance the watercraft while boarding. The combined
weight of operator and passenger should never exceed the
recommended weight. Check page 8 for your boat's load limit.
During boarding the passenger should steady the watercraft while the
operator boards. The operator can then help balance it while the
passenger boards.
Rough Water Operation And Jumping
Whenever possible avoid riding in rough water and/or adverse
weather conditions. Riding the watercraft in these conditions could
cause loss of control which could result in injury or death to the
operator and/or passenger.
The watercraft should not be
used to jump waves. It is not
recommended (and is illegal in
some states) to operate the
watercraft in or near the surf line.
When riding in rough conditions
it is possible for the operator to
hit his/her chest or face on the
watercraft or handlebars and be
injured. It is also possible to be
thrown from the watercraft in
rough conditions which could
make it difficult to get back to
and re-board the watercraft.
