Important Safety Information!
Your safety, as well as the safety of others with and around
you, is a direct result of how you operate and maintain your
boat. Read and comprehend this manual. Make sure that

before attempting to operate the boat. Improper operation
is extremely dangerous.
The basic safety rules are outlined in this section of the
manual. Additional precautions throughout the manual are
noted by the following symbols.
This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous circumstance,
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

This is limited to the most extreme situations.
The precautions listed in this manual and on the boat
are not all-inclusive. If a procedure, method, tool or
part is not specifically recommended by Skier's Choice,
you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and
others, and that the boat will not be damaged or made
unsafe as a result of your decision.
REMEMBER: ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN
OPERATING, SERVICING OR REPAIRING THE BOAT!
In addition to everyday safety, failure to observe safety
recommendations may result in severe personal injury or
death to you or to others. Use caution and common sense
when operating your boat. Don't take unnecessary chances!
Be certain that all boat passengers are aware of this
information and conform to boat safety principles.
