WARNING
Do not pull the throttle levers
back to idle when trying to steer
away from objects – you need
throttle to steer.
Be sure passengers are holding
on before making turns. An
unprepared passenger could lose
balance and fall.

BOATING WITH PASSENGERS

When one or more passengers are on
board, the boat may handle differently,
so operating it requires a higher degree
of skill.
Remember: Your boat is designed for
one operator and up to six passengers
only. Never have more than seven peo-
ple in the boat. Passengers should sit
so the weight in the boat is balanced
from side-to-side and bow-to-stern as
much as possible. If the passenger seat
in front of the helm is used, be sure the
operator's view ahead is not obstruct-
ed.
Passengers must sit in one of the seats
and hold onto the grips while putting
both feet on the deck.
WARNING
When passengers are on board,
make sure they are seated and hold-
ing on before you start to accelerate.
An unprepared passenger could
lose balance and fall.

BOARDING FROM THE WATER

WARNING
Severe internal injuries can occur if
water is forced into body cavities as a
result of being near the jet thrust noz-
zles.
Do not board from the rear, use
swim platform, or swim behind
boat if engines are running.
Stay away from the back of the
boat when engines are running.
