SAFETY
Operator Safety
Do not tow! Only three- and four-passenger models may tow water
skiers, kneeboards or other objects or persons behind the watercraft.
Towing can cause loss of steering control and will create a hazardous
condition that could result in severe injury or death.
Three- or four-passenger models are capable of towing. However,
towing can cause reduced steering control. Be extremely careful when
towing other watercraft, skiers or objects behind this watercraft, as they
have a significant impact on handling and steering. Observe local and
state laws regarding water skiing and towing.
Do not allow passengers to stand on the boarding platform while the
watercraft is running or in motion. Passengers should always remain
seated.
Never travel over a ski jump or attempt to jump waves, wakes or other
objects in the water. Doing so may severely damage the watercraft and
cause personal injury due to the hard impact, a temporary loss of
visibility, possible loss of control and reduced reaction time.
Always securely attach the lanyard cord (1)
to the operator's left wrist or PFD before
starting the watercraft. If the operator
falls off, the engine will immediately
lose power.
Be sure the lanyard is free and not
wrapped around the handlebars or
1
controls. When the watercraft is not
in service, disconnect the lanyard from
the engine stop switch to prevent accidental
starting of the engine.
