Boating Safety - Glastron Boats User Manual

• Any defect caused by failure of the customer to provide
reasonable care and maintenance.
By signing the warranty registration card you, the new
owner, indicate an understanding of the terms and condi-
tions of the Limited Warranty. The warranty registration
card should be properly completed by the dealer, signed
by the new owner, and returned to us within fifteen (15)
days after the original purchase in order to validate the
warranty. Be sure to keep the Owner's Registration Card
for your records.
All boat manufacturers are required by The Federal Boat
Safety Act of 1971 to notify first time owners in the event
any defect is discovered "which creates a substantial risk
of personal injury to the public." In order for us to comply
with that law, if it becomes necessary, it is essential that
your warranty registration card with the owner's name,
address, and boat serial number be completed and mailed
to Glastron Boats, 700 W. River Road, Little Falls, MN
56345.
The limited warranty for your boat is transferable and can
be extended to the next purchaser for the remainder of the
warranty period by notifying Glastron Boats in writing within
15 days of the transfer, by using the warranty registration
transfer form found at the end of this manual. The transfer
request must be accompanied by a copy of the title/regis-
tration and the $250.00 transfer fee.

BOATING SAFETY

Your owner's manual uses five levels of advisory and haz-
ard statements to alert you to special information,
operating procedures or safety precautions. All statements
begin with a signal word to identify the importance of the
statement. Statement levels follow this order (increasing
importance):
Advisory Statements
Advisory statements forewarn conditions that effect equip-
ment operation, maintenance and servicing practices and
occur in two levels:
Level 1 - NOTE
Signals a general advisory statement that clarifies or
highlights a particular section of text.
Level 2 - IMPORTANT
Used to signal the possibility of damage to equipment
or associated components.
Hazard Statements
This symbol means "pay attention!" Here is impor-
!
tant information for your safety. If you don't follow
these instructions, you can damage your boat, hurt
yourself or someone else or, even worse, have a
fatal accident.
The use of hazard statements is determined by the likely
consequence of the warning with regard to severity (minor
injury, severe injury, death), and the probability of severity
(COULD result in, WILL result in).
