Page 12: Preface
It has been written for the beginning boater but experienced boaters will find helpful information as well. Be sure to read the contents thoroughly. This manual will acquaint you with the use and maintenance of your new Four Winns boat. This manual also pro vides special information critical to the safety of the passengers, and longevity of the equipment. The infor- mation on the following page lists the graphics used to increase the visibility of these important messages. -
Page 13: Safety Messages
Safety Messages The popularity of boating and other water sports has grown tremendously in the past few years. Because of this, safety is an important issue for everyone who shares our waterways. Remember that along with the freedom and exhilaration of boating comes the responsibility that you have for the safety of your passengers and the other boaters who share the water with you. Throughout this manual, specific precautions and symbols identify safety-related information. - Page 14 We’d also like to remind you to be kind to our environment while you’re boating. Don’t throw garbage and other refuse overboard. Do your best to keep harmful compounds like gasoline, oil and antifreeze out of the water.
