information on how to help protect others and yourself
from the dangers of CO poisoning
Use caution and common sense.
Your equipment and your tow rope:
Inspect all equipment prior to use. Check tube and
attachment point and flotation device prior to each use.
Do not use if damaged.
Always wear a U.S. Coast Guard Type III (PFD) vest.
Ropes should be attached to the watercraft in an
approved fashion with hardware designed for pulling.
Refer to your watercraft manual for instructions on proper
tow rope attachment.
Tow ropes stretch during use. If a rope breaks or is
suddenly released, it can snap back into the watercraft.
Warn all riders and occupants of the danger of the rope
recoil.
When in the boat, keep away from the tow rope to avoid
injury. Passengers can be hit or become entangled in the
rope.
Inspect tow rope and its attachments before using. Do
not use tow rope if frayed, knotted or damaged. Replace
when signs of excessive deterioration are indicated by
discoloration, broken filaments, unraveling or other
obvious signs of wear on the rope or hardware.
Use proper tow rope for the activity.
Ensure rope is clear of all body parts prior to starting out
or during use.
Keep persons and ropes away from propeller when
engine is running, even in neutral. Should rope become
entangled in propeller, SHUT OFF ENGINE AND
REMOVE IGNITION KEY BEFORE RETRIEVING ROPE.
