BOATING WITH PASSENGERS

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.
Your boat is designed for one opera-
tor and up to nine passengers only.
Never have more than ten people in
the boat. Passengers must sit in one
of the seats and hold onto the grips.
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 obstructed.

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
nozzles.
• 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.
• Stay away from the swim step
while the engines are running.
Exhaust gases coming from
underneath it contain carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odor-
less gas which may cause brain
damage or death when inhaled.
Symptoms include nausea, diz-
ziness, and drowsiness.
