Boating Safety
• Keep track of tow lines and dock lines so that they do not
become entangled in the propeller. A tow line will wrap
quickly around a spinning propeller and is capable of
immobilizing the boat and dragging a person entangled in
the tow line underwater or causing amputations. Shut off the
engine if a tow line has potential for wrapping in the
propeller.
• The tower is designed to pull a limited number of
individual(s), and in some cases only one (1) individual.
Please consult the remainder of this manual and warning
labels on the tower for details. DO NOT climb, sit on, stand
on or jump/dive off of the tower. Tow line may loop on
inverted tricks. DO NOT sit behind the pulling point of the
tower.
• NEVER allow any type of spark or open flame on board. It
may result in fire or explosion.
• Avoid grounding the boat: be familiar with local conditions
and water depth. If you are uncertain, then proceed slowly
with caution. Sudden groundings from planing speeds may
cause rapid decelerations and cause occupants to impact the
boat and/or to be ejected from the boat. Boat damage may
also occur.
• Always watch for low obstacles such as tree limbs, bridges or
power lines, especially in boats with tow towers.
• Seek shelter from open water if there is threat of lightning
or severe weather.
• NEVER dive from the boat without being absolutely sure of
the depth of the water. Severe injury or death may occur
from striking the bottom or submerged objects. Striking the
bottom or a submerged object while diving head first can
cause paralysis, head injury or death.
• Provide assistance to other boaters in distress while ensuring
the safety of your own passengers.
• When you leave the boat, take the keys with you. This will
keep untrained and unauthorized persons from operating
the boat. (This may not be applicable on some keyless
ignition systems.)
