WARNING
ACCIDENTALLY STEPPING INTO THE UPPER STATION
ACCESS HATCH OPENING CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY
TO THE OPERATOR OR CREW. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE
UPPER STATION ACCESS HATCH IS CLOSED AND LATCHED
WHENEVER PEOPLE ARE IN THE UPPER STATION.
The upper station seats are equipped with a flip up
bolster to provide more room between the seats
and the helm. The bolsters convert the seats to
a leaning post style seat with a backrest allowing
the operator and passenger to sit or stand at the
helm. To convert each seat to a leaning post, lift
the front of the seat cushion to raise the bolster
and push it back above the seat cushion.
Do not overload the upper station. Do not over-
load the tower. Refer to the tower capacity label
which specifies the maximum weight which is 600
lbs. Weight in the upper station raises the boat’s
center of gravity. Too much weight could make
the boat unstable or damage the frame. Refer to
the Operation chapter for information on the safe
operation of the boat from the upper helm.
WARNING
TO AVOID INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE TOWER, ALWAYS
OPERATE WITHIN THE BOUNDARY OF THE 2ND STATION
RAILS. THE AREAS OUTSIDE OF THE RAILING ARE NOT
DESIGNED FOR STANDING OR WALKING.
