Carbon Monoxide (CO) Safety
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. It is
produced by gasoline engines and is a component of exhaust
fumes.
Shut off the engine when people are on the swim platform or
in the water around the rear of the boat.
Do not do any activities which put people in close proximity
of the transom when the engine is running.
For the most current information on carbon monoxide, you
may call, write or visit on-line any of the following:

Product Misuse
Misuse of the product or use of it in a manner for which it was
never intended can create dangerous situations. The driver and
passengers are responsible for using the product safely and as
intended. The driver must operate the boat in a manner that
ensures the safety of all passengers. If you or your passengers
are unsure about use of the product, about performing certain
boating maneuvers or are unsure about a particular water
activity, refer to this manual or contact a knowledgeable source
such as your local dealer, Skier’s Choice, Inc., the US Coast Guard,
or your local boating authority.
Skiing Safety
Skiers are obligated to be as aware of the fundamental safety
rules as well as the boat operator. If you are new to water
skiing, seek certified training before starting. You will find it
especially helpful to join a local ski club and USA Waterski when
possible.
Always remember that the majority of water skiing injuries are
the result of impacts with other objects, so always look where
you are going and be aware of what is going on around you.
Ski Pylon Extensions
The use of a ski pylon extension or extensions in excess of 7-feet
vertical is not recommended by Moomba on our products. If
you elect to use merchandise such as these, be aware that they
could create excessive stress on your boat and subjectively
cause damages not covered by the warranty.
Failure to adhere to these warnings may result in severe
injury or death to you and/or others.
Every skier must always wear a USCG-approved personal
flotation device.
Maintain a distance of at least 100 feet from all other objects,
including other boats, piers, rafts, mooring and navigational
buoys, pilings, abutments, or any other items.
Always have an experienced driver and observer in the boat
when skiing.
Never ski in shallow water, close to shore, or in water
where you do not know the depth or what is beneath the
surface.
Never put your arm, head, or any other part of your body
through the handle-bridle of the ski line nor wrap the line
around any part of the body at any time.
Never ski at night, or directly in front of other boats.
Never jump from a boat that is moving at any speed, nor
enter or exit the water when the engine is running (ON).
Make sure that everyone knows and uses approved skiing
hand signals and common skiing courtesy.
