2. GENERAL WARNING:
Like any sport, water Scooter Surf involves risk of serious injury or death and damage. By choosing to ride a water Scooter surf, you
assume the responsibility for that risk, so you need to know
—
and to practice
—
the rules of safe and responsible riding and of
proper use and maintenance. Proper use and maintenance of your water Scooter surf reduces risk of injury.
This Manual contains many
“
Warnings
”
and
“
Cautions
”
concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or inspect your Scooter
surf and of failure to follow safe Scooter Surf practices. The
SAFETY
alert word or symbol
and the word
WARNING
indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or is an alert against unsafe practices.
•
The word CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious
damage to the Scooter surf
or the voiding of your warranty. Many of the Warnings and Cautions say “you may lose control and
fall”.
Because any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not always repeat the warning of possible injury or death.
Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition which can occur while riding, this Manual makes no representation
about the safe use of the Scooter surf under all conditions. There are risks associated with the use of any water Scooter surf which
cannot be predicted or avoided, and which are the sole responsibility of the water rider.
IMPORTANT:
This manual contains important safety, performance and service information. Read it before you take the first ride on your new
water Scooter surf, and keep it for reference.
Additional safety, performance and service information for specific components on your water Scooter surf, or for accessories that
you
purchase, may also be available. Make sure that your seller or dealer has given you all the manufacturers’ literature that wa
s
included with your water Scooter surf or accessories. In case of a conflict between the instructions in this manual and information
provided by a component manufacturer, always follow
the component manufacturer’s
instructions.
If you have any questions or do not understand something, take responsibility for your safety and consult with our Red Shark
