Sea-doo 2006 3D RFI, Operator'S Manual

Page: 17 / 120

In shallow water, proceed with caution
and at very low speeds. Grounding
or abrupt stops may result in injury.
Debris may also be picked up and be
thrown rearward by the jet pump onto
people or property.
PWCs are not designed for night-time
operation.
Operator/Passenger
Awareness
Never turn handlebar while someone
is nearby rear of watercraft.
Keep
away from steering moving parts
(nozzle, linkage, etc.).
Never operate this watercraft with a
passenger onboard. This watercraft is
for one (1) operator only. No passen-
ger. There is no seat to accommodate
a passenger and he could lack stability
and be thrown off, leading to possible
severe injuries.
Do not start or operate the watercraft
if anyone is seated on the deck or
swim platform, or is nearby in the wa-
ter. Water and/or debris exiting jet
thrust nozzle can cause severe injury.
The operator should be properly stand-
ing or seated before starting or moving
the watercraft, and at all times when
watercraft is in motion.
Keep away from intake grate while en-
gine is on. Items such as long hair,
loose clothing, or PFD straps can be-
come entangled in moving parts re-
sulting in severe injury or drowning.
To prevent accidental starting, always
detach the safety lanyard from the wa-
tercraft during removal of any weeds
or debris from the intake grate.
It should be remembered that sun,
wind, alcohol, drugs, fatigue and ill-
ness, may impair your judgement and
reaction time.
On a PWC, never place your feet and
legs in the water to aid turning.
Maneuverability of the
Watercraft
Do not overload the watercraft or take
on a passenger. Overloading can af-
fect maneuverability, stability and per-
formance.
Avoid adding on accessories, or equip-
ment which may alter your control of
the watercraft.
Around or near docks or piers, ma-
neuver with great caution. When you
want to ride under a pier, only proceed
at very low speed and make sure you
have an adequate clearance.
Don’t forget: Ride smart from the
start and we all win!
