SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
Keep the tether cord attached to the
operators' PFD at all times and keep it
free from snagging on the handlebars
to help ensure the engine stops should
the operator fall off. After riding, re-
move the tether cord cap from the
engine cut-off switch to avoid unau-
thorized use by children or others. If
the operator falls off the watercraft
and the tether cord is not attached as
recommended, the watercraft engine
will not stop.
Ride within your limits and level of rid-
ing ability.
Avoid aggressive maneuvers to reduce
the risk of loss of control, ejection and
collision. Understand and respect the
performance of your watercraft.
Do not jump wakes or waves. Avoid
riding in very rough waters or practic-
ing extreme maneuvers like jumping
wakes or waves.
Respect no wake zones, the environ-
ment, and the rights of other users of
the waterways. As the operator and
owner of a PWC, you are responsible
for damage by the wake of your PWC.
Do not let anyone throw refuse over-
board.
Always ride responsibly and safely.
Use common sense and courtesy.
While your watercraft has the ca-
pacity of operating at high speeds, it
is strongly recommended that high
speed operation only be applied when
ideal conditions exist and are permit-
ted. Higher speed operation requires a
higher degree of skill and increases the
risk of severe injuries.
The forces generated on the body of
riders while turning, negotiating waves
or wakes, operating in choppy waters,
or falling off the watercraft, especially
at higher speeds, may cause injury in-
cluding the possibility of broken bones
or more serious bodily injuries. Re-
main flexible and avoid sharp turns.
PWCs are not designed for night-time
operation.
To prevent you and your passenger(s)
from being bounced and eventually be
ejected from the watercraft, reduce
your speed.
Before Getting Underway
For safety reasons and proper care, al-
ways perform the pre-ride inspection
as specified in your Operators Guide
before operating your watercraft.
Do not exceed the payload or pas-
senger capacities for your watercraft,
which are listed on the capacity plate
and in the specifications. Overloading
can affect maneuverability, stability
and performance. Also, heavy seas
reduce capacity. A payload or person
capacity plate is not an excuse for fail-
ure to use common sense or good
judgment.
Regularly inspect the PWC, the hull,
engine, safety equipment, and all other
boating gear and keep them in safe op-
erating condition.
Be sure you have the minimum re-
quired safety equipment, PFDs and
any additional gear needed for your
cruise.
Check that all lifesaving equipment, in-
cluding fire extinguisher, is in safe op-
erating condition and easily accessible.
Show all passengers where this equip-
ment is, and make sure they know how
to use it.
Keep an eye on the weather. Check lo-
cal weather broadcasts before depar-
ture. Be alert to changing conditions.
Keep accurate and up-to-date charts of
the boating area on board. Before get-
ting underway, check water conditions
in the planned boating area.
Keep enough fuel on board for the
planned trip. Always verify fuel level
before use and during the ride. Apply
the principle of 1/3 of the fuel to reach
your destination, 1/3 to return, and
keep 1/3 in reserve. Allow for changes
due to adverse weather or other de-
lays.
