S Sp pe ee ed diin ng g
Speeding While your watercraft has
the capacity of operating at high
speeds, it is strongly recommended
that high-speed operation only be ap-
plied when ideal conditions exist and
are permitted. 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.
R Re eb bo oa arrd diin ng g
Reboarding Operator and passenger
(s) need to know how to swim and
how to reboard the PWC from the
water. Boarding in deep water can be
strenuous.
Also, make sure you and all passen-
gers know how to reboard when ac-
cessories are installed at the rear.
Board the watercraft from the rear and
carefully get around the accessories.
If you have difficulties, you should
know how to remove the accessories
and move them towards the front to
provide better access to the boarding
platform.
If the accessories are too heavy, swim
toward the side, use passenger hand-
hold and/or seat strap to lift yourself
aboard.
Ask inexperienced riders to practice
how to board the watercraft close to
shore (all methods explained here)
before venturing into deep water, es-
pecially
when cargo is installed
aboard on the rear platform.
To prevent accidental starting, always
detach the tether cord from the engine
cut-off switch when passenger (s)
swimmers are boarding.
M Mo ovviin ng g P Pa arrttss
Never turn handlebar while someone
is near the rear of watercraft. Keep
away from steering moving parts (noz-
zle, iBR gate, linkages, etc.).
Keep away from the intake grate while
the engine is running. Items such as
long hair, loose clothing, or PFD
straps can become entangled in mov-
ing parts.
Be aware of the iBR gate movement
when starting the engine, shutting
down the engine or using the iBR lev-
er. Automatic movement of the gate
may squeeze fingers or toes of people
taking a hold on the back or your
PWC.
K Kn no ow w tth he e W Wa atte errss
Know the waters in which the water-
craft is to be operated.
Current, tides, rapids, hidden ob-
stacles, wakes and waves, etc., can
affect safe operation. It is not advis-
able to operate the watercraft in rough
waters or inclement weather. Keep an
eye on the weather. Check local
weather broadcasts before departure.
Be alert to changing conditions.
Keep accurate and up-to-date charts
of the boating area on board. Before
getting underway, check water condi-
tions in the planned boating area.
Ensure there is 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 delays.
In shallow water, proceed with caution
and at very low speeds. Grounding or
abrupt stops may result in injury and
watercraft damage. Debris may also
be picked up and thrown rearward by
the jet pump onto people.
