SAFETY WARNING
General
To fully appreciate the pleasures,
enjoyment and excitement of boat-
ing there are some basic rules that
should be observed and followed by
any rider. Some rules may be new
to you or covered in the
Personal
Watercraft
Safety Handbook
or
Safety Video
, others may be com-
mon sense or obvious… irrespec-
tive, we ask that you please take a
few minutes of your time to com-
pletely read these safety instruc-
tions completely before you oper-
ate your watercraft.
Failure to
follow this safety information and
safe boating rules could result in
injury, including the possibility of
death to you, your passenger(s),
or other water users.
Information in this guide is limited.
It is strongly recommended that
you obtain further boating informa-
tion from the local Coast Guard or
Power Squadron. We also recom-
mend all operators to take a boating
safety course. Please check local
and federal boating laws applicable
to the waterways where you intend
to use the watercraft. Learn the lo-
cal rules of the road. Always carry
the regulatory required safety items
on board.
The performance of this watercraft
may significantly exceed that of oth-
er crafts you have operated. There-
fore, use of this watercraft by a nov-
ice or inexperienced operator, or an
underage or disabled person, is
NOT RECOMMENDED.
Observe and follow all on-product
warning labels.
Become completely familiar with the
controls and operation of the water-
craft before embarking on your first
trip or taking on a passenger(s). If you
have not had the opportunity to do so
with your authorized Sea-Doo dealer,
practice driving solo in a suitable area
and feel the response of each con-
trol. Be fully familiar with all controls
before applying throttle above idle
speed. As its operator, you control
and are responsible for the water-
craft’s safe operation.
Always carry the regulatory required
safety items on board. Check the lo-
cal regulations or consult your deal-
er.
Make sure that all users of the wa-
tercraft read and are aware of all
warnings.

all times wear a coast guard approved
