FOREWORD
This Operator’s Guide has been pre-
pared to acquaint the owner/operator

ious controls, maintenance and safe
riding instructions. It is indispensable
for the proper use of the product, and

Hazard Statements
As you read this Operator’s Guide,
please note the hazard warnings
which alert you to safety precautions
related to unsafe conditions or operat-
ing procedures.
This guide uses the following symbols
to emphasize particular information.

The safety alert symbol is recognized
around the world. In this guide, it
means read this information carefully!
Be sure you understand the conse-
quences of a hazard and how to avoid
them. Failure to follow the recommen-
dations in a hazard communication
statement may result in property dam-
age, personal injury, or death.
People often refer to a hazard state-
ment as a warning in a general sense.
This guide uses three kinds of “warn-
ings” depending on the likely effect of
a hazard (minor injury, severe injury,
death).
CAUTION: This signal word indicates
a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate personal injury or
property damage. It may also be used
to alert against unsafe practices.
NOTE: Indicates supplementary infor-
mation needed to fully complete an in-
struction relating to equipment opera-
tion and/or maintenance procedures.
Although the mere reading of such in-
formation does not eliminate the haz-
ard, the understanding and application
of the information will promote correct
and safe use of the boat.
The warnings in this guide do not and
cannot address every conceivable sit-
uation. Always use common sense! If
a procedure, method, tool, or part is
not specifically recommended, you
must satisfy yourself that it is safe for
you and others and that your boat will
not be damaged or made unsafe as a
result of your decision.

WARNING

nently hazardous situation which,
