IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

DANGER

Your SHOCKWAVE ICE will mitigate the effects of shock and vibration, reducing the potential of injury, 
but it will 

NOT 

prevent the possibility of injury. The increased level of comfort and control provided by the 

SHOCKWAVE ICE will allow for the operation of the craft at higher speeds in sea states which create high 
shock loads on the craft and potentially the occupants; 

SHOCK LOADS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY EXCEED 

THE ICE’S CAPABILITIES TO MITIGATE.

Operating marine craft in a high shock load environment is inherently hazardous. Tolerance to the effects of 
shock and vibration vary from person to person and it is the responsibility of the craft operator to ensure the 
safety of each person onboard. Pain and/or discomfort are indicators of a potential injury. Constantly monitor 
the physical state of the craft and the personnel onboard. Hazardous operation of the craft may result in 
serious injury, death or damage to the craft.

IMPORTANT

Follow 

IMPORTANT

 instructions located throughout the Operations and Service Manual to prolong the 

appearance and service life of your SHOCKWAVE ICE Console.

WARNING

•  Do not modify the equipment by drilling extra 

holes, removing material, or adding extra 
equipment.

 Serious injury can result.

•  Do not use the ICE if it is, or appears to be, 

damaged. 

Serious injury can result. 

•  Do not use seating if the seat to ICE attach-

ments are loose.

 Serious injury can result. 

•  Do not use the ICE if the resting height is 

lower than normal. This may be an indication 
of a damaged or leaking system. 

Serious injury 

and damage can result.

•  Do not operate the console with insufficient 

air pressure in shocks to prevent bottoming. 

Serious injury and damage can result.

CAUTION

•  Do not use the ICE for uses other than its 

intended purpose. 

Damage to the equipment 

or bodily harm may result.

•  Do not use the ICE if fasteners are loose. 

Damage to the equipment or bodily harm may 
result. 

•  Do not attempt to open, perform maintenance 

or repair the ICE while the craft is underway. 

Damage to the equipment or bodily harm may 
result. 

•  Do not place items under or around the ICE 

that may interfere with the ICE’s range of 
motion. 

Damage to the equipment or bodily 

harm may result.
