The safe use and operation of this water-
craft is dependent upon the use of proper
riding techniques, as well as upon the
common sense, good judgment, and ex-
pertise of the operator. Every operator
should know the following requirements
before riding the watercraft.
●
Before operating the watercraft, read this
owner’s/operator’s manual, the Riding
Practice Guide, the Riding Instruction card,
and all labels on the watercraft. Also, watch
the Basic Orientation Video provided with
your watercraft. These materials should
give you an understanding of the watercraft
and its operation.
●
Never allow anyone to operate this water-
craft until they too have read this own-
er’s/operator’s manual, the Riding Practice
Guide, the Riding Instruction card, and all
labels, and, if possible, watched the Basic
Orientation Video.
Showing them the video may help reinforce
