Safety While Maintaining the Vessel
Failure to follow these precautions may
result in severe injury or death to you
and/or others.
The operator shall:
• Visually inspect the engine compartment and ventilate after
refueling.
• Inspect fuel system regularly. Examine fuel tanks, hoses and
fittings for leaks or corrosion at least annually because leaking
fuel is a fire and explosion hazard.
• NEVER allow any type of spark or open flame on board. It may
result in fire or explosion.
• Avoid grounding the boat: Be familiar with local conditions and
water depth. If you are uncertain, then proceed slowly with
caution. Sudden groundings from planing speeds may cause rapid
decelerations and cause occupants to impact the boat and/or to
be ejected from the boat. Boat damage may also occur.
• Always watch for low obstacles such as tree limbs, bridges or
power lines, especially in boats with tow towers.
• Seek shelter from open water if there is threat of lightning or severe
weather.
• NEVER dive from the boat without being absolutely sure of
the depth of the water. Severe injury or death may occur from
striking the bottom or submerged objects. Striking the bottom or
a submerged object while diving head first can cause paralysis,
head injury or death.
• Provide assistance to other boaters in distress while ensuring the
safety of your own passengers.
• When you leave the boat, take the keys with you. This will keep
untrained and unauthorized persons from operating the boat.
(This will not be applicable on some keyless ignition systems.)

waves/wakes or slamming the bow will cause large vertical
impacts which may cause injury to occupants or cause ejections.
• For safe towing (water skiing, tubing, wakeboarding, wake
surfing, knee boarding, etc.) be experienced and have an observer
[an observer or “spotter” is required by law in most states]. A
rear view mirror is helpful if you are allowed to tow without an
observer in your state.
• Avoid letting tow lines or mooring lines wrap around anyone’s
body parts/limbs. Doing so could allow body parts/limbs to
become entangled in the line and could cause significant injury,
such as amputations.
• Keep track of tow lines and dock lines so that they do not become
entangled in the propeller. A tow line will wrap quickly around
a spinning propeller and is capable of immobilizing the boat
and dragging a person entangled in the tow line underwater
or causing amputations. Shut off the engine if a tow line has
potential for wrapping in the propeller.
• The tower is designed to pull a single individual. Please consult
the remainder of this manual and/or warning labels on the tower
for details. DO NOT climb, sit on, stand on or jump/dive off of the
tower. Tow line may loop on inverted tricks. DO NOT sit behind the
pulling point of the tower.
• Never remove or modify components of the fuel system in any
way except for maintenance by qualified personnel. Tampering
with fuel components may cause a hazardous condition which
could lead to a fire or explosion.
• Never override or modify the engine neutral starting safety switch
in any way. Your boat engine should not start in gear. If it does, do
not use the boat until this safety feature is fixed by an authorized
dealer.
• Be aware that batteries generate small amounts of dangerous
hydrogen gas when charging. This gas is highly explosive. Keep
