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 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.)
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 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
all sparks, flames and smoking well away from the area. Failure to follow instructions when charging a battery may cause an
explosion of the battery or the atmosphere near the battery, which could result in death or serious injury.
• Keep the engine off whenever the engine box/cover/hatch is open. The engine box/cover/hatch serves as a machinery guard.
Clothing or body parts can get caught in moving parts, causing death or serious injury. Keep away from moving parts.
• Not replace your boat’s marine parts with automotive parts or parts that were not designed for your boat.
• Be aware that battery electrolyte fluid is dangerous. It contains sulfuric acid, which is poisonous, corrosive and caustic. If
electrolyte fluid is spilled or placed on any part of the human body, immediately flush the area with large amounts of clean water
and immediately seek medical attention.
• Check the tightness of the tower bolts BEFORE each use. If a tower collapses it may result in injury to boat occupants or towed persons.
• Not modify the tow bar. The tow pylon/bar is not designed for vertical extensions. Any modifications to the tow pylon/bar or its
mountings may result in damage to the boat and injury to the user.
• Only lift the boat from approved lift points, which are identified in later parts of the manual.
