SAfETY PRECAuTIONS
WARNINg
We suggest that you read the information below before using the
boat. Failure to follow the warnings / precautions below may lead to
serious injury or death.
1-Weather and water conditions
Check the weather and water conditions before you go boating. Your
boat is designed to be used only in sheltered waters and lakes. It is not
designed for whitewater use. Never go boating in severe winds, rain,
thunderstorms, choppy waters, strong currents, flood waters, or where tides
will seriously affect your ability to steer the boat or return to shore.
2-Every passenger should always wear a Coast guard approved
Personal flotation device (Pfd) when using this boat.
Before going boating, read the PFD manufacturer’s information pamphlet regarding
the PFD and thoroughly familiarize yourself with how the PFD is to be worn.
3-Never use or consume alcohol, drugs, or any other substance
that may affect your coordination, judgment or ability to safely
operate the boat.
4-Sound device
The Coast Guard requires boaters to have a means of signaling other boaters
of their presence. You should keep sound device in the boat with you at all
times. If possible, attach the sound device to your Personal Flotation Device.
5-Never stand up in the boat
Standing up in the boat may cause it to capsize. If the boat should
capsize, please note that, in most cases, it is far more dangerous
to attempt to swim to shore than to stay with the boat.
6-Never exceed your ability
Honestly assess your physical capability as to how far and how long you can pedal and swim.
7-Slippery when wet
The hull material is extremely slick when wet. Always wear slip-resistant shoes and
stay in the center of the boat.
