Operator Safety
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
contained throughout this manual and on your
watercraft can result in serious injury or death.
Read and understand your owner’s manual and
all warning decals before operating a Polaris
watercraft.
Any operator of a Polaris watercraft must know and
practice the following guidelines for personal safety
and the safety of passengers. Never permit a guest to
operate this watercraft unless the guest has read and
understands all warning decals and the owner’s
manual.
Operator Guidelines
This watercraft is not a toy. It’s a high performance
powerboat, and operating it requires learned and
practiced skills. All operators and passengers should
become familiar with proper operating techniques
before attempting maneuvers. Always operate the
watercraft at a speed appropriate for water conditions
and for your level of experience.
The minimum recommended age for operators of this
watercraft is 16 years. Obey all applicable boating
rules and regulations.
Brakes
This watercraft does not have brakes. The watercraft
coasts to a stop when the throttle is released. The
natural drag of the water slows and stops the
watercraft. Allow a minimum of 300 feet (90 m) to
coast to a stop from full throttle.
Steering
Jet thrust is required to steer and turn the watercraft.
Never completely release the throttle and attempt to
turn at more than a trolling speed. The watercraft will
not turn. Practice until you’re comfortable with turning
and stopping, and be sure you’ve mastered the skills
before carrying a passenger. See page 33 for a
description of the watercraft’s Enhanced Steering
Performance feature.
Learn and observe all local, state, and federal boating
regulations and speed limits. Boating laws and
navigational rules are designed for the safety of
everyone sharing the waterways.
