1. Owner’s Manual
The material here and the rest of the Owner’s manual packet:
•
Gives you basic safety information
•
Describes the fundamentals of boat use
•
Describes the features of your boat
•
Describes the equipment on your boat
•
Contains service and maintenance information
You must learn to safely operate this boat as well as read, understand and use the information
contained in this package.
What this manual does not give you is a course in boating safety, or how to navigate, anchor or dock
your boat. Operating a power boat safely requires more skills, knowledge and awareness than is
necessary for a car or truck.
2. Your Responsibilities
For your safety, the safety of your passengers, other boaters and people in the water, you must take a
boating safety course and get instruction in the safe and proper handling of your boat. Understand
and follow the “Rules of the Road” and learn how to navigate.
Do not forget that a boating license is mandatory in many countries for vessels above a certain engine
power. These regulations can vary depending on the country or region that you are located in.
Finally, your boat must be registered with the proper authorities. A Declaration of Conformity is part
of the documents that you receive with the boat and it must be kept aboard with other official
documents at all times. The Declaration of Conformity is mandatory when registering the boat.
3. Explanation of Safety Labels
The most important aspect of boating is safety. Although every effort is made to address the
numerous issues regarding the safe usage of your boat, it is strongly recommended that you avail
yourself of the training and knowledge available through boating safety courses, etc.
Safety Precautions
Mounted at key locations throughout your boat and duplicated in this manual are labels which advise
the owner/operator of imperative safety precautions to follow when operating or servicing
equipment. Learn to recognize the degree of precaution and understand the explanations of safety
prior to reading this manual. These precautions are not all
- inclusive. Always use common sense in the
operation of your boat.
