While your craft has the capacity of
operating at high speeds, it is strong-
ly recommended that high speed op-
eration only be applied when ideal
conditions exist and are permitted.
Higher speed operation requires a
higher degree of skill and increases
the risk of severe injuries.
m
The forces generated on the body of
riders while turning, negotiating
waves or wakes, operating in chop-
py waters, or falling off the water-
craft, especially at higher speeds,
may cause injury including the pos-
sibility of broken legs and other
bones. Remain flexible and avoid
sharp turns.
m
Ensure operator all-round visibility
is unrestricted. Always keep a con-
stant lookout for other water users
or other potential hazards especially
when turning. Make sure to keep a
safe distance from all other craft,
other water users or other objects.
m
Like any other boats, this craft has
no brake. Stopping distance will
vary depending on initial speed,
load, wind, and water conditions.
Practice stopping and docking in a
safe, traffic free area to have an idea
of how long it will take to stop the
craft under varying conditions. Do
not release throttle when trying to
steer away from objects. You need
throttle to steer. Do not use the
craft’s reverse, if so equipped, to
stop.
m
Ensure that all passengers know
how to swim and how to reboard
the craft from the water. The oper-
ator and passenger(s) should be
properly seated and wearing an ap-
proved PFD before starting or mov-
ing the craft and at all times when
craft is in motion. Do not start or op-
erate the craft if a person(s) is seat-
ed on the sun deck or swim plat-
form, or are nearby in the water. The
craft’s jet thrust can cause injury. Al-
ways accelerate slowly. To prevent
accidental starting or unauthorized
use, always detach the safety lan-
yard from the craft especially when
swimmers are boarding or nearby,
or during removal of any weeds or
debris from the intake grate.
m
Riding with a passenger(s) or pulling
other boats, tubes, skier or wake-
boarder makes the craft handle dif-
ferently and requires greater skill. Do
not overload the craft or take on
more passengers than designated
for the particular craft. Overloading
can affect maneuverability, stability
and performance. Avoid adding on
accessories, or equipment which
may alter your control of the craft.
The craft may be fitted with tow eye-
lets which can be used to attach a ski
rope. However, do not use these
eyelets or the craft’s cleats to tow a
parasail. Severe craft damage may
occur.
m
Always respect the safety and com-
fort of your passenger(s) and per-
son being towed on skis, wake-
boards or other water products.
Always have an observer while tow-
ing a skier, proceed with only as
much speed as required, and follow
the observers instructions. Unless
absolutely necessary, do not make
tight, sharp turns.
