Always keep in mind that as the
throttle lever is released to idle posi-
tion, less directional control is avail-
able.
To turn the watercraft, both
steering and throttle are neces-
sary.
This watercraft has the capa-
bility of turning more sharply than
other crafts, however, unless in an
emergency, do not negotiate sharp,
high speed turns. You and your pas-
senger(s) could be thrown from the
watercraft. It should also be remem-
bered that sun, wind, alcohol or
drugs, may impair your judgment
and reaction time.
While your watercraft has the ca-
pacity of operating at high speeds,
it is strongly recommended that
high speed operation only be ap-
plied when ideal conditions exist
and are permitted. Higher speed op-
eration requires a higher degree of
skill and increases the risk of severe
injuries.
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. Never place your feet
and legs in the water to aid turning.
Ensure operator all-round visibil-
ity is unrestricted. Always keep a
constant lookout for other water
users or other potential hazards
especially when turning. Make
sure to keep a safe distance from
all other crafts, other waterusers
or other objects.
Like any other craft, this watercraft
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 watercraft un-
der varying conditions. Do not re-
lease throttle when trying to steer
away from objects. You need throttle
to steer. Do not use the watercraft’s
reverse, if so equipped, to stop.
Ensure that all passengers know how
to swim and how to reboard the wa-
tercraft from the water. The operator
and passenger(s) should be properly
seated before starting or moving the
watercraft, and at all times when wa-
tercraft is in motion.
Do not start or
operate the watercraft if a person(s)
is seated on the sun deck or swim
platform, or are nearby in the water.
The watercraft’s jet thrust can cause
injury. Always accelerate slowly. To
prevent accidental starting or unau-
thorized use, always detach the safe-
ty lanyard from the watercraft espe-
cially when swimmers are boarding
or nearby, or during removal of any
weeds or debris from the intake
grate. Keep away from intake grate
while engine is on. Items such as
long hair, loose clothing, or PFD
straps can become entangled in mov-
ing parts resulting in severe injury or
drowning.
Ride within your limits and avoid ag-
gressive maneuvers to reduce the
risk of loss of control, ejection and
collision.
