Operator/Passenger
Awareness
The watercraft operator has the re-
sponsibility to inform passenger(s) of
safety measures.
Never turn handlebar while someone
is nearby rear of watercraft.
Keep
away from steering moving parts
(nozzle, side vanes, linkage, etc.).
Do not start or operate the watercraft
if anyone is seated on the sun deck,
if so equipped, or swim platform, or is
nearby in the water. Water and/or de-
bris exiting jet thrust nozzle can cause
severe injury.
The operator and passenger(s) should
be properly seated before starting or
moving the watercraft, and at all times
when watercraft is in motion. All pas-
senger(s) should be instructed to use
the handholds or seat straps provid-
ed, or in the alternative on a PWC, to
hold the waist of the person in front of
them.
When accelerating on a PWC with a
passenger(s), whether from a com-
plete stop or while underway, always
do so progressively. Fast acceleration
may cause your passenger(s) to loose
their balance or grip and fall rearward
off the watercraft. Make sure that
your passenger(s) know of, or antici-
pate, any rapid acceleration.
Keep away from intake grate while en-
gine is on. Items such as long hair,
loose clothing, or PFD straps can be-
come entangled in moving parts re-
sulting in severe injury or drowning.
To prevent accidental starting, always
detach the safety lanyard from the wa-
tercraft when swimmers are boarding
or nearby, or during removal of any
weeds or debris from the intake grate.
It should be remembered that sun,
wind, alcohol, drugs, fatigue and ill-
ness, may impair your judgement and
reaction time.
On a PWC, never place your feet and
legs in the water to aid turning.
Manoeuvrability of the
Watercraft/Towing
Do not overload the watercraft or take
on more passengers than designated
for the particular watercraft.
Over-
loading can affect maneuverability,
stability and performance.
Avoid adding on accessories, or equip-
ment which may alter your control of
the watercraft.
The watercraft may be fitted with tow
eyelets which can be used to attach a
ski rope.
Riding with a passenger(s) or pulling
a tube, skier or wakeboarder makes
the watercraft handle differently and
requires greater skill.
Always respect the safety and comfort
of your passenger(s) and person be-
ing towed on skis, wakeboard or other
water products.
Always carry an observer when pulling
a tube, skier or wakeboarder, proceed
with only as much speed as required
and follow the observer’s instructions.
Unless absolutely necessary, do not
make tight, sharp turns. Keep a safe
distance from the docks, other swim-
mers, craft or objects.
Use a tow rope of sufficient length
and size and make sure it is adequate-
ly secured to your watercraft. While
some craft are equipped or can be fit-
ted with a specially designed towing
mechanism avoid installing a tow pole
on a PWC. It can become a hazard
should someone fall on it.
Be advised that serious injury can re-
sult if the tow rope becomes slack dur-
ing a tight turn or when circling. The
rope could become wrapped around
the neck or limbs of a person that has
fallen in the water.
