SAFETY INFORMATION 19
riding skills and strike a boat or
person.
If your watercraft is equipped with a
braking system, be aware that other
boats following or operating in close
proximity may not be able to stop as
quickly.
Stopping distance will vary depending
on initial speed, load, wind and water
conditions. The amount of braking
power commanded by the operator
using the iBR lever will also affect
stopping distance.
Although the preferable manoeuvre to
avoid an obstacle is to steer away
while applying throttle, the iBR can al-
so be used by fully braking and turning
in the direction to avoid the obstacle.
R Riid diin ng g B Be eh ha avviio orrss
Ride within your limits and level of rid-
ing ability.
Scan constantly for people, objects
and other watercraft. Stay far enough
away from others so you can always
safely coast to a stop.
Avoid aggressive operation, sharp
turns, and unexpected acceleration
that can cause riders to be thrown off.
Avoid riding in very rough waters or
practicing extreme manoeuvres like
jumping wakes or waves - jumping
can cause injuries such as back or
spinal injuries (paralysis).
S Sp pe ee ed diin ng g
While your watercraft has the capacity
of operating at high speeds, it is
strongly recommended that high--
speed operation only be applied when
ideal conditions exist and are permit-
ted. Higher speed operation 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 choppy waters,
or falling off the watercraft, especially
at higher speeds, may cause injury in-
cluding the possibility of broken bones
or more serious bodily injuries.
R Re eb bo oa arrd diin ng g
Operator and passenger (s) need to
know how to swim and how to reboard
the watercraft from the water. Board-
ing in deep water can be strenuous.
Also, make sure you and all passen-
gers know how to reboard with the
boarding ladder.
Cut off the engine, deploy the ladder
completely and climb up. Stay on cen-
ter and face ladder when using it.
Make sure the ladder is properly
stored before starting the engine.
Ask inexperienced riders to practice
how to board the watercraft close to
shore before venturing into deep
water.
To prevent accidental starting, always
detach the tether cord from the engine
cut-off switch when passenger (s)
swimmers are boarding.
M Mo ovviin ng g P Pa arrttss
Never turn handlebar while someone
is near the rear of watercraft. Keep
away from steering moving parts (noz-
zle, iBR gate, linkages, etc.).
Keep away from the intake grate while
the engine is running. Items such as
long hair, loose clothing, or PFD
straps can become entangled in mov-
ing parts.
Be aware of the iBR gate movement
when starting the engine, shutting
down the engine or using the iBR lev-
er. Automatic movement of the gate
may squeeze fingers or toes of people
taking a hold on the back or your
watercraft.
