•
Engine exhaust
contains carbon
monoxide (CO), which can cause injury or
death if inhaled in sufficient quantities. Educate
all occupants about the risks and symptoms
of CO accumulation and CO poisoning.
•
Fuel vapors can explode
, resulting in
injury or death. Always use the bilge blower
for a minimum of 4 minutes before starting
the engine, then turn it OFF above idle speed.
Use of the the bilge blower should never
replace checking for fuel vapor odours.
•
If at any time,
fuel leaks/odours
are
found, do not start the engine. Have the boat
serviced by an authorised Williams dealer.
•
Always keep in mind
that as the throttle
is returned to the idle position, less directional
control is available. To turn the boat, both
steering and throttle are necessary.
•
This boat 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 boat under varying conditions.
•
Do not release the throttle
when trying to
steer away from objects. You need throttle to
steer. Do not use the boat’s reverse to stop.
•
Do not start or operate the boat
if
any person is not properly seated in a seat
intended for use when underway (refer to
this manual) or if a person is nearby in the
water.
•
The boat’s jet thrust
can cause injury.
Always accelerate slowly, and decelerate in a
controlled fashion.
•
Observe the instructions
on all safety
labels. They are there to help assure that you
have a safe and enjoyable outing.
WARNING.
Do not exceed
the
maximum recommended number of
persons. Regardless of the number of
persons on board, the total weight of persons
and equipment must never exceed the
maximum recommend load. This can be
found on the builder’s plate of the boat and
specification further on in this manual. Always
use the seats/seating spaces provided.
•
Riding with passenger(s)
or pulling
other boats, tubes, a skier or a wakeboarder
makes the boat handle differently and
requires greater skill.
•
Rear seats must not be used
when
water skiing or wakeboarding is taking place.
•
Always attach the kill cord
. Should the
driver move away from, or be thrown from
the helm position, the kill cord will detach
from the console and the engine will stop.
Detaching the kill cord also allows a crew
member or passenger to stop the engine
if the driver were to become incapacitated
whilst at the helm, e.g. if they fainted.
•
Always check your kill cord works
at
the start of each day or session and check it
regularly for signs of wear.
•
Do not leave kill cords out
in the
elements. Extremes of temperature and UV
light will harm the kill cord in the long term.
•
If your kill cord has lost its spiral
tension
, replace it.
•
When replacing kill cords
, purchase
Williams’s own kill cord.
