Axis Wake Research A20 - Safety While Maintaining the Vessel

of the tower.
• NEVER allow any type of spark or open ame on board. It may result in re or explosion.
• Avoid grounding the boat: Be familiar with local condions and water depth. If you are uncertain, then
proceed slowly with cauon. Sudden groundings from planing speeds may cause rapid deceleraons and
cause occupants to impact the boat and/or to be ejected from the boat. Boat damage may also occur.
• Always watch for low obstacles such as tree limbs, bridges or power lines, especially in boats with tow
towers.
• Seek shelter from open water if there is threat of lightning or severe weather.
• NEVER dive from the boat without being absolutely sure of the depth of the water. Severe injury or death
may occur from striking the boom or submerged objects. Striking the boom or a submerged object
while diving head rst can cause paralysis, head injury or death.
• Provide assistance to other boaters in distress while ensuring the safety of your own passengers.
• When you leave the boat, take the keys with you. This will keep untrained and unauthorized persons from
operang the boat. (This may not be applicable on some keyless ignion systems.)
Failure to follow these precautions may result in severe injury
or death to you and/or others.
The operator shall:
• Visually inspect the engine compartment and venlate aer refueling.
• Inspect fuel system regularly. Examine fuel tanks, hoses and ngs for leaks or corrosion at least annually
because leaking fuel is a re and explosion hazard.
• Never remove or modify components of the fuel system in any way except for maintenance by qualied
personnel. Tampering with fuel components may cause a hazardous condion which could lead to a re
or explosion.
• Never override or modify the engine neutral starng safety switch in any way. Your boat engine should
not start in gear. If it does, do not use the boat and have this safety feature xed by an authorized dealer.
• Be aware that baeries generate small amounts of dangerous hydrogen gas when charging. This gas
is highly explosive. Keep all sparks, ames and smoking well away from the area. Failure to follow
instrucons when charging a baery may cause an explosion of the baery or the atmosphere near the
baery, which could result in death or serious injury.
• Keep the engine o whenever the engine box/cover/hatch is open. The engine box/cover/hatch serves as
