Axis T22 User Manual

The operator of the boat
is responsible, by
law, to “maintain a
proper lookout by
sight and hearing.”
The operator must
ensure that he/she has
appropriate visibility
for safe operation.
No passengers or
equipment should block
the operator’s view,
including the view of
other boats, skier(s),
rider(s), swimmer(s), or anyone or
anything else in the water. Even
momentary interference can result
in the driver’s inability to respond to
a situation that requires avoidance
of another vessel or submerged or
partially-submerged object(s).
Look carefully before turning,
especially when you are turning
around to pick up a fallen skier/rider. Other boats in your vicinity may not necessarily be
following the Rules of the Road. Be alert and keep a visual check for other boats in and around
your intended path. Do not turn or maneuver your boat without rst checking that it is clear to
do so. Failure to look before turning can result in an encounter with another boat where neither
boat has enough time to avoid a collision. This situation can develop very quickly if you fail to
look rst and turn in front of another oncoming boat.
Obstructed visibility can cause death or serious injury. The operator
must maintain clear visibility at all times while operating the boat.
Arrange passengers and equipment appropriately or designate a
passenger to assist when visibility is limited.
signate a passenger to assist when visibility is limited.
Operating the boat or boating under the inuence
of alcohol and/or drugs can cause serious injury or
death. Alcohol and drugs slow your reaction time and
impair your judgment. Do not operate a boat or allow
passengers to boat while under the inuence of alcohol and/or drugs.
Boating under the inuence of alcohol or drugs can be deadly. Alcohol and/or drug
use is the leading contributing factor to all recreational boating fatalities. Alcohol
and drugs can increase your reaction time and impair your judgment. Combined
with the sun, wind, waves, and noise of other watercraft, the eects of drugs and
alcohol can be increased and can signicantly increase your reaction time. As the
owner/operator, you are responsible for the alcohol/drug use and on board behavior
of your passengers. Additionally, civil lawsuits in cases of property damage or injury/death to
others can result in signicantly higher verdicts when alcohol or drugs are allowed.
Impaired operation may result in severe personal injury or death.
Federal and state laws prohibit operating a boat under the inuence
of alcohol and other drugs. If the operator’s blood alcohol content is
above the legal limit, violators are subject to nes and may go to jail.
Violators may also lose automobile driving privileges.
