Things to notice as you begin to ride
As you ride your Crosski in different situations, notice how the following conditions affect
how your Crosski behaves and responds:
Loads
Currents
Wind
Water conditions
Make sure to be alert to these conditions, and adapt accordingly.
Mooring/Docking
Always allow plenty of distance for the Crosski to slow down as you approach your mooring
location. Remember the stopping distance will vary depending on speed, water surface
condition, presence and direction of wind and current.
Take care to position mooring points and lines so they are not a hazard to dock users. If
possible, make them conspicuous with a marker or cover.
Release the throttle as you approach your mooring point and allow the Crosski to slow down.
Use small amounts of throttle to maneuver into final position.
If available, suspend boat fenders over the side of the Crosski closest to the dock to prevent
damage.
Beaching
NOTICE: Crosski onto a beach or bank with the wheels raised. Serious damage to the hull and/or
jet may result, which will not be covered by the Warranty Policy.
If it becomes necessary to beach the Crosski, for example if the wheels cannot be deployed,
drive slowly towards the beach and shut off the engine before the water is less than 2 ft (0.6 m)
deep under the lowest portion of the hull.
NOTICE: Water is less than 2 ft (0.6 m) deep to prevent debris being drawn into the jet water
intake, and never use the reverse lever.
Pull the Crosski onto the beach.
NOTICE: The wheels cannot fully deploy when beached. The deployment mechanism can be
damaged. To deploy wheels, pus the Crosski back into at least 3 ft (0.9 m) of water first.
Recovering the Crosski on water
Do not ride on the Crosski while it is being towed.
