If for any reason it becomes necessary to recover your Crosski from the water by towing,
attach a tow rope to the front recovery eye. It may be necessary to enter in the water to attach
the tow rope or to have the crew of the rescue boat make the connection.
NOTICE: Do not attach the tow rope to any other point on the Crosski – there is a risk of capsizing
and serious damage to the Crosski may occur. Always remove the tow rope after recovery as it
may become entangled on the Crosski.
When the Crosski is being towed on water to minimize any risk of capsizing, always adhere
to theses basic safety rules:
Do not attempt to tow your Crosski using any towing point other than the front eyelet.
Always ensure that the towing vessel maintains a slow and steady speed.
Ensure that the tow line can be separated from the towing vessel quickly, when being
towed.
NOTICE: Breaking strength than that of the recovery eye, serious damage to the Crosski could
occur.
Righting a capsized Crosski
Do not exhaust yourself trying to turn the Crosski back upright. If you cannot easily turn the
Crosski back upright, climb on top of the hull and wait for rescue. Continue to wear your PFD
while waiting.
Do not attempt to start the engine when the Crosski is capsized.
The Crosski is designed so that it should not capsize easily. Buoyancy blocks are built into the
hull to assist stability. If it does turn over it will not automatically right itself.
To turn the Crosski back upright:
1. Ensure the engine is off and the safety
2. Reach across the hull and using the water intake grate as a handhold, pull yourself up oonto
the Crosski’s hull.
3. Located on the left side of the Crosski is a righting button. Position the righting loop of the
lanyard over the righting button.
4. Standing on the Crosski’s hull and holding onto the lanyard, move backwards to the opposite
side of the hull.
5. Lean back and use your body weight to rotate the Crosski towards you.
NOTICE: not attempt to start the engine to avoid water being drawn into the engine. Have the
Crosski toward to land, and contact a Hison dealer for advice.
As soon as the Crosski is back on land, check for the presence of water in the hull. Remove
the hull drain plugs and allow to drain.
