SAFETY MATTERS
CLOTHING
Persons in range of the power board’s engine moving parts should exercise caution to
avoid having clothing or hair come in contact. If clothing or hair become entangled in mov-
ing parts, injury may result.
Because the engine has moving parts, owners/operators should never wear loose clothing when the
engine is in operation. Straps, buckles, as well as the edges of cloth can become entangled in JetSurf™
moving parts.
If the owner/operator has long hair, it should be tied up or secured in some fashion so that the hair
cannot become entangled in the engine’s moving JetSurf™.
An injury can occur nearby the jets as a result of water inux into the body cavities. Conventional
swimwear does not protect suciently against water being forced into rectum or vagina. All the riders
must wear at least the bottom part of the neoprene suit or any other garment providing the same
protection. We recommend wearing footwear, gloves and glasses.
Helmets are a compulsory item of safety gear and must be worn at all times while riding. It is expected
that operators will, from time to time, fall o the power board, even in normal operation. Helmets
provide protection in the event the operator’s head would strike the board. Helmets are therefore a
mandatory accessory and should be manufactured to wear on the water, t properly and be relatively
lightweight. Manufacturer JetSurf™ makes no claims nor promises regarding protection, including that
aorded by helmets.
The use of an arm or leg leash is compulsory and must be used at all times while using JetSurf™.
PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES (PFDs)
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to comply with any and all laws, statutes and requirements
for personal safety. American federal law requires the wearing of a U.S. Coast Guard-approved* person-
al otation device (PFD) under most circumstances. State and local laws and statutes may also vary
from federal requirements.
As JetSurf™ power boards are commonly dened as personal water craft it is essential for all users to
check with their relevant local Authorities for all information relating to the use of safety accessories.
JetSurf™ takes no responsibility for failure of users to comply with the relevant laws which apply to
the use of personal water craft in any specic location.
Authorized dealers are able to assist owners and operators in ensuring that they are properly outt-
ted for conditions and to comply with the law of the countries where JetSurf™ is used.
