AVIARA OWNERS MANUAL / 10
Failure to comply with safety-related information and instructions
may result in serious injury or death to you and/or others. Always
use common sense when operating the boat or participating in any
activities associated with the boat, including, but not limited to,
periods of time when the boat engine is shut down and the boat is
not in operation.
• Improper operation of a boat is extremely dangerous!
Operators must read and understand all operating manuals
supplied with the boat, before operation.
• On-board equipment must always conform to the governing
federal, state and local regulations.
• Always attach the engine emergency safety shut-off
lanyard to a part of your clothing (such as a belt loop) when
operating the boat.
Never override or modify the engine emergency safety shut-off
switch in any way.
• Never operate the boat or engage in other water activities
while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• All persons must be seated in a designated occupant seating
area while the boat is in motion. (A seating label is affixed
in each model.) Never stand or allow passengers to stand in
the boat or sit on the motor box or hard top, gunwale, decks,
or any location other than occupant seating while underway.
You or others may be thrown within or from the boat, which
could result in serious injury or death. Never allow occupants
to use sun pads or transom seating while the engine is
running. On models equipped with sliding or adjustable seat
backs, ensure that the backs are in the locked position prior to
operating the boat.
• Prior to starting the engine on stern drive models, open the
engine box and check the engine compartment and bilge
for gasoline and oil vapors. Always operate the blower for at
least four (4) minutes before starting the boat. Failure to do
so may result in fire and/or an explosion.
