THE Z10 TOWER
The Z10 features a hydraulic pump that allows the operator to raise 
or lower the tower at the press of a button. It is controlled using a pair 
of rocker switches found on the ignition pad. To raise the tower, press 
and hold the TOWER UP switch, letting the internal hydraulic pump 
raise the tower into the deployed position. To lower the tower, press 
TOWER DOWN and let the tower decline. Always ensure the racks 
have been swiveled fully inboard prior to operation.
 
 
If the Z8/Z10 have not been positioned fully upright, you should 
not tow individuals. Doing so may result in injury or death.  
 
When operating Z6, Z8, and Z10 towers, individuals should keep all 
body parts, especially fingers, away from hinge areas. 
 
 
Always ensure that there are no people, power lines, or objects in 
the way when raising or lowering the tower. Individuals and their 
limbs may be subject to injury if caught in the tower’s path. Please 
note with special consideration that MasterCraft has carefully 
determined the maximum amount of weight and total accessories 
that the tower can safely hold. Ignoring this information could 
result in injury to the operator and/or passengers. 
 
 
85 pounds is the maximum aggregate weight allowed for 
accessories mounted on the tower. Exceeding this restriction can 
result in tower failure, which could cause serious injury or death to 
the operator and/or passengers.
 
 
Occupants of the boat should never stand on, sit on, or jump from 
the tower. MasterCraft towers should only be used for approved 
sport towing. See the “Safety” chapter of this Owner’s Manual for 
a list of approved activities.
