SAFETY AFLOAT
The cause of many boating accidents is often the operator’s failure
to follow basic safety rules or written precautions. Many accidents
can be avoided if an operator is completely familiar with the boat,
its operation, and can recognize potentially hazardous situations
before an accident occurs.
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-o 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-o
switch in any way.
• Never operate the boat, water ski, wakeboard, wakesurf 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 axed in each
model.) Never stand or allow passengers to stand in the boat or
sit on the motor box or tower (where equipped), 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, 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.
