Throughout this manual the terms “Danger,” “Warning,” and “Cau-
tion” appear, alerting the boat owner and/or operator to dangerous
or potentially dangerous situations that may arise. Those terms have
the following respective meanings whenever they appear herein:
is is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you
to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety
messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible
injury or death.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situ-
ation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situ-
ation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situa-
tion which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, may result in property damage.
Failure to adhere to and comply with the safety dangers, warnings
and cautions that appear in this manual can lead to serious illness,
injury or even death and/or damage to your boat or the property of
others. Beyond these warnings, boaters have a personal responsibility
to utilize a common sense approach to the boating experience, includ-
ing keeping individuals off or near the swim platform and the stern
area of the boat during the engine operation. Personal oation devices
(“PFDs”) save lives and ensure positive experiences. MasterCraft
offers many proactive approaches to the boating experience,
but the consumer is ultimately responsible for the positive
and safe involvement in boating.
Be sure to review the Boating Safety section of this manual, which

dangers, warnings and cautions, they are reprinted here, along with
dan ger s, warn i n gs a nd c au ti on s
the pages on which you will nd them. Please note that the safety
information statements presented below are categorized for informa
-
tion purposes only, and are not presented in any particular order of
importance. Each of the statements referenced below and in the other
sections of this manual provide you with important safety-related in-
formation and must be read and followed to avoid injury or damage,

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 activi-
ties 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 opera-
tion. (Page 1-4)
Following the activation of the automatic re suppression system or
a hand-held re extinguisher, a careful determination should be made
as to whether the boat can safely be operated. If there is any doubt or
concern whatsoever, the boat should be towed to shore and/or doc
for service by an authorized MasterCraft dealer prior to operating
again. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or seri-
ous injury/illness. (Pages 1-2, 1-3)
Opening an engine compartment when there is indication of a re
inside can cause the re to are up and/or spread, which may result in
extensive damage or even sinking of the boat and/or serious injury or
death to people on board. (Page 1-3)
Gasoline is highly ammable and its vapors may ignite, resulting in re
or explosion. Be sure to keep all sparks and ames away from the area
while inspecting the boat’s fuel system. (Page 17-2)
Gasoline is explosive. If a gasoline odor is present or gasoline is visu-
ally observed in the bilge area during inspection, DO NOT START
YOUR ENGINE! Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch and
call an authorized MasterCraft dealer for service. (Pages 7-1, 17-6)
Gasoline is extremely ammable and highly explosive under certain
conditions. Always stop the engine and never smoke or allow open
ames or sparks within fty (50) feet of the fueling area when fueling.
(Page 7-1)
Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline is spilled accidentally, wipe
up all traces of it with dry rags immediately and dispose of properly
on shore. (Page 7-1)
To prevent a possible explosion, operate the blower for at least four
(4) minutes before starting the engine and always when at idle or
slow-running speed. Explosive gasoline and/or battery fumes may be
present in the engine compartment. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury or death! (Page 10-1)
