2016 OWNERS MANUAL / 023
Maintain a distance of at least six (6) feet from the ski platform
when wake surfing or tubing. Any closer risks exposure to CO
fumes, which can be deadly. Never launch a surfboard from the
ski platform (or any part of the boat) or end a surfing session by
surfing onto the ski platform. Such activities can damage the boat,
which is not covered under warranty. Being on the ski platform at
any time the boat is running can potentially expose individuals to
CO poisoning as well.
• Never ride on the ski platform or hold on to the ski platform while
in the water during engine operation, including at idle. Carbon
monoxide fumes are expelled from the lower transom areas of
your boat and can cause death or serious illness. See the Com-
mon Sense Approach section following for more details.
• Never climb, sit or stand on a tower. The tower is intended for
towing only as noted.
• Make sure that everyone knows and uses approved skiing/wake-
boarding hand signals and adheres to common skiing, wake-
boarding and boating courtesy. Inexperienced skiers might not
know that there are waterskiing hand signals, similar to bicycle
and motorcycle hand signals, that can be used while skiing.
For example, giving a thumbs up or palm facing up signal while
motioning upwards means “speed up,” and the opposite, thumbs
down or palms facing down, means “slow down.” There are also
signals for speed—turn right, turn left, stop—and signals for
When adding accessories to the tower, ensure that the total ag-
gregate weight of the accessories does not exceed 85 lbs. (U.S.).
Exceeding the limit may result in structural failure of the tower.
MasterCraft strongly encourages the use of MasterCraft towers
and accessories only as they have been tested and determined to
meet product requirements, including weight.
Towers should never have a total aggregate weight of accessories
exceeding 85 lbs. (U.S.). Excessive weight can cause tower failure
and the collapse of a tower or the disconnection of the tower from
the deck, which could result in serious bodily injury or damage to
the boat that is not covered by warranty.
• Never attempt to fold a ZFT0 tower without assistance. Folding
a ZFT0 tower requires at least two (2) people. (The ZFT4 and
ZFT5P towers are not included in this group.)
• Never jump from a boat that is moving at any speed, nor enter
or exit the water when the engine is running (ON). (See the
Common Sense Approach section of this Owner’s Manual for
additional information regarding carbon monoxide peril.)
