boat operation and make contact with individuals, again causing injury. Properly store all
anchor and lines whether the boat is in operation or not, unless the anchor and line are in
use. (Page 3-22)
The platform must be raised and locked into position for use of the platform while
boating. No one should be allowed on the platform until the platform is securely
locked in place and the engine is OFF. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or
death! (Page 3-18)
85 pounds is the maximum weight allowed for accessories mounted on the tower. Ex-
ceeding this restriction can result in tower failure, which could result in serious injury or
death to the boat operator and/or passengers. (Page 3-18)
Ski/wakeboard rope should never be attached to anything but approved pylons and tow-
ers as it may otherwise break free or cause other items to break under duress. People
onboard, as well as skiers and/or wakeboarders could be injured. Also, operators and pas-
sengers should always pay attention to the rope when the boat is underway as rope can
snap back into the boat, which could result in injury. (Page 3-16)
Always reinstall the locking mechanism on both sides of the ZFT4 tower immediately after
raising or lowering the tower. Failure to do so could result in damage to the tower or collapse
of the tower, which could result in serious injury or death. (Page 3-19)
Towing behind the ZFT5P tower should occur only with the tower in the full, upright and
locked position. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death. (Page 3-19)
Always ensure that there are no people, powerlines nor objects in the way when raising
and lowering the tower. Individuals and their limbs may be subject to injury if caught in
the path of the tower. (Page 3-19)
Use of improper parts may cause component or engine failure. Such failure may result in
death or serious injury! (Page 5-5)
Completely filling the fuel tank prior to storage and then sealing the fuel tank vent does
not allow room for necessary expansion. This can result, in extreme conditions, in fuel
tank rupture. Such release of fuel into the boat and potentially into the storage area
could result in substantial damage to the boat and contact with any spark (such as a
flame-producing pilot light in a heater) could also result in property damage and serious
injury or death. (Page 5-30)
All replaced fuel components must meet United States Coast Guard (“USCG”) and
American Boat & Yacht Council, Inc. (“ABYC”) standards, and must be Underwriter’s
Laboratory (“UL”)-approved. Inferior quality components pose a serious safety threat to
you and others, and the use of inferior components may result in serious injury or death.
Resulting damage may void the warranty. (Page 5-27)
Be sure all fasteners used are approved and rated for marine use. Most fasteners used on
MasterCraft boats are stainless steel or specially coated to resist corrosion. (Page 5-5)
Some engine parts become very hot during operation. This inspection must be com-
pleted while the engine is cool to prevent burns to your skin. Perform this task before
starting the boat. (Page 5-25)
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. (Page 1-14)
Do not continue to run the engine if the oil pressure is low. If you do, the engine may
become so hot that it, or surrounding components, could catch fire. You or others could
be burned and the boat seriously damaged. Check your oil level and add an appropriate
