SAFETY
Operator Safety
Safe Riding Position
Falling off a watercraft can result in serious injury. The
operator and any passengers should always keep both
feet firmly planted on the floorboards while the
watercraft is in motion. The passenger should face
forward and firmly hang on to the operator’s waist,
except in towing situations, when the spotter faces the
rear and uses the grab handle to hold on.
Turning an d Accelerating
High thrust makes the watercraft turn more sharply.
Lower thrust makes the watercraft turn less sharply.
Making sharp turns at high speeds may cause the
watercraft to “spin out” and may cause rider(s) to be
ejected from the watercraft. Make gradual turns when
operating at higher speeds.
Turning and accelerating without checking for other
boats and objects in your path can cause an accident
and result in serious injury or death. Always look
behind the watercraft and to each side before
accelerating and before making turns. Always be
aware of obstacles, swimmers and other watercraft.
Overloading the Watercraft
WARNING
Overloading a watercraft will significantly reduce
vehicle stability and control, which could result in
an accident and lead to serious injury or death.
Never exceed the specified rider capacity for the
watercraft.
Your Polaris
watercraft is designed
to carry an operator
anduptotwo
passengers. When
more than one person
is riding, the
watercraft handles
differently. Make
sure that you feel comfortable driving the watercraft by
yourself before allowing any passengers to ride with
you.
Do not exceed the capacity of the watercraft under any
circumstances. Refer to the capacity decal at the rear
of the watercraft and on page 13 of this manual.
