The operator is responsible for the safety of the crew. He must inform and protect
the passenger(s) invited to ride.
Instruct all passenger(s) to be properly seated when the engine is running. Each
passenger should be able to use the handhold under the seat and grab the hand-
rail if needed when properly seated.
Make sure that every passenger has a seat properly installed.
Refer to
Watercraft Safety Labels
to check the maximum passenger capacity
and the correct underway seating position for your watercraft.
Be sure passengers are properly seated and holding on. A handhold is located
under the front of seat cushion. Refer to
Passenger Seat
in
Equipment
. Passen-
gers can fall in or can be thrown off the watercraft during unexpected accelera-
tion or aggressive operation. Avoid aggressive operation, sharp turns, and
unexpected acceleration or deceleration.

Falls can result in severe injury or death.
When going over waves, riders(s) may raise their body slightly off the seat to ab-
sorb the shocks with their legs.
When braking or decelerating, riders must brace themselves against the deceler-
ation force to prevent from moving forward on the watercraft and losing balance.
Riding with passenger (s) makes the watercraft handle differently and requires
greater skill.
If swimming is part of the trip, prepare this activity before boarding.
