24 SAFETY INFORMATION
– Never run the watercraft in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed areas such
as boat houses, garage, seawalls or other boats in close proximity. Even if
you try to ventilate engine exhaust, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dan-
gerous levels.
– Never run the watercraft outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a
building through openings such as windows and doors.
– Never stand behind the watercraft while the engine is running. A person
standing behind a running engine may inhale high concentrations of exhaust
fumes.
– Never run the engine at idle for a long period of time. Depending of the wind
speed and orientation, it may push the exhaust fumes into the boat and in-
crease the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to occupants.
– Never ride the watercraft for a long period of time in the transition zone where
the boat is dragging water before getting on plane. In this transition zone the
exhaust gases can be drawn into the boat and increase the risk of carbon
monoxide poisoning to occupants.
After riding, always remove the tether cord from the engine cut-off switch to avoid
unauthorized use by children or others and to prevent starting in a closed envi-
ronment (ex: garage).

Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. Fuel vapors can spread
and be ignited by a spark or flame many feet away from the engine. To reduce
the risk of fire or explosion, follow these instructions:

stalled in this watercraft require special tools, training and identical replace-
ment parts. The fuel system should be serviced only by BRP trained
technician.
– Use only an approved red gasoline container to store fuel.
– Strictly adhere to the instructions in
Fueling
section.
– Never start watercraft if gasoline or gasoline vapor odors are present in the
engine compartment.
– Never start or operate the engine if the fuel cap is not properly secured.
– Do not carry gasoline containers in
ANY
of the storage compartments.
– Use only a BRP approved LinQ fuel caddy, which shall be properly installed
and secured.
– Never refill the fuel caddy on the watercraft. Refill on the dock or shore.
– Never tow a skier or a wakeboarder while having a fuel caddy installed on the
swim platform.
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or death.

doctor immediately.
If gasoline is spilled on you, wash thoroughly with soap and water and change
