To Bring
Always carry the regulatory safety
items and have them conveniently
on board available for use. Check
the local regulations or consult your
authorized Sea-Doo dealer. Such re-
quired safety items usually include,
without limitation, a sound signaling
device such as a whistle, a watertight
flashlight or approved flares, a buoy-
ant heaving line, an anchor and rope*,
a bailer*, and an appropriate fire ex-
tinguisher*. The items marked with
a “*” are not required in Canada if all
persons on board a PWC are wearing
aPFD.
A cellular telephone in a waterproof
bag or container has also been found
to be beneficial to boaters when in dis-
tress or just for contacting someone
on shore.
To Do
Read and understand all warning/cau-
tion labels on your Sea-Doo PWC,
your Operator’s Guide, all other safety
documents, and watch properly your
Safety Videocassette, before operat-
ing. Always keep in mind that the
““ symbol, the Warning symbol,
identifies an instruction which, if not
followed, may cause serious personal
injuries including the possibility of
death.
Check local and federal boating laws
applicable to the waterways where
youintendtouseyourwatercraft.
Learn the local rules of the road.
Know and understand the applicable
navigation system (such as buoys and
signs).
Knowthewatersinwhichthewater-
craft is to be operated. Current, tides,
rapids, hidden obstacles, wakes and
waves etc. can affect safe operation.
It is not advisable to operate the water-
craft in rough or inclement weather.
For safety reasons and proper care,
always perform “Daily Preoperation
Checks” as specified in your Oper-
ator’s Guide before operating your
watercraft.
Keep the engine shut-off cord (safety
lanyard) attached to the operator’s
PFD at all times and keep it free from
handlebars so that engine stops if op-
erator falls off. After riding, remove
cord from PWC to avoid unauthorized
use by children or others. If operator
falls off the watercraft and safety lan-
yard is unattached, the watercraft will
not stop.
