charge or even an explosion of the battery, which could result in death or serious injury. (Page 16-2,16-4, and 19-2)

The engine box serves as a machinery guard. The engine must be OFF whenever the box is open. Clothing or body parts can get caught in moving parts, causing death or serious injury. Keep away from moving parts! (Page 5-5,16-3)

Adding additional ballast to a MasterCraft boat is not recom- mended, and can result in impaired visibility, diminished han- dling characteristics and instability when operating your boat, and may result in potential structural and/or engine damage to the boat, which damage will not be covered by your warranty.

(Page 10-1)

Use of improper parts may cause component or engine failure. Such failure may result in death or serious injury! (Page 12-1)

Towers on boats are intended for use for the towing of a maxi- mum of two (2) individuals using water skis, wakeboards or rec- reational towables only. Use of the tower to tow other boats, kites or for any other purpose may result in serious injury or death, and may damage the boat, which will not be covered by warranty. (Page 1-3)

All boats have weight limits. Failure to adhere to the posted limits can cause operation instability and/or the boat to sink. This may result in serious injury or death, as well as significant damage to the boat, which will not be covered by warranty. (Page 2-1)

While operating attitude adjustment plates use caution. Im- proper use of plates can cause accidents, which may result in serious injury or death.

While the boat is underway do not move one plate up or down significantly as this may cause listing.

While at higher speeds do not over-trim, as this will cause the bow to lower quickly, resulting in a reduction of speed and may cause the boat to veer.

When in following seas or when running an inlet, the plates should be fully retracted. This will allow for optimal performance.

ELECTRO-MECHANICAL ACTUATORS PROVIDE AN IN- STANT RESPONSE. WHEN MAKING ADJUSTMENTS, USE SHORT MO-

MENTARY TAPS OF THE SWITCH. (Page 5-2)

Improperly stored anchors and/or anchor line that has been improperly re-wound through the windlass system, may create a hazardous situation. People on-board can trip on improperly stored materi- als, which can result in injury. Improp- erly stored materials can also move too freely during 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 19-1)

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 19-8)

MasterCraft has determined that for the tower utilized on the 2009 models, the total weight of all accessories mounted on the tower should never exceed 85 pounds, regardless of whether the accessories are MasterCraft-approved and supplied or have come from an aftermarket supplier. Exceeding this restriction can result in tower failure, which could result in serious injury or death to the boat operator and/or passengers. (Page 19-9)

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 12-1)

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 compo- nents may result in serious injury or death. Resulting damage may void the warranty. (Page 16-8)

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 ap- propriate amount of approved motor oil before operating again or have your boat serviced by your local authorized dealer’s service department. Note that damage to your engine from inap- propriate oil levels can be costly to repair. Such damage is not covered by your warranty. (Page 5-5)
