~DANGER!!

L_~~~::~J POWER LINES

Do not attempt to step the mast in an area of overhead wires. A mast contacting an electrical wire could be fatal.

Lay the mast on top of the frame with the mast head aft. Notes: (a) With experience, the mast can be stepped by one person, but Hobie Cat recommends that you have someone assist you; (b) Position the boat facing into the wind, and on level ground. If the trailer is not attached to a vehicle, chock the wheels and have someone stand on the trailer tongue. DANGER: Do not raise the mast if overhead power lines are present.

THE HOBIE(!) CATS SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL MAY BE FITTED WITH OPTIONAL OR ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT.
