Operator Safety

Your Polaris watercraft is capable of towing, but please be aware that towing can cause reduced steering control. Be extremely careful when towing other watercraft, skiers or objects behind this watercraft, as they have a significant impact on handling and steering. Observe local and state laws regarding water skiing and towing.

Do not allow passengers to stand on the boarding platform while the watercraft is running or in motion. Passengers should always remain seated.

Never travel over a ski jump or attempt to jump waves, wakes or other objects in the water. Doing so may severely damage the watercraft and cause personal injury due to the hard impact, a temporary loss of visibility, possible loss of control and reduced reaction time.

SAFETY

Always securely attach the lanyard cord (1) to the operator’s left wrist or PFD before starting the watercraft. If the operator falls off, the engine will immediately lose power.

Be sure the lanyard cord is free and not wrapped around the handlebars or controls. When the watercraft is not in service, disconnect the lanyard from the engine stop switch to prevent accidental starting of the engine.
