SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES

At least one passenger should be able to operate the watercraft in case the operator is unexpectedly unable to do so.

Operation of this PWC by a person under 16 years of age or a person with a disability that impairs vision, reaction time, judgment, or opera- tion of the controls is NOT recom- mended.

Always use the safety lanyard when operating the watercraft and ensure that all passengers are familiar with its use.

Ensure that any operator and all pas- sengers know how to swim and how to re-board the PWC from the water. Boarding in deep wa- ter can be strenuous. Practice in chest-deep water before operat- ing or embarking your watercraft in deep water. If a passenger does not know how to swim, ensure that passenger wears a PFD at all times and take extra precautions when boating.

Water Sports

WARNING

Avoid personal injury! Your PWC is not designed for and should not be used for pulling parasails, kites, gliders, or any device which can become airborne. Use watercraft only for appropriate water sports.

Water skiing, wakeboarding, or riding a towed, inflatable apparatus are some of the more popular water sports. Tak- ing part in any water sport requires increased safety awareness by the par- ticipant and the watercraft operator. If you have never pulled someone be- hind your PWC before, it is a good idea to spend some hours as an observer, working with and learning from an ex- perienced driver. It is also important to be aware of the skill and experience of the person being pulled. Always have

a second person on board to observe the person in the water so the driver can concentrate on operating the wa- tercraft.

Both the operator and observer should monitor the location of the towrope when participating in watersports. A slack tow rope can become entangled with person(s) or objects on the PWC or in the water, particularly when mak- ing a tight turn or circling, and cause serious personal injury.

Everyone participating in a water sport should observe these guidelines:

Allow only capable swimmers to take part in any water sport.

Always wear an approved personal flotation device (PFD). Wearing a properly designed PFD helps a stunned or unconscious person stay afloat. A Type-IV water-ski vest is an approved and practical PFD.

Have a second person aboard to observe the person being towed and inform the driver about the par- ticipant's hand signals. The driver must give full attention to operat- ing the watercraft and the waters ahead.

Be considerate to others you share the water with.

Do not tow a person in any water sport on a short tow rope such that the person inhales exhaust fumes in concentration. Inhalation of con- centrated exhaust fumes, which contain carbon monoxide, can re- sult in CO poisoning, personal injury and death.

Give immediate attention to a per- son who has fallen. He or she is vulnerable in the water alone and may not be seen by other boaters.

Approach a person in the water from the lee side (opposite the direction of the wind). Turn off the motor be- fore coming close to the person.
