SAFE BOATING PRACTICES

YOU are responsible for your own safety, the safety of your passengers, and the safety of fellow boaters. Ride smart from the start and we all win!

Drugs and Alcohol

Do not use drugs or drink alcohol while operating a PWC. Like driving a car, driving a watercraft requires sober, at- tentive care. Operating a watercraft while intoxicated or under the influ- ence of drugs is not only dangerous, but it is also a Federal offense carry- ing a significant penalty. These laws are vigorously enforced. The use of drugs and alcohol, singly or in combi- nation, decreases reaction time, im- pedes judgment, impairs vision, and inhibits your ability to safely operate a watercraft.

WARNING

Alcohol consumption and boat- ing do not mix! Operating un- der the influence endangers the lives of your passengers and other boaters. Federal laws prohibit op- erating a watercraft under the in- fluence of alcohol or drugs.

Safe Operation

Always keep in mind that as the throttle lever is released to idle posi- tion, less directional control is avail- able, and as the engine is off, di- rectional control is lost. You need throttle to steer.

Know the waters in which the wa- tercraft is to be operated. Current, tides, rapids, hidden obstacles, wakes and waves etc. can affect safe operation. It is not advisable to operate the watercraft in rough or inclement weather.

Keep the safety lanyard attached to the operator’s PFD at all times and keep it free from handlebars so that engine stops if operator falls off. Af- ter riding, remove DESS™ key from its post to avoid unauthorized use by children or others. If operator falls off the watercraft and safety lanyard is unattached, the watercraft will not stop.

Ride within your limits and level of riding ability. Avoid aggressive ma- neuvers to reduce the risk of loss of control, ejection and collision. Understand and respect the perfor- mance or your watercraft.

Always ride responsibly and safely. Use common sense and courtesy.

While your watercraft has the ca- pacity of operating at high speeds, it is strongly recommended that high speed operation only be ap- plied when ideal conditions exist and are permitted. Higher speed operation requires a higher degree of skill and increases the risk of se- vere injuries.

The forces generated on the body of riders while turning, negotiat- ing waves or wakes, operating in choppy waters, or falling off the wa- tercraft, especially at higher speeds, may cause injury including the pos- sibility of broken legs and other bones or more serious injuries. Re- main flexible and avoid sharp turns.

In shallow water, proceed with caution and at very low speeds. Grounding or abrupt stops may re- sult in injury. Debris may also be picked up and be thrown rearward by the jet pump onto people or prop- erty.

Do not use the watercraft’s reverse, if so equipped, to stop. You or your passenger(s) could be violently ejected forward onto the handle- bars or even off the watercraft onto the hazard.

PWCs are not designed for night- time operation.
