Attach the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) to wrist and keep it free from the handle- bars so that the engine stops if the opera- tor falls off. After riding, remove the engine shut-off cord from the watercraft to avoid accidental starting or unauthorized use by children or others.

Scan carefully for swimmers and stay away from swimming areas. Swimmers are hard to see and you could acciden- tally hit someone in the water.

Avoid being hit by another boat! You should always take the responsibility to watch for traffic; other boaters may not be watching for you. If they do not see you, or you maneuver more quickly than other boaters expect, you risk a collision.

Maintain a safe distance from other boats or watercraft, and also watch for boats’ ski ropes or fishing lines. Obey the “Rules of the Road,” and be sure to check behind you before making a turn. (See Rules of the Road on pages 1-16 to 1-19.)
