Understand and respect the performance or your watercraft. Always ride responsibly and safely. Use common sense and courtesy. While your watercraft has the capacity of operating at high speeds, it is strongly recommended that high speed operation only be applied when ideal conditions exist and are permitted. Higher speed operation requires a higher degree of skill and increases the risk of severe injuries. The forces generated on the body of riders while turning, negotiating waves or wakes, operating in choppy waters, or falling off the watercraft, especially at higher speeds, may cause injury including the possibility of broken legs and other bones or more serious injuries. Remain flexible and avoid sharp turns. In shallow water, proceed with caution and at very low speeds. Grounding or abrupt stops may result in injury. Debris may also be picked up and be thrown rearward by the jet pump onto people or property. Do not use the watercraft’s reverse, if so equipped, to stop. You or your passenger(s) could be violently ejected forward onto the handlebars or even off the watercraft onto the hazard. PWCs are not designed for nighttime operation. 18 _______ ________ SAFETY INFORMATION SAFE BOATING PRACTICES Operator/Passenger Awareness The watercraft operator has the responsibility to inform passenger(s) of safety measures. Never turn handlebar while someone is nearby rear of watercraft. Keep away from steering moving parts (nozzle, side vanes, linkage, etc.). Do not start or operate the watercraft if anyone is seated on the sun deck, if so equipped, or swim platform, or is nearby in the water. Water and/or debris exiting jet thrust nozzle can cause severe injury. The operator and passenger(s) should be properly seated before starting or moving the watercraft, and at all times when watercraft is in motion. All passenger(s) should be instructed to use the handholds or seat straps provided, or in the alternative on a PWC, to hold the waist of the person in front of them. When accelerating on a PWC with a passenger(s), whether from a complete stop or while underway, always do so progressively. Fast acceleration may cause your passenger( s) to loose their balance or grip and fall rearward off the watercraft. Make sure that your passenger(s) know of, or anticipate, any rapid acceleration. Keep away from intake grate while engine is on. Items such as long hair, loose clothing, or PFD straps can become entangled in moving parts resulting in severe injury or drowning. Severe internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of falling into water or being near jet thrust nozzle. To prevent accidental starting, always detach the DESS key from its post when swimmers are boarding or nearby, or during removal of any weeds or debris from the intake grate. It should be remembered that sun, wind, alcohol, drugs, fatigue and illness, may impair your judgement and reaction time. On a PWC, never place your feet and legs in the water to aid turning. Operation by Minors Minors should always be supervised by an adult whenever operating a watercraft. Many states have laws regarding the minimum age and licensing requirements of minors. Be sure to contact the state boating authorities for information. BRP recommends a minimum operator age of 16 years old. Manoeuvrability of the Watercraft/Towing Do not overload the watercraft or take on more passengers than designated for the particular watercraft. Respect the maximum load limit rating of the ski/wakeboard post. Overloading can affect maneuverability, stability and performance. Avoid adding on accessories, or equipment which may alter your control of the watercraft. Certain PWCs may come or can be equipped with tow eyelets or a ski pole which can be used to attach a tow rope for a skier, tube or wake- boarder. Do not use these attachment points or any other portion of the PWC to tow a parasail or another craft. Personal injury or severe damage may occur. Riding with a passenger(s) or pulling a tube, skier or wakeboarder makes the watercraft handle differently and requires greater skill. Always respect the safety and comfort of your passenger(s) and person being towed on skis, wakeboard or other water products. ________ ________ 19 SAFETY INFORMATION SAFE BOATING PRACTICES Always carry an observer when pulling a tube, skier or wakeboarder, proceed with only as much speed as required and follow the observer’s instructions. Unless absolutely necessary, do not make tight, sharp turns. Keep a safe distance from the docks, other swimmers, craft or objects. Use a tow rope of sufficient length and size and make sure it is adequately secured to your watercraft. While some craft are equipped or can be fitted with a specially designed towing mechanism avoid installing a tow pole on a PWC. It can become a hazard should someone fall on it. Be advised that serious injury can result if the tow rope becomes slack during a tight turn or when circling. The rope could become wr...
