SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– Use a tow rope of sufficient length
and size and make sure it is ad-
equately secured to your water-
craft. While some watercrafts are
equipped or can be fitted with a
specially designed towing mech-
anism, avoid installing a tow pole
on a PWC. It can become a hazard
should someone fall on it.
– 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.
– Approachapersoninthewaterfrom
the lee side (opposite the direction
of the wind). Turn off the motor be-
fore coming close to the person.
– Participate in water sports only
in safe areas. Stay away from
other boats, channels, beaches,
restricted areas, swimmers, and
heavily traveled waterways and un-
derwater obstructions.
– Turn off the engine and anchor the
watercraft before swimming.
– Swim only in areas designated as
safe for swimming. These are usu-
ally marked with a swim area buoy.
Do not swim alone or at night.

SWIM AREA BUOY
– Do not water ski between sunset
andsunrise. Itisillegalinmostar-
eas.
– Do not drive the watercraft directly
behind a water skier, tuber or wake-
boarder. At 40 km/h (25 MPH) per
hour, the watercraft will overtake a
person who falls in the water 60 m
(197 ft) in front of your watercraft in
about 5 seconds.
– Shut off the engine and remove the
D.E.S.S.
TM
key from its post (lan-
yard) when anyone is in the water
nearby.
– Stay at least 45m (148 ft) away
from areas marked by a diver down
float.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury! Do not al-
low anyone near the propulsion
system or intake grate, even when
the engine is off. Items such as
long hair, loose clothing or per-
sonal flotation device straps can
become entangled in moving
parts resulting in serious injury
or drowning. In shallow water,
shells, sand, pebbles or other ob-
jects could be drawn up by the jet
pump and be thrown rearward.
