Operation...

Gasoline v a pors can explode, result-

ing in in jury or death. Alw ays use

blower for a minimum of 5 m inutes

before s tarting engine, then turn it

OFF above idle speed. Use of the

bilge blower s hould nev er replace

“smell ing” for ga s oli ne v a pors .

If a t a ny time, gas oline leaks/ odors

are found, do not sta r t the engine.

Have the bo at serviced by an autho-

rized S ea -Doo S port Boats dealer.

Always keep in mind that as the

throttle lever is returned to the idle

position, less directi ona l control is

available. To turn th e boat, b oth

steering a nd throttle are necessary.

Like any other boa t, this boat has no

brake. Stopping distance will vary

depe nding on initial sp eed, load,

wind, and water condi tions . P rac-

tice stopping a nd docking in a safe,

traffic-free area to have an i dea of

how long it will take to s t op the boa t

unde r v a rying c onditions. Do not

release the throttle w hen trying to

steer a way from objects . You need

throttle to steer. D o no t use the

boat's reverse to st op.

Do not start or opera te the boat if

any pers on is not properly seated

in a sea t intended for use when un-

derwa y (not the sun deck o r s wim

platform) or if a person is nearby in

the water.

The boat's j et thrust can cause in-

jury. Always accelerate slowly, and

decele rate in a controlle d fashion.

Observe the instructions on all safe-

tylabels. Theyaretheretohelpas-

sure that you have a safe and enjoy-

able outing.

Riding with passenger(s) or pulling

other boats, tubes , a sk ier or a wake

boarder ma k es th e boa t han dle dif-

ferently and requi res greater sk ill.

Certain boats may come equipped

with tow eyelets, a ski pole or a

wakeboard tower w hich can be

used to attach a tow rope for a s k i-

er, tube or wakeb oa r der. Do not

use these attachment p oints or any

other portion of the boat to t ow a

parasail or another craft. P ersona l

injury or severe damag e may occur.

In sha llow water, proceed with

caution and at v ery low speeds.

Grounding or ab ru pt st ops may re-

sult in injury to you, your passengers

or others. Th e jet pump ma y pick up

debris and throw it rea rward causi ng

a risk of injuring people or damaging

the jet pump or other property.

Engine exhaust contains carbon

monoxide (CO), which c a n caus e

injury or death if i nha led in su fficient

quantities. Do not operate the boat

in a confined area or allow CO to ac-

cumulate in or around the boat, or in

enclosed or sheltered a reas. Such

as whe n doc k ed, or when rafting.

Be aw are of risk of CO from exhaust

of other boats .

Educate all occupa nts about the

risks and symptoms of CO accumu-

lation and CO poisonin g, particular-

ly from engine and generator ex -

haust. E duc a t e them about where

engine exhaust outlets (and gen-

erator outlets if so equi pped) a re

located. Regularly inspe ct exhaust

and g enerator system and outlets

for com ponent failures or obstruc-

tions.

Combus tion engines need air t o

operate; consequently th is boa t

can not be tota lly wa tertight. Any

maneuvers such as figure eights

that c a us e the upp er deck to be un-

Respect no w ake zones, the rights

of other water users a nd the en-

vironment. As the “ski pper” and

owner of a boat, you a re responsibl e

for damage to other b oats caused

by the w ake of your boat. Do not let

anyone throw refuse ove rb oard .

Betwe en s uns et and s unrise, us e

duce speed. Do not operate the

boat in reduced v isibility.

Do n ot add accessories or e quip-

ment that may adversely affect visi-

bility or alter c ontrol of the boa t.

The s kipper s hould persona lly take

the helm during storms.

Before Ge tting Underway...

Always perform the pre-operation

check s as s pecified in this Ope ra-

tor's Guide.

Do not exceed the payload or p as-

senger capacities for this boat,

whicharelistedonthecapaci-

ty plate and in the specifications.

Overlo ad ing can affect m an euver-

ability, stability and performance.

Also, hea vy seas reduce ca pac ity. A

payload or person capacity plate is

not an exc use for failure to use c om -

mon sens e or good ju dgment.

Regularly inspect the bo at, t he hull,

engine, safety equipment, and all

other boating gear and keep them in

safe operating condition.

Be sure you have the minimum re-

quired s a fety equipment, PFDs and

any addi tional gea r nee ded for your

cruise.

Check that all lifesaving equipment,

including fire extinguisher, is in

safe operating condition and easi-

ly accessible. Show all passe ngers

where this equipment is, and m a ke

sure the y know how to u se it.

Keep an eye on the weath er. Check

local we ather broadcasts before de-

parture. Be alert to changing condi-

tions.

Keep accurate and up-to-date charts

of the boatin g area o n boa rd. Before

getting underway, check wa ter con-

ditions in the planned boa ting area.

Before d eparture, file a Float Plan

with a responsible pers on a shore.

Keep enough fuel on bo ard for the

planne d trip. Alwa y s verify fuel lev-

el before use and during the ride.

Apply the principle of 1/ 3 of the fuel

to reach your destination, 1/3 to re-

turn, and ke ep 1/3 in reserve. Allow

for changes d ue to adverse weather

or other delays.

Operators and Passengers...

Each boat operator ha s a responsi-

bility to ensure the safety of his/her

passenger(s) and of other w a ter

users. Please fo llow a ll sa fety in-

structions and operate your boa t

with care.

Never opera te a boat w hile un der

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES

Always use the safety lanyard when

operating the boat and ensure that

all pass engers are fa mil iar with its

use.

Ensure that any operator and all

pass engers know how to sw im

Carbon Monoxi de and

Boating

Burning a material containing carbon

produces carbo n monoxide (CO), a n

odorless and colorless gas . Because

CO weighs the same as air, i t can

spread throughout a n enc losed spa c e

unno tice d bec a us e you ca nnot s ee it or

smell it. Any de vice used to bu rn car-

bon-bas ed materials on a boat c an be a

source of C O. Com m on source s of CO

include internal c om bustion engines.

CO reacts w ith the blood to reduce

the ability of the blood to carry oxygen.

The reduc ed oxygen supply to body

tissues resul ts in dea th of the tissue.

Prolonged exposure can caus e brain

dama ge or death. In high concentra-

tions, CO c an be fatal w ithi n m inutes.

The effects of CO in lower concentra-

tions are cumul ative and can be just as

lethal ov er long periods of time.

Symptoms of CO poi s oning inc lude:

Itchy an d watering eyes, flush ed

appeara nc e, throbbing temples, in-

ability to think coherently, ringing in

the ears, tig htness across the chest,

headac hes , drow s iness , nausea, dizzi-

ness, fatigue, vomiting , col lapse, and

convulsions. If any of these s y m ptoms

are evide nt, begin treatment immedi-

ately. Prompt action can make the

difference between life and death .

– Evacuate the area and move the vic-

tim to fresh air.

– Administer oxygen if availab le and

get medical help.

– Open a ll canvas enclosu res to venti-

late the area.

– Inve stigate the source of CO and

take immed iate corrective action.

– Be es peciall y aware of other CO

sources which m a y be near boat.

Carbon Monoxide Accumulation

Follow ing are exa mples of possibl e

situations w here C O may accumu-

late within your boa t w hile docked,

anchored, or underway. Be co m e fa-

miliar wi th these examples a nd their

precautions to prevent personal injury

or death.

WARNING

Exhaust Fumes! Generator or hull

exhaust from other vessels while

either docked or anchored can

emit poisonous CO gas and cause

excessive accumulation within

cabin and cockpit areas. Be alert

for generator exhaust from your

vessel or other vessels alongside.

Exhaust outlets near a pier, dock,

seawall or outlets blocked by any

other means can cause excessive

accumulation of poisonous CO gas

within cockpit area.

VESSEL ALONGSIDE

WARNING

Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide (CO) which can accumu-

late in and around the boat (under bimini top, in cockpit, etc.). CO can be

harmful or fatal if inhaled. Assure there is adequate ventilation whenever

running engine(s).

F00A2IL

WHILE UNDERWAY (BACKDRAFTING)

While underway, CO c onc entration s can incr ea se by bac kd rafting or “the stati on

wagon effect” . Backdrafting is caused by factors such as relative wind direction,

speed, or the bow being too high. To prev ent this, ope n canv as whe nev er possi-

ble to prov ide positive airflow through the hull .

Boat h ous es , seaw alls, and other boats in c lose prox imity or confined are as can

contribute to increased CO lev els. Operat ors mus t be aware that opera tion,

moorin g, and anc horing in a n a rea with other b oa ts puts them in je opa rdy of CO

accum ulat ion from other sources. Likew ise, a boat operator m us t be awa r e of

how ex haust from his boat will affec t others. Operation of t he engines while

moored may cause CO accumulation in your boat and t hose around you.

CO N FINED A REA S

Be s ure to provide a dequa te v entilation. If the w indshield has ven ts, open them

before getting underway to increase positi ve air flow and decrea s e the chances

of CO accumulation.

WARNING

Backdrafting! Under certain conditions, moving air currents can direct

poisonous CO fumes into boat. These fumes can accumulate to dangerous

levels without proper airflow. Provide adequate ventilation, redistribute

the load or bring boat out of high bow angle.

Even with the best boat design a nd c ons truct ion, CO ma y still a ccumulate in

enclosed or confined ar eas under certa in condition s. Continuall y observe pa s s en-

gers for sympto m s o f CO poisonin g.

Educate all passengers about t he

symptoms of co poisoning and

where CO may accumulate

When docked or rafting with

another boat, be aware of exhaust

emissions from the other boat

Confirm t hat water flows from the

exhaust outlet w hen the engine(s)

is (are) started

Listen f or any change in exhaust

sound, w hich could i ndicate an

Wa ter Sports

WARNING

Avoid Personal Injury! Your boat

is not designed for and should not

be used for pulling parasails, kites,

gliders, or any device which can

become airborne. Use boat only

for appropriate water sports.

WARNING

Tea k Sur fi n g is extremely danger-

ous to participants due to their

proximity to the rear of the boat

where direct contact with the ex-

haust fumes from the boat engine

is the highest. Carbon monoxide

poisoning can occur and result in

mental disorientation, dizziness,

drowsiness, and loss of conscious-

ness. The combination of carbon

monoxide exposure and non-use

ofalifejacket(PFD)makethisnew

water recreation activity an incred-

ibly dangerous and potentially

deadly sport.

Water skiing, wak eboa rding, or riding

a towe d, inflata ble appara tus are some

of the more popular water sports. Tak-

ing part i n any w ater s port requires

increased s afety awarene ss by the

participant a nd the boat ope rator. If

you have ne ve r pulled someone be-

hind your boat before, it is a good idea

to spend some hours as a n observer,

working with and learn ing from an ex-

perienced driver. It is also important to

be aware of the skill and experience of
