Safety information
The safe use and operation of this
watercraft is dependent upon the use of
proper riding techniques, as well as upon
the common sense, good judgment, and
expertise of the operator. Before using
this watercraft, make sure that its use is
permitted under local laws, by-laws and
regulations and always operate the
watercraft in full conformity with any
requirements and limitations imposed.
Every operator should know the follow-
ing requirements before riding the water-
craft.
●Before operating the watercraft, read this
Owner’s/Operator’s Manual, the Riding
Practice Guide, and all warning and cau-
tion labels on the watercraft. These mate-
rials should give you an understanding of
the watercraft and its operation.

operator and up to 2 passengers. Never
exceed the maximum load limit or allow
