2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 262
Special Attention
Some pylons are removable. In those instances, always be certain
that the pylon has snapped securely into place prior to usage.
Failure to do so could result in injury.
Ensure that removable ski pylons have securely snapped into place
prior to use. Pylons that are not secure can become detached
during operation. In these circumstances, the pylon could hit
persons on board or skiers behind the boat, causing injury.
Troubleshooting
If the pylon will not lock into place, check for debris or other
obstructions in the pylon housing. If the housing is clear and the
pylon still will not snap securely, take the boat to an authorized
MasterCraft dealer for service.
SWIM PLATFORMS
Models
All models. Materials vary, and most models also oer optional
styles.
Purpose
Swim platforms provide easy access between the interior of the
boat and the body of water. Care should always be taken by persons
moving between the boat and the water. While the platforms have
been designed to be slip-resistant, they may still become slick,
and footing can become dicult. All movement should be done
with that in mind. Failure to exercise caution can lead to injury. Also,
boisterous play is inappropriate on the swim platform because
injury can occur.
Boisterous or rough-housing behavior on the swim platform, such
as (but not limited to) trying to push others o the platform, can
lead to injury.
PROPELLERS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Shut o the
engine(s) when near persons in the water prior to using sunpads,
swim platforms or boarding ladders.
Location
Swim platforms are attached to the boat transom.
The platform must be raised and locked into position for
transportation of the boat, as well as use of the platform while
boating. Leaving the platform down may result in damage to the
boat transom during transport that will not be covered by the
warranty.
Securing the Platform
Lift the platform to an angle of approximately 20 degrees from the
boat. Lightly push the platform (do not shove nor jam) toward the
transom to allow the platform to set in place.
Verify that the platform is in the locked position and will not fall
down. Failure to verify that the platform is locked may result in the
platform falling while someone is on it and could result in injury.
Insert one (1) safety hinge pin into each platform bracket.
Operation
Platforms may be permanently attached to the transom. However,
some platforms feature a bracket that allows them to fold down,
reducing the amount of room required for storage. To determine
whether the boat is so equipped, look beneath the platform and see
if there is a bracket with a pin. If so, the swim platform can be folded.
To do so properly, follow these instructions:
NOTE: Platforms themselves are fairly heavy, and releasing the
bracket may result in the platform falling down, and thereby striking
the transom with excessive force. Please provide some kind of
manual support to the platform at the time of releasing the bracket,
and then slowly lower the platform into place for towing or storage.
NOTE: The attitude adjustment plate may also need to be lowered
prior to lowering the swim platform.
Folding Down the Platform
Remove the safety hinge pins in each swim platform bracket.
Begin by lifting the platform about four (4) inches upward while
easing the platform away from the boat transom. This will allow the
platform to move freely on the hinge.
NOTE: Ensure there is no tightness while the swim platform is
being folded. There should be no binding during this action.
