MasterCraft X-5 User Manual

Safety
Your safety, as well as the safety of others with
and around you, is a direct result of how you operate
and maintain your boat. You—and anyone who will
be operating this boat—should read and seek to fully
comprehend this Owner’s Manual, and any additional
information provided by component manufactur-
ers and suppliers. Make sure that you understand all
of the controls and operating instructions before at-
tempting to operate the boat. Improper operation is
extremely dangerous!
The basic safety rules are outlined in this section of
the Owner’s Manual. Additional precautions through-
out the Manual are noted by the following symbols:
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert
you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all
safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situ-
ation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situa-
tion which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situ-
ation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indi-
cates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in property damage.
The precautions listed in this Owner’s Manual
and on the boat are not all-inclusive. If a procedure,
method, tool or part is not specically recommended
by MasterCraft, using it may place you and others in
an unsafe situation; in addition, you may render your
warranty void. Remember: Always use common sense
when operating, servicing or repairing the boat!
Observing the safety recommendations found in
this Owner’s Manual is critical to keeping your boating
experience as safe as possible during routine opera-
tion. Your failure to do so may result in severe personal
injury or death to you and/or others. Use caution and
common sense when operating your boat. Do not ever
take unnecessary chances!
General Precautions
Be certain that all operators of your boat are aware of the safety information within
this Owner’s Manual and that they use it to conform to boat safety principles.
Boating safety starts with a thorough understanding of boat operations. In addition
to careful review of this Owner’s Manual, you should also be aware that many sources of
helpful information are available. MasterCraft urges you to pursue additional training prior
to the independent operation of your boat. However, training at any time from recognized
boating and/or safety organizations is benecial.
