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.
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 dur-
ing transport that will not be covered by the warranty!
Securing the Platform
Step 1: Lift the platform to approximately 20 degrees angle from the boat.
Step 2: Lightly push the platform (do not shove nor jam) toward the transom to allow
the platform to set in place.
Step 3: 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 some-
one is on it and could result in injury.
Step 4: Insert one (1) safety hinge pin into each platform bracket.
The platform must be raised and locked
into position for use of the platform
while boating. No one should be allowed
on the platform until the platform is
securely locked in place and the engine
is OFF. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury or death!
Towers
Many MasterCraft models are now equipped with a tower, whether as part of a
standard package or as an optional addition. Again, MasterCraft strongly encourages
the occupants of the boat to review the Common Sense Approach and the Boating
Safety sections of this Owner’s Manual prior to use of the boat and the tower compo-
nent.
Occupants of the boat should never stand, sit or jump from the tower. Nothing but
MasterCraft-approved towing should be attempted. (See Boating Safety section of this
Owner’s Manual.)
Boat owners are strongly urged to purchase tower accessories only through an
authorized MasterCraft dealer. MasterCraft has carefully determined the maximum
amount of accessories and total weight that the tower can safely hold. Ignoring this
information could result in injury to the boat operator and/or passengers.
85 pounds is the maximum weight al-
lowed for accessories mounted on the
tower. Exceeding this restriction can
result in tower failure, which could result
in serious injury or death to the boat op-
erator and/or passengers.
Boats are equipped with the ZFT0 tower, the ZFT4 tower or the ZFT5P tower.
