Failure to comply with the requirement of operating the blower for
at least four (4) minutes before starting the engine may result in
serious injury or death to you and/or others.
• Never remove or modify any components of the fuel system. Re-
moval or modification of any component of the fuel system may
cause a hazardous situation and will void the warranty.
The modern MasterCraft fuel delivery lines are pressurized and
attempting to loosen or remove them may result in the uncon-
trolled release of fuel, which can be environmentally hazardous,
and can cause injury.
• Never allow any type of spark or open flame on board. It may
result in fire or explosion.
COMMON SENSE ADVICE
Avoid any activity that may result in damage to the boat, thereby
voiding the warranty. Some things, such as avoiding stationary
objects, are obvious. However, even less obvious activities can
cause damage to a boat, no matter how well-built. For example,
while a beach or shoreline may seem soft while walking on it,
running a boat up onto shore may result in significant scratches
in the gel coat and fiberglass finish. The causes of many kinds of
damage are usually quite obvious to trained service personnel, and
if they determine that damage was caused by misuse or activity
such as “beaching,” such results can void the warranty.
MasterCraft cannot anticipate every type of activity or neglect that
could result in damage to the boat or that may cause illness, injury
or even death to boaters. The operator, owner and/or all persons
on board are responsible for using common sense and a careful
thought process to ensure that every measure has been taken
to keep boating enjoyable for many years to come. A MasterCraft
boat can be the source of countless hours of family fun, as well as
building friendships, but the boating experience remains safe only
if you, and everyone on board, use your head before, during and
after your boating activity.
As you anticipate many good times ahead with your MasterCraft
boat, be sure that first and foremost, you are well-prepared to
be responsible.
For most activities the boat operator should be seated at the
helm position. Some situations may require standing at the helm
to maintain visibility over the bow. When standing is necessary
make certain that the safety shut o lanyard is attached to your
clothing or PFD. Operating the boat while standing may result in a
loss of control which could cause serious injury or death.
