Operator Safety
Weather and Darkness
Be aware of severe weather conditions. Observe weather forecasts and
conditions before venturing out, and do not operate the watercraft when
visibility is poor and when the water is rough. Operation of the
watercraft in poor weather conditions can result in an accident and lead
to severe injury, hypothermia or death.
Never operate the watercraft after sunset, before sunrise or i n any
condition of darkness. The vehicle is not equipped with lights, which
makes i t unsafe and illegal to operate in darkness.
Always ride with another watercraft when operating in remote areas or
in large areas of open water. Carry a flare gun on board to signal for
help if necessary.
Protective Apparel
Normal swimming attire may not provide adequate protection while
riding a watercraft. At the rear of the watercraft, the jet pump emits a
forceful stream of water that can injure body orifices, such as mouth,
eyes, ears, rectum and vagina. In addition, falling off the watercraft
while operating at higher speeds may lead to injury due to impact with
the water. All riders must wear wet suit bottoms or clothing that
provides equivalent protection.
NOTE: If a passenger falls
from the watercraft, release the
throttle immediately. Do not
exceed idle speed if any person
is within 50 feet (15 m) of the
rear of the watercraft.
