Operator Safety
The Polaris watercraft are
designed to carry up to 3
passengers (depending on the
model) in addition to the operator.
Check the specifications on pages
8-14 to determine your boat’s
rider capacity. Never allow more
than the specified rider capacity on
the watercraft. Overloading the
watercraft significantly reduces
watercraft stability and control which could result in an accident. When
more than one person is riding, the watercraft handles differently,
which means that the operator must have enough prior riding
experi ence to handle the watercraft with a passenger(s) aboard. NOTE:
Check the specifications on pages 8-14 for the maximum watercraft
load capacity for your watercraft.
Do not use t he watercraft unless it has an
approved fire extinguisher on board. This
is a federal regulation. Know how to reach
your fire extinguisher quickly in case of
fire, and know how to use it before you go
out on the water. If you have any doubts
about your ability to extinguish the fire,
swim away from the craft as quickly as
possible. Immediately seek help from other
boats or those ashore.
