YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

Do Your Part

Riding your Polaris watercraft will be an enjoyable

experience for you, your family and friends, but we

must all do our part to ride safely and protect our

environment so we can continue to enjoy this sport for

many years. Please show respect for our waterways,

our wildlife and other people.

Know Your Vehicle

As the operator of the vehicle, you are responsible for

your personal safety, the safety of others, and the

protection of our environment. Read and understand

your owner’s manual, which discusses all aspects of

your vehicle, including safe operating procedures.

Take Safety Training

When you purchased your new Polaris watercraft, you

received a watercraft safety video and an owner’s

manual. Please review this information on a regular

basis. All operators and passengers should read and

understand the owner’s manual before riding.

Store the manual in a waterproof bag in one of the

storage areas on the watercraft. If the vehicle is sold,

the owner’s manual and video should remain with it.

If your owner’s manual is lost or missing, see a Polaris

dealer for a replacement.

Obey the Rules

Familiarize yourself with all boating laws and

regulations in your area. Ride only in areas approved

for personal watercraft. Avoid riding near waterfront

homes, wildlife areas, other boats and swimmers.

Respect Your Neighbors

Some people may find the sound of your watercraft

disturbing. Avoid making excessive noise when riding,

and don’t make any modifications to your watercraft

that may increase the sound or emission level.

Use Care When Refueling

When refueling in or near the water, use care to avoid

spilling fuel. If you do spill, wipe it up promptly and

dispose of the soiled towels appropriately.

Use Biodegradable Products

Choose biodegradable products for cleaning your

watercraft. Avoid environmentally harmful aerosol

sprays, and dispose of used products and containers

appropriately. Never place used oil and other

chemicals (including soiled towels) in the trash, on the

ground or down a drain. Contact your local or state

office of public works to find out how to dispose of

these wastes in your area.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

Age Restrictions

This vehicle is not a toy. Polaris recommends that all

operators be 16 years of age or older. Contact local

authorities to find out what the legal age requirements

are in your area of operation.

Maintenance Requirements

Follow the recommended maintenance program

outlined in your owner’s manual. This preventive

maintenance program is designed to ensure that all

critical components on your vehicle are thoroughly

inspected at specific intervals.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings contained in this

manual can result in severe injury or death. A

Polaris watercraft is not a toy. It’s a high

performance powerboat and can be hazardous to

operate. A collision or overturn can occur quickly

if you fail to take proper precautions. Read and

understand your owner’s manual and all warnings

before operating a Polaris watercraft.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS

Your watercraft’s hull and engine identification

numbers are important for model identification when

registering your watercraft, when obtaining insurance,

and when ordering replacement parts. The hull

identification number is located on the rear right-hand

boarding platform (1). The engine identification

number is located at the front of the engine near the

stator cover (2).

Record your vehicle’s identification numbers in the

spaces provided and in another location away from the

vehicle. If the vehicle is destroyed or stolen, you’ll

have the identification numbers required by insurance

and/or law enforcement.

NOTE: Check with your insurance agent about

obtaining insurance coverage for your watercraft, or

see your Polaris dealer.
