ity to ensure the safety of his/her pas-

senger(s) and of other water users. Al-

ways inform your passengers of safety

erence and its content is therefore

limited. section It should be read in

erator’s Guide, the Safety Videocas-

sette and the on-product warning/

SAFETY INFORMATION 9

SAFETY CHECK LIST

To fully appreciate the pleasures, en-

joyment and excitement of boating

there are some basic rules that should

be observed and followed by any boat-

er. Failure to follow this safety infor-

mation and safe boating rules could

result in injury, including the possi-

bility of death to you, your passen-

ger(s), the people you lend your wa-

tercraft to, or other water users.

General

qBombardier recommends a mini-

mum operator age of 16 years old.

qA boating safety course is recom-

mended and may be required in

your province or state.

qThe performance of this watercraft

may significantly exceed that of oth-

er craft you may have operated.

Make sure to become completely

familiar with the controls and oper-

ation of the watercraft before em-

barking on your first trip or taking on

a passenger(s). If you have not had

the opportunity to do so, practice

driving solo in a suitable traffic free

area and feel the response of each

control. Be fully familiar with all con-

trols before accelerating above idle

speed. Do not assume that all

PWCs handle identically. Each mod-

el differs, often substantially.

qThe operator of the watercraft con-

trols, and is responsible for the wa-

tercraft’s safe operation. He/she

also has the responsibility to require

that passenger(s) and people, to

whom he/she lends the watercraft

to, read and understand this safety

section Operator’s Guide, the Safety

Videocassette and the on-product

warning/caution labels.

qEnsure that all passengers know

how to swim and how to reboard

the watercraft from the water.

qBoarding in deep water can be

strenuous. Practice in chest-deep

water before operating or embark-

ing your watercraft in deep water.

qA PWC will not self-right if capsized.

The operator and passengers must

know the proper righting procedure

as explained in the Operator’s Guide.

Make sure engine is off before roll-

ing over the watercraft.

qYour local Power Squadron or state/

provincial authorities will be pleased

to conduct a complementary safety

examination of your watercraft and

help you define your needs.

qNever ride after consuming drugs or

alcohol or if you feel tired or ill.

qWhen fueling, follow the safe boating

fueling instructions explicitly, as pro-

vided in your Operator’s Guide and

those given to you at the marina. Al-

ways verify fuel level before use

and during the ride. Apply the prin-

ciple of 1/3 fuel to destination, 1/3

back and 1/3 reserve fuel supply. Do

not carry spare fuel or flammable

liquids in any of the storage or en-

gine compartments.

qAlways stop the engine before fuel-

ing and never allow anyone to remain

on the watercraft while fueling. Al-

ways remember that fuel is flamma-

ble and explosive under certain con-

ditions. Do not smoke or allow open

flames or sparks in the vicinity.

qRespect no wake zones, the rights

of otherwater users and the environ-

ment. As the “skipper”and owner

of a watercraft you are responsible

for damage to other crafts caused by

the wake of your watercraft. Allow

no one to throw refuse overboard.

qDon’t forget that all persons must

assist other boaters in an emergency.
