SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
Avoid personal injury!
Do not allow
anyone near the propulsion system or
intake grate, even when the engine
is off. Items such as long hair, loose
clothing or personal flotation device
straps can become entangled in mov-
ing parts resulting in serious injury or
drowning. In shallow water, shells,
sand, pebbles or other objects could
be drawn up by the jet pump and be
thrown rearward.

For more information on approved, le-
gal and safe practice of water sports,
please contact the local legal authority
on water sports safety for the area you
plan to practice in.
Hypothermia
Hypothermia, the loss of body heat
resulting in a subnormal body temper-
ature, is a significant cause of death in
boating accidents. After an individual
has succumbed to hypothermia, he or
she will lose consciousness and then
drown.
PFDs can increase survival time be-
cause of the insulation they provide.
Naturally, the warmer the water, the
less insulation one will require. When
operating in cold water (below 4°C
(40°F)) consideration should be given
to using a coat or jacket style PFD as
they cover more body area than the
vest style PFDs.
Some points to remember about hy-
pothermia protection:
– While afloat in the water, do not at-
tempt to swim unless it is to reach
a nearby watercraft, fellow sur-
vivor, or a floating object onto which
you can lean or climb. Unneces-
sary swimming increases the rate
of body heat loss. In cold water,
drown-proof methods that require
putting your head in the water are
not recommended. Keep your head
out of the water. This will greatly
lessen heat loss and increase your
survival time.
– Maintain a positive attitude about
your survival and rescue. This will
improve your chances of extending
your survival time until you can be
rescued. Your will to live does make
a difference!
– If there is more than one person
in the water, huddling together is
recommended. This action tends to
reduce the rate of heat loss and thus
increase the survival time.
– Always wear your PFD. It won't help
you fight off the effects of hypother-
mia if you don't have it on when you
go into the water.
Safe Boating Courses
Many countries recommend or require
a boating safety course. Check with
your local competent authorities.
Check local and federal boating laws
applicable to the waterways where
you intend to use your watercraft.
Learn the local navigation rules. Know
and understand the applicable naviga-
tion system (such as buoys and signs).
Carrying Loads
When carrying load on the rear plat-
form of the watercraft or onto cargo
accessories, reduce your speed and
adapt your driving behavior to reduce
the risk of ejection from watercraft or
contact with cargo possibly leading to
injuries.
