WEAR A PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE (PFD).
All riders must wear a Coast Guard approved PFD that is suitable for
personal watercraft (PWC) use.
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Severe internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of falling
into water or being near jet thrust nozzle. Normal swimwear does not adequately protect against forceful water entry into lower
body opening(s) of males or females. All riders must wear a wet suit bottom or clothing that provides equivalent protection (see
Operator’s Guide). Footwear, gloves and goggles/glasses are recommended.
KNOW BOATING LAWS.
Bombardier recommends a minimum operator age of 16 years old. Know the operator age and
training requirement for your province/state. A boating safety course is recommended and may be required in your
province/state.
ATTACH ENGINE SHUT-OFF CORD (LANYARD)
to PFD and keep it
free from handlebars so that engine stops if operator falls off. After
riding, remove cord from PWC to avoid unauthorized use by children or
others.
RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS AND AVOID AGGRESSIVE
MANEUVERS
to reduce the risk of loss of control, ejection, and col-
lision. This is a high performance boat –
not a toy. Sharp turns or jumping
wakes or waves can increase the
risk of back/ spinal injury
(paralysis), facial injuries, and
broken legs, ankles, and
other bones. Do not jump
wakes or waves.
DO NOT APPLY
THROTTLE WHEN
ANYONE IS AT REAR OF
PWC
– turn engine off or
keep engine at idle. Water
and/or debris exiting jet
thrust nozzle can cause
severe injury.
KEEP AWAY FROM
INTAKE GRATE
while engine is on. Items
such as long hair, loose
clothing, or PFD straps
can become entangled in
moving parts resulting in
severe injury or drow-
ning.
NEVER RIDE AFTER
CONSUMING DRUGS
OR ALCOHOL.
READ AND FOLLOW
OPERATOR’S
GUIDE.
Collision result in more
INJURIES AND DEATHS
than
any other type of accident for personal watercraft
(PWC).
TO AVOID COLLISIONS: SCAN
CONSTANTLY
for people, objects, and other
watercraft. Be alert for
conditions that limit your visibility or
block your vision of others.
OPERATE DEFENSIVELY
at safe
speeds and keep a safe
distance away from people,
objects, and other watercraft.
• Do not follow directly
behind PWCs or other
boats.
• Do not go near others to
spray or splash them with
water.
• Avoid sharp turns or other
maneuvers that make it
hard for others to avoid you
or understand where you
are going.
• Avoid areas with submer-
ged objects or shallow
water.
TAKE EARLY ACTION
to
avoid collisions. Remember,
PWCs and other boats
do not have brakes.
DO NOT RELEASE THRO-
TTLE WHEN TRYING TO
STEER
away from objects
– you need throttle to steer.
Always check throttle and
steering controls for proper
operation before starting
PWC. Follow navigation
rules and province / state
and local laws that apply
to PWCs. See Operator’s
Guide for more informa-
tion. Seating is limited
to one operator only.
