SAFETY
Safety Decals
The collision warning decal is
located on the dash of your
watercraft.
Collisions 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.
TAKE EARLY ACTION to avoid collisions. Remember PWCs and other boats
do not have brakes.
DO NOT RELEASE THROTTLE 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 state and local laws that
apply to PWCs.
See Owner’s Manual for more
information.
S Do not follow directly behind PWCs or other boats.
S Do not go near others to spray or splash them with water.
S Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that make it hard for others to
avoid you or understand where you are going.
S Avoid areas with submerged objects or shallow water.
