Carbon Monoxide (CO) Safety
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless
gas. It is produced by gasoline engines and is a component
of exhaust fumes.
Shut off the engine when people are on the swim platform
or in the water around the rear of the boat.
Do not teak surf, wake surf, or do any other activities
which puts people in close proximity of the transom when
the engine is running.
For the most current information on carbon monoxide,

Skiing Safety
Skiers are obligated to be as aware of the fundamental
safety rules as well as the boat operator. If you are new to
water skiing, seek certified training before starting. You
will find it especially helpful to join a local ski club and
USA Waterski when possible.
Always remember that the majority of water skiing injuries
are the result of impacts with other objects, so always
look where you are going and be aware of what is going
on around you.
Ski Pylon Extensions
The use of a ski pylon extension or extensions in excess
of 7-feet vertical is not recommended by Supra on our
products. If you elect to use merchandise such as these,
be aware that they could create excessive stress on your

Failure to adhere to these warnings may result in
severe injury or death to you and/or others.
