1 SAFETY INFORMATION
• Attach the engine shut-off cord (lan-
yard) to the PFD and keep it free
from the steering wheel or other
controls so that the engine stops if
the operator accidentally leaves the
helm. Failure to attach the engine
shut-off cord could result in a run-
away boat if the operator is ejected.
After operation, remove the engine
shut-off cord and the keys to avoid
accidental starting or unauthorized
use by children or others.

• Scan constantly for swimmers and
stay away from swimming areas.
Swimmers are hard to see and you
could accidentally hit someone in
the water.
• Avoid being hit by another boat! You
should always take responsibility to
watch for other traffic; other boaters
may not be watching for you. If they
do not see you, or you maneuver
more quickly than they expect, you
risk a collision.
• Maintain a safe distance from other
boats or watercraft, and also watch
for boats’ ski ropes or fishing lines.
Obey the “Rules of the Road” (see
page 1-15), and be sure to check
behind you before making a turn.
HAZARD INFORMATION
• Never start the engine or let it run
for any length of time in an enclosed
area. Exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas
that may cause death within a short
time. Always operate the boat in an
open area.
It is also important to have the
engines off when anyone is using
the extended swim step on models
equipped with one because of the
carbon monoxide in the exhaust
gases coming from underneath the
step.
BOAT CHARACTERISTICS
• Jet thrust turns the boat. Moving the
throttle levers completely back to
idle or the Neutral position produces
only minimum thrust. If you are trav-
eling at speeds above trolling, you
will have rapidly decreasing ability
to steer without throttle. You may still
have some turning ability immedi-
ately after moving the throttle levers
back to idle, but once the engines
slow down, the boat will no longer
respond to steering wheel input until
you apply throttle again or you reach
a trolling speed. Practice turning in
