How should you decide if a helmet’s

potential safety benefits outweigh its

potential risks for you? Consider your par-

ticular riding conditions. Consider factors

such as your riding environment and your

riding style and ability. Also consider the

likelihood of traffic congestion, and the

water surface conditions. If you decide to

wear a helmet based upon your riding cir-

cumstances, choose one carefully. Look

for a helmet designed for personal water-

craft use, if possible. Consider a helmet

meeting Snell or DOT standards. If you

will be engaging in closed-course compe-

tition, follow the helmet requirements of

the sanctioning organization.

●

NEVER ride the vehicle after consuming

alcohol or taking drugs.

●

For reasons of safety and proper care,

always perform the pre-operation checks

on page 3-3 before riding.

●

The operator and passengers should

always keep both feet on the footrest floor

when the vehicle is in motion. If you lift

your feet, you increase your chances of

losing your balance, and your feet could

hit objects outside the water vehicle. Do

not give a ride to a child whose feet can-

not reach the footrest floor.

Passengers should firmly hold on-either

to the person in front of them or to the

handgrips provided.

●

If you are pregnant or in poor health, ask

your doctor’s advice on whether it is safe

for you to ride this water vehicle.

●

Do not attempt to modify this water vehi-

cle!

Modifications to your machine may

reduce safety and reliability, and may

make the vehicle unsafe or illegal for use.

●

The operator should always attach the

engine stop switch lanyard (cable) to his

left wrist so that the engine will stop if the

operator falls off.

Be sure the lanyard is not wrapped

around the handlebar or tangled in the

controls which would prevent the lanyard

from pulling away.

●

To prevent accidental starting of the

engine, always remove the lock-plate

from the engine stop lanyard switch when

the engine is not running.
