Important information

This practice guide does not replace the Owner’s/Operator’s Manual, Riding

Instruction Card, or Basic Orientation Video supplied with the watercraft, or the

labels on it.

Be sure to study these instructional materials thoroughly before you begin to oper-

ate this watercraft.

WARNING

Collisions result in more injuries and deaths than any other type of accident for per-

sonal 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 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 submerged objects or shallow water.

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.
