Most accidents can be avoided if the operator is completely familiar with the boat, its operation and can recognize potentially hazardous situations. In addition to everyday safety, failure to observe the safety recommendations may result in severe personal injury or death to you or to others. Use caution and common sense when operating your boat. Do not take unnecessary chances! Remember that at least three people are needed for safely towing watersport participants. Failure to adhere to these warnings may result in severe injury or death to you and/or others. • Look before you turn the boat. As a boater you are obligated to maintain a course and speed unless it is safe to alter course and speed. Look before you turn. • Improper operation of the boat is extremely dangerous. Operators must read and understand all operating manuals supplied with the boat before operation. • On-board equipment must always conform to the governing federal, state and local regulations. • Prior to starting the engine, you MUST open the engine box and check the engine compartment and bilge for gasoline and oil vapors. You MUST also operate the blower for at least four minutes. Failure to do so may result in fire or explosion. If you smell gasoline vapor or see liquid gasoline, DO NOT start the engine.

You or others may be thrown from the boat. • DO NOT allow any type of spark or open flame on board. It may result in fire or explosion. • DO NOT leave children in the boat without adult supervision. • DO NOT sit in front of the operator to avoid obstructing the operator’s view. • DO NOT dive from the boat without being absolutely sure of the depth of the water, otherwise severe injury or death may occur from striking the bottom or submerged objects. • DO NOT swim near the boat when the engine is running. Being in NEUTRAL is not enough, the propeller may still be turning and carbon monoxide may be present. • DO NOT replace your boat’s marine parts with automotive parts. • DO NOT remove or modify any components of the fuel system except for maintenance by qualified personnel. Tampering with fuel components may cause a hazardous condition. • DO NOT wrap ski lines or mooring lines around any body part which may become entangled in the line if you fall overboard and the boat is moving. • Keep track of ski lines and dock lines so they do not become entangled in the propeller. • Be sure to securely attach the engine Emergency Stop switch lanyard to a part of your clothing, such as a belt loop, when operating the boat. • Be sure to keep a watch for other boats, swimmers and obstructions in the water. Stay away from other boats and personal watercraft. • Be sure to have an experienced operator at the helm and always have at least three people present for safe towing – one to drive, one to observe and one to ski or ride. Section 1 Naut Air Sec 1_2008.qxd:Naut Air Sec 1.qxd 6/24/08 3:05 PM Page 1-2 1-3 • Seek shelter from open water if there is threat of lightning. • Operate slowly in congested areas such as marinas and mooring areas. • The bow may be slippery. Do not go forward while the engine is running. • When you leave the boat take the keys with you. This will keep untrained and unauthorized persons from operating the boat. • Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide. • DO NOT operate the engine in a confined space. • DO NOT go under the boat cover with the engine running or shortly after the engine has been running. • DO NOT use boarding platform with the engine running. • DO NOT “teak surf.” • Allow adequate ventilation with fresh air before entering. • Slow down when crossing waves or wake in order to minimize the impact on passengers and the boat.
