YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Do Your Part
Riding your Polaris watercraft will be an enjoyable
experience for you, your family and friends, but we
must all do our part to ride safely and protect our
environment so we can continue to enjoy this sport for
many years. Please show respect for our waterways,
our wildlife and other people.
Know Your Vehicle
As the operator of the vehicle, you are responsible for
your personal safety, the safety of others, and the
protection of our environment. Read and understand
your owner’s manual, which discusses all aspects of
your vehicle, including safe operating procedures.
Take Safety Training
When you purchased your new Polaris watercraft, you
received a watercraft safety video and an owner’s
manual. Please review this information on a regular
basis. All operators and passengers should read and
understand the owner’s manual before riding.
Store the manual in a waterproof bag in one of the
storage areas on the watercraft. If the vehicle is sold,
the owner’s manual and video should remain with it.
If your owner’s manual is lost or missing, see a Polaris
dealer for a replacement.
Obey the Rules
Familiarize yourself with all boating laws and
regulations in your area. Ride only in areas approved
for personal watercraft. Avoid riding near waterfront
homes, wildlife areas, other boats and swimmers.
Respect Your Neighbors
Some people may find the sound of your watercraft
disturbing. Avoid making excessive noise when riding,
and don’t make any modifications to your watercraft
that may increase the sound or emission level.
Use Care When Refueling
When refueling in or near the water, use care to avoid
spilling fuel. If you do spill, wipe it up promptly and
dispose of the soiled towels appropriately.
Use Biodegradable Products
Choose biodegradable products for cleaning your
watercraft. Avoid environmentally harmful aerosol
sprays, and dispose of used products and containers
appropriately. Never place used oil and other
chemicals (including soiled towels) in the trash, on the
ground or down a drain. Contact your local or state
office of public works to find out how to dispose of
these wastes in your area.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Age Restrictions
This vehicle is not a toy. Polaris recommends that all
operators be 16 years of age or older. Contact local
authorities to find out what the legal age requirements
are in your area of operation.
Maintenance Requirements
Follow the recommended maintenance program
outlined in your owner’s manual. This preventive
maintenance program is designed to ensure that all
critical components on your vehicle are thoroughly
inspected at specific intervals.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings contained in this
manual can result in severe injury or death. A
Polaris watercraft is not a toy. It’s a high
performance powerboat and can be hazardous to
operate. A collision or overturn can occur quickly
if you fail to take proper precautions. Read and
understand your owner’s manual and all warnings
before operating a Polaris watercraft.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS
Your watercraft’s hull and engine identification
numbers are important for model identification when
registering your watercraft, when obtaining insurance,
and when ordering replacement parts. The hull
identification number is located on the rear right-hand
boarding platform (1). The engine identification
number is located at the front of the engine near the
stator cover (2).
Record your vehicle’s identification numbers in the
spaces provided and in another location away from the
vehicle. If the vehicle is destroyed or stolen, you’ll
have the identification numbers required by insurance
and/or law enforcement.
NOTE: Check with your insurance agent about
obtaining insurance coverage for your watercraft, or
see your Polaris dealer.
