of the most popular watercraft on

tercraft (PWC) can provide you and

your family or friends the opportunity

to fully enjoy the natural beauty and

excitement of the world’s waterways.

Welcome to fun on water!

With this new enjoyment and freedom

however comes the responsibility of

safety for yourself, your passengers,

the people you lend your watercraft to,

and other water users. Please follow

all safety instructions and operate your

watercraft with care. Be sure every

operator of your watercraft fully under-

stands the controls and operation of it

and the importance of courteous, re-

sponsible riding. Each operator has a

responsibility to ensure the safety of

his/her passenger(s) and of other wa-

ter users. Always inform your passen-

gers of safety precautions.

mon sense or obvious. Irrespective,

Although the mere reading of such in-

formation does not eliminate the haz-

ard, the understanding and application

correct use of the watercraft.

Failure to follow this safety section

may result in severe injury or death.

This safety section is for initial ref-

authorities.

Many states or provinces have re-

quirements regarding boating safety

strongly recommends that any water-

craft operator completes a safety and

competence boating course. Check

with your local Coast Guard or Power

Sail Squadron in your area for course

availability.

erate your watercraft.

al Safety Inspection of your personal

watercraft. Please contact your deal-

er for further details.

Finally, we urge you to visit your dealer

regularly for regular and safety main-

tenance and for any accessories you
