Your Shockwave S5 Sentinel marine suspension base will mitigate the effects of shock and vibration, reducing the potential of injury, but it will NOT prevent
the possibility of injury. The increased level of comfort and control provided by Shockwave S5 Sentinel marine suspension seating will allow the craft to operate
at higher speeds in sea states which create high shock loads on the craft and potentially the occupants. High shock loads could potentially exceed the seat’s
capability to mitigate.
Operating marine craft in a high shock load environment is inherently hazardous. Tolerance to the effects of shock and vibration vary from person to person and
it is the responsibility of the craft operator to ensure the safety of each person on board. Pain and/or discomfort are indicators of a potential injury. Constantly
monitor the physical state of the craft and the personnel on board. Hazardous operation of the craft may result in serious injury, death or damage to the craft.
Follow IMPORTANT instructions located throughout this User Manual to prolong the appearance
and service life of your Shockwave S5 Sentinel marine suspension base.
