SAFETY
Operator Safety
Your Polaris watercraft is capable of towing, but please
be aware that towing can cause reduced steering
control. Be extremely careful when towing other
watercraft, skiers or objects behind this watercraft, as
they have a significant impact on handling and
steering. Observe local and state laws regarding water
skiing and towing.
Do not allow passengers to stand on the boarding
platform while the watercraft is running or in motion.
Passengers should always remain seated.
Never travel over a ski jump or attempt to jump waves,
wakes or other objects in the water. Doing so may
severely damage the watercraft and cause personal
injury due to the hard impact, a temporary loss of
visibility, possible loss of control and reduced reaction
time.
Always securely attach the lanyard cord (1) to the
operator’s left wrist or PFD before starting the
watercraft. If the operator falls off, the engine will
immediately lose power.
Be sure the lanyard cord is free and not wrapped
around the handlebars or controls. When the
watercraft is not in service, disconnect the lanyard
from the engine stop switch to prevent accidental
starting of the engine.
