RAVE Sports Aqua Buddy Water Ski/Wakeboard Trainer - Manual (Page 12)

Your Equipment and Your Tow Rope:
 Inspect all equipment prior to use. Check Aqua Buddy and water
skis/wakeboard prior to each use. Do not use if damaged.
 Always wear a U.S. Coast Guard Type III (PFD) vest.
 Ropes should be attached to the watercraft in an approved
fashion with hardware designed for pulling. Refer to your
watercraft manual for instructions on proper tow rope attachment.
 Tow ropes stretch during use. If a rope breaks or is suddenly
released, it can snap back into the watercraft. Warn all riders and
occupants of the danger of the rope recoil.
 When in the boat, keep away from the tow rope to avoid injury.
Passengers can be hit or become entangled in the rope.
 Inspect tow rope and its attachments before using. Do not use
tow rope if frayed, knotted or damaged. Replace when signs of
excessive deterioration are indicated by discoloration, broken
filaments, unraveling or other obvious signs of wear on the rope
or hardware.
 Use proper tow rope for the activity.
 Ensure rope is clear of all body parts prior to starting out or during
use.
 Keep persons and ropes away from propeller when engine is
running, even in neutral. Should rope become entangled in
propeller, SHUT OFF ENGINE AND REMOVE IGNITION KEY
BEFORE RETRIEVING ROPE.
