• The driver, the observer, and the skier or rider need to agree upon hand signals before skiing or riding. Signals
should include READY, STOP, SPEED UP, and SLOW DOWN.
• ALWAYS check no one is in the water near the propeller before starting the engine.
• ALWAYS turn engine OFF when people are getting into or out of your watercraft, or are in the water near your watercraft.
• ALWAYS make sure the tow rope is not wrapped around anyone's hands, arms, legs, or other body part.
• ALWAYS accelerate slowly to remove slack until the tow rope is taut after restarting your watercraft.
• When the skier or rider signals READY and states, "Hit it!", confirm the path in front of your watercraft is clear
of other watercraft or obstacles. Then accelerate in a straight line. Adjust your speed according to the signals
given by the skier/rider.
Skiing or Riding: ALWAYS maintain sufficient distances from the watercraft, the skier or rider, and any potential haz-
ards, so a skier or rider falling or coasting and/or the watercraft will avoid potential hazards.
• ALWAYS wear a properly fitted USCG Type III, ISO or other agency approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD) or
Life Jacket.
• NEVER ski or ride near swimmers, shallow water, other watercraft, or obstacles.
• ONLY use on water.
• NEVER attempt land or dock starts. This will increase your risk of serious injury or death.
• The faster you ski or ride, the greater your risk of injury.
• NEVER make sharp turns while towing skiers or riders. Sharp turns may result in sudden acceleration of the
skier's or rider's speed.
• ALWAYS tow skiers and riders at appropriate speeds for their ability level.
• Towing multiple skiers or riders increases their likelihood of injury.
Fallen skier or rider: ANY FALL may result in injury.
• ALWAYS circle fallen skier or rider slowly to return the tow rope handle or pick up the fallen skier/rider.
• ALWAYS put engine in neutral when near a fallen skiers or riders.
• ALWAYS keep the fallen skiers or riders in view and on the driver's side of the watercraft.
• ALWAYS turn engine OFF when a skier or a rider is getting into or out of the watercraft or is in the water near the
watercraft.
• ALWAYS display a red or orange skier-down flag to alert other watercraft that a skier or rider is down.
Be aware that good judgment and personal awareness can help reduce the risks in boating and water sports.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• ALWAYS familiarize yourself with applicable laws, waterways, and inherent risks.
• ALWAYS have a capable observer in addition to a qualified driver, and agreed upon hand signals.
• ALWAYS wear a properly fitted USCG Type III / Level 70N, ISO/CE or other agency approved Life Jacket or
Personal Flotation Device (PFD). ALWAYS inspect equipment before use. DO NOT use if damaged.
• ALWAYS ski and ride in control, at appropriate speeds for the conditions and within your limits.
• ALWAYS turn engine OFF when anyone is near watercraft power drive unit.
• ALWAYS make sure the engine shutoff lanyard is connected to the driver.
• ALWAYS avoid breathing engine exhaust. Move to fresh air if you smell engine exhaust to prevent carbon
monoxide poisoning.
• NEVER "platform drag" or touch swim platform while the engine is running.
• NEVER ski or ride near swimmers, shallow water, other watercraft, or obstacles.
• NEVER operate watercraft, ski or ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• NEVER accelerate watercraft if tow rope is wrapped around any body parts.
STEERABLE TUBES
To turn right, simply shift your weight to the right. To turn left, simply shift your weight to the left. Most riders will be
able to carve turns after only a few minutes of practice. Try different body and handle positions to determine what
works best for your weight, physical ability, wake and water conditions.
