INTRODUCTION Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a Sea-Doo personal watercraft. You have selected one of the most popular watercraft on water. Your Sea-Doo ® personal watercraft (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 free- dom however comes the responsibility of safety for yourself, 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 other water users. Some of the information contained in this safety section may be new to you while other information may be com- mon sense or obvious. Irrespective, we want you to have a safe, pleasur- able riding experience, so please take a few minutes of your time to com- pletely read this short safety section. Although the mere reading of such information does not eliminate the hazard, the understanding and application of the information will promote the correct use of the watercraft. Failure to follow the instructions of this safety section may result in severe injury or death. This safety section is for initial refer- ence and its content is therefore limited. section It should be read in con- junction with the rest of this Opera- tor’s Guide, the safety videocassette and the on-product warning/caution labels. It is also strongly recommended that operators obtain further information concerning “Boating Rules” from a local Coast Guard Auxiliary, Power- boat Squadron or other local boating authorities. Many states or provinces have re- quirements regarding boating safety and competence certificates. BRP strongly recommends that any watercraft operator completes a safety and competence boating course. Check with your local Coast Guard or Power Sail Squadron in your area for course availability. Some boating safety information can be obtained from the Boating Safe- ty/Regulation Web sites listed at the end of this safety section. Regulations concerning boating are modified from time to time. It is ad- visable to periodically check the local regulations wherever you plan to operate your watercraft. We encourage you to have an Annu- al Safety Inspection of your personal watercraft. Please contact your dealer for further details. Finally, we urge you to visit your dealer regularly for regular and safety maintenance and for any accessories you may require. Have fun and...Bon Voyage. 8 ____________ SAFETY INFORMATION ___________
