ty-minded, watercraft websites and authorities which apply to the relevant area/region under which
the JetSurf™ power board is to be operated.

DEFINITION

"Power board" or "motorized surfboard," interchangeable terms in this Owner's Manual, mean a ves-
sel that uses an inboard gasoline-and-oil-powered engine, providing power to a water-jet pump as its
primary source of propulsion power. It is designed to be operated by a person ("rider" or "operator")
sitting, standing or kneeling on the vessel. Direction of JetSurf™ is controlled by rider leaning to one
side or another, speed is controlled by throttle trigger located on the handle.

GENERAL COMMON SENSE

It is the responsibility of the owner and/or operator to comply with safety-related material
provided in this Owner's Manual and to regularly review safety information provided by go-
vernmental agencies and local jurisdictions. Common sense should guide owners/operators
at all times, regardless of whether the engine is running or not. Failure to do so will result in
serious injury or death.
Riders are reminded that general common sense should be the rule for any and all outings. While
some objects appear above water and are easily avoidable, it may be necessary to pay special atten-
tion to underwater objects as well.
In using the power board, some common sense considerations are for safety of the rider and other
vessel riders, boaters and passengers, while common sense also is necessary to preserve the power
board in good shape.
JetSurf™ cannot anticipate every type of activity or negligent performance that could result in death/
injury or damage. The operator accepts responsibility for use of the power board in a safe and
sensible manner. Particular attention must be paid to surroundings at all times to avoid accidents.
Care must also be taken to avoid situations in which carbon monoxide fumes may become trapped
between objects or may be released out-of-the-water. Be certain to read the information regarding
carbon monoxide poisoning contained in this section of the Owner's Manual.
With regard to damage to the power board, riders should avoid running it all the way to shore. Often,
beaches or shoreline are made up of rocks and/or sand that can scratch or dent the power board.
Such occurrences are not covered under the JetSurf™ Limited Warranty statement, which appears
later in this Owner's Manual.
Familiarity with the nautical waters in which the power board will be operated is extremely important.
Currents, especially strong ones, can affect the performance of the power board and threaten the
safety of the operator. Pay attention to buoys and other markers also.
It is critical for all owners and operators to be prepared to maintain and operate the power board in
a responsible and common sense manner at all times.
All riders must use helmet, life vest and a safety leash at all times while operating JetSurf™ to prevent
any serious injury or death in the events of accident (you can find more details in CLOTHING category).
