PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS

Watersports can be safe and fun for all levels of enthusiasts. The Operator's Manual is presented to enhance your enjoyment of the sport. It is intended to alert you to some of the potentially dangerous conditions that can arise in all watersports.

 

To reduce the risk of injury or death, follow these guidelines:

  • It is the responsibility of the watercraft owner/operator to know and inform all persons riding or using tow ropes of the information presented herein. Unsafe operation by the watercraft driver will endanger you and others.
  • Use a tow rope of at least 1500lbs tensile strength for pulling a single person. 
  • Check the rope, handles, and/or connectors for frays, cuts, sharp edges, knots, or wear before each use. Discard rope if any such condition exists or if rope appears to be worn. Such conditions may lead to breaks which can cause rope to snap back and may hit the occupants of the watercraft which could result in injury or death.
  • Never wrap rope around any part of your body prior to or during use or when retrieving rope.
  • Do not use a tow rope with elastic or bungee material to pull riders. Such an addition can break or stretch which may lead to injury of users or occupants of watercraft.
