3: Gasoline is explosive. If you see or smell the presence of gasoline during your inspection, DO
NOT START YOUR ENGINE! Remove your ignition key from the ignition switch and call your
MasterCraft dealer for service. (Page 16-17)
4: Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions. Always stop the
engine and never smoke or allow open flames or sparks within 50 feet of the fueling area when
refueling. (Page 7-2)
5: Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline is spilled accidentally, wipe up all traces of it with dry rags
immediately and dispose of properly on shore. (Page 7-2)
6: Failure to operate the blower as instructed could cause improper ventilation of the boat en-
gine and bilge areas. Fuel vapors can accumulate in this area and cause a fire or explosion
which may result in serious injury or death! (Page 6-3)
7: To prevent a possible explosion, operate the blower for at least four (4) minutes before starting
the engine and always when at idle or slow-running speed. Explosive gasoline and/or battery
fumes may be present in the engine compartment. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or
death! (Page 10-1)
8: Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless and poisonous gas that accumulates rapidly
and can cause serious injury or death. Exposure to carbon monoxide can be fatal in a matter of
minutes. Exposure to even low concentrations of carbon monoxide must not be ignored because
the effects of exposure to carbon monoxide are cumulative and can be just as lethal as at high
concentrations. Carbon monoxide from exhaust pipes of inboard or outboard engines may build
up inside and outside the boat in areas near exhaust vents. STAY AWAY from these exhaust vent
areas, which are located at the stern of the boat, and DO NOT swim or engage in any watersports
or other activties in or near the stern area of the boat, including, without limitation, the swim
platform and the rear sun deck, when the engine is in operation. Under no circumstances should
“teak surfing” or similar activities be performed during the operation of your MasterCraft boat–
such activities are a misuse of this product. (Page 2-1)
9: The safety switch lanyard must be attached to the operator whenever the engine is started.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death. (Page 6-3)
10: Never override or modify the engine safety shut-off switch or engine neutral starting safety
switch in any way. (Page 1-3)
11: Before starting the engine, open the engine compartment and check for gasoline fumes, fuel
and oil leaks or the presence of fuel or oil in the bilge. (Page 10-1)
12: Do not tow more than two persons at one time on a tow tower. The tow tower should be used
only for water skis, wakeboards, or recreational towables and not for parasailing, kite flying
or towing other boats. Do not add any attachments that are not installed by MasterCraft. Do not
climb on, sit on, stand on, jump off or dive off the tower. Never allow passengers to sit behind
the tow rope attachment point. Never allow loose tow rope ends to dangle. Always be certain
that all bolts are in place and tight before and during use. When the tower is up, watch for low
obstacles such as tree limbs, bridges or power lines. (Page 1-3)
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
1: DO NOT launch or operate the boat if any problem is found during the Safety Check. A problem
could lead to an accident during the outing, resulting in serious injury or death. Any and all
problems should receive attention immediately. See your MasterCraft dealer for assistance.
(Page 8-1)
2: Running the engine with the flame arrestor removed increases the possibility of fire or explo-
sion if the engine should backfire and gasoline fumes are present. If the engine is operated
without the flame arrestor secured, extreme care must be taken to ensure that the engine
compartment is well-ventilated and that no fuel leaks are present. (Page 18-1)
