Owner`s manual

• Prior to starting the engine, you must open the engine box and check the engine compartment and bilge for
gasoline and oil vapors. You must also operate the blower for at least four (4) minutes. Failure to do so may
result in fire and/or an explosion.
Failure to comply with the requirement of operating the blower for at least four (4) minutes before
starting the engine may result in serious injury or death to you and/or others.
• Never remove or modify any components of the fuel system. Removal or modification of any
component of the fuel system may cause a hazardous situation and will void the warranty.
e modern MasterCraft fuel delivery lines are pressurized and attempting to loosen or re-
move them may result in the uncontrolled release of fuel, which can be environmentally haz-
ardous, and may potentially cause injury.
• Never allow any type of spark or open flame on board. It may result in fire or explosion.
Skiing and Wakeboarding Safety
Skiers and wakeboarders are obligated to be as aware of the fundamental safety rules as operators. If you are
new to water sports, you should seek certified training before starting. You may find it especially helpful to join
a local water-sports club, if available, and the U.S.W.S.A. (United States Water Skiing Association).
• Always remember that the majority of water-skiing and wakeboarding injuries are the result of impacts
with other objects, so always look where you are going and be aware of what is going on around you.
• Never put your arm, head or any other part of your body through the handle/bridle of the ski or wake-
boarding line, nor wrap the line around any part of the body at any time.
• Never ski or wakeboard at night.
• Never ski or wakeboard directly in front of other boats.
• When adding accessories to the tower, ensure that the total aggregate weight of the accessories
does not exceed 85 lbs. (U.S.). Exceeding the limit may result in structural failure of the tower.
MasterCraft strongly encourages the use of MasterCraft towers and accessories only as they
have been tested and determined to meet product requirements, including weight.
Towers should never have a total aggregate weight of accessories exceeding 85 lbs. (U.S.) total.
Excessive weight can cause tower failure and the collapse of a tower or the disconnection of the
tower from the deck, which could result in serious bodily injury or damage to the boat that is not
covered by warranty.
• Never attempt to fold a tower without assistance. Folding a tower requires at least two (2) people.
• Never jump from a boat that is moving at any speed, nor enter or exit the water when the engine is run-
ning (ON). (See the Common Sense Approach section of this Owner’s Manual for additional information
regarding carbon monoxide peril.)
• Never climb, sit or stand on a tower. e tower is intended for towing only as noted.
• Make sure that everyone knows and uses approved skiing/wakeboarding hand signals and adheres to
common skiing, wakeboarding and boating courtesy.
• Never ride on the ski platform or hold on to the ski platform while in the water during engine operation,
including at idle. Carbon monoxide fumes are expelled from the lower transom areas of your boat and can
cause death or serious illness.
• e above mandates are not all-inclusive. It is the boater’s responsibility to operate the boat in a safe
fashion and become familiar with any and all rules and regulations governing boat operation.
Do not tow more than two (2) persons at one time on a tow tower. The tow tower approved for use
on your boat 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 approved
for use on your MasterCraft boat. Do not climb on, sit on, stand on, jump off of or dive off of 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.
Warning Plates and Labels
Read and note ALL warning plates and labels from bow to stern, including those that are installed inside the engine compartment, lockers
and under seating. YOU MUST READ AND ADHERE TO ALL CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS IN AND ON YOUR BOAT!
