Age Restrictions

This vehicle is an ADULT VEHICLE ONLY. Operation is prohibited

Know Your Vehicle

As the operator of the vehicle, you are responsible for your personal

safety, the safety of others, and the protection of our environment.

Read and understand your owner’s manual, which discusses all aspects

of your vehicle, including safe operating procedures. Familiarize

yourself with all boating laws and regulations concerning the operation

of the vehicle in your area.

Safety Training

When you purchased your new Polaris watercraft, your dealer provided

a watercraft safety video and the Polaris 2003 Universal Watercraft

Owner’s Manual for Safety and Maintenance. Please review this

information on a regular basis. All operators and passengers should

read and understand the owner’s manual before riding.

Store the manual in a waterproof bag in one of the storage areas on the

watercraft. If the vehicle is sold, the owner’s manual and video tape

should remain with it. If your owner’s manual is lost or missing, see a

Polaris dealer for a replacement.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings contained in this manual can result

in severe injury or death. A Polaris watercraft is not a toy. It’s a

high performance powerboat and can be hazardous to operate. A

collision or overturn can occur quickly if you fail to take proper

precautions. Read and understand your owner’s manual and all

warnings before operating a Polaris watercraft.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS

Your watercraft’s hull and engine identification numbers are important

for model identification when registering your watercraft, when

obtaining insurance, and when ordering replacement parts. The hull ID

is located on the rear boarding platform (1). The engine ID number is

located at the front of the engine near the stator cover (2).

Record your vehicle’s ID numbers in the spaces provided and in

another location away from the vehicle. If the vehicle is destroyed or

stolen, you’ll have the ID numbers required by insurance and/or law

enforcement.

NOTE: Check with your insurance agent about obtaining insurance

coverage for your watercraft, or see your Polaris dealer.
