Product Safety Information

Safety Information on Labels : Your pedal boat comes with the following labels containing important safety information. These labels should be considered a permanent part of your pedal boat. If the labels come off or become hard to read,

please contact Future Beach

Leisure Products for replacements.

Warning Label

US Coast Guard capacity label

Every passenger must always wear a Coast Guard approved personal ﬂoatation device (PFD) when using this boat:

Before going boating, read the PFD manufacturer’s information pamphlet regarding the PFD and thoroughly familiarize yourself with how the PFD is to be worn.

Weather and water conditions: Check the

weather and water conditions before you go boating. Never go boating in severe winds, rain, thun-

derstorms, rough water, strong currents, ﬂoodwaters,

or where the tides will seriously affect your ability to steer the boat or return to shore.

Never use or consume alcohol, drugs or any other substance that may affect your coordination, judgment or ability to safely operate any boat including this boat.

Sound device:

The Coast Guard requires boaters

to have a means of signaling other boaters of their

presence. You should always keep a sound device such as a whistle in the boat with you at all times. If possible, attach the sound device to your Personal Flotation Device.

Never stand up in the boat: Standing in the

boat may cause it to capsize. If the boat should capsize, please note that in most cases it is far more dangerous to attempt to swim to shore than to stay with the boat.

Never exceed your ability: Assess your phy-

sical capability as to how far and how long you can pedal and swim.

Slippery when wet: The surface of your boat is

slippery when wet. Always wear slip resistant shoes.

Read the following information before using your pedal boat. Failure to follow the safety precautions below may lead to serious injury or death.

are very dangerous. Hypothermia (the loss of body heat due to immersion in cold water) can be deadly. Survival time can be as short as 15 minutes in 35˚F (2˚C) water. Dress appropriately for weather condi- tions, wearing a wet or dry suit if necessary.

Never use this boat alone: You are advised

to always have someone with you in case of emer- gency or accident. Also, always tell someone your boating plans, including where you are going, how long you will be gone and how many people you’ll be with.

Never allow minors to use this boat wi- thout adult supervision: Never allow any

minor to use this boat unless accompanied by an adult.

Always familiarize yourself with the body of water where you will be boa- ting: Learn what hours boating are permitted,

whether there are any known hazardous conditions, and where you can get help quickly in case of emer- gency or accident.

Always abide by Coast Guard regula- tions and State and local laws, regula- tions, ordinances, and rules concerning boating and boating safety: Check with the

Coast Guard and local authorities concerning pro- per boat handling and the proper equipment to be carried on board, such as lights and soundprodu-

cing devices.
