Use caution and common sense. Check bindings, fins, tube and attachment point, and flotation device prior to each use. Do not use if damaged. Rope should be attached to the watercraft in an approved fashion with hardware designed for pulling. Refer to your watercraft manual for instructions on proper tow rope attachment.
Tow ropes stretch during use.
If a rope breaks or is suddenly released, it can snap back into the watercraft. Warn all riders, skiers and occupants or the danger of the rope recoil. Inspect tow rope and its attachments before using. Do not use tow rope if frayed, knotted or damaged. Replace when signs of excessive deterioration are indicated by discoloration, broken filaments, unraveling or other obvious signs of wear on the rope or hardware.
