Axis A20 Manuale utente

Congratulations on your purchase of a new high-performance recreational tow

boat! Your Axis Wake Research (“Axis”) boat by Malibu Boats LLC has been constructed

to meet and/or exceed all U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and National Marine Manufacturers

Association (NMMA) requirements applicable at the time of its manufacture. However,

it is still your responsibility as the boat owner to ensure the boat is operated in a safe

manner and is properly maintained.

Prior to operating the boat for the rst time, you must

carefully read and familiarize yourself with this Owner’s

Manual and all on-product safety labels. You must also agree to

comply with Federal, State and Local Boating Regulations.

This manual contains important information on Boating Safety, Boating Rules,

Proper Operation and Maintenance of your boat. This manual provides a guideline for

proper operation and maintenance of your boat, and you should consider it a permanent

part of your vessel. In the event that this boat is sold, this manual should be included

along with the boat to ensure that it will provide the same important information to the

next owner.

about this owner’smanual

The recommended practices and warnings in this manual represent sound advice for recreational

boating and identify common risks encountered by boaters engaging in towed watersport activities.

Read and understand the contents of this manual. Ask questions of a boating professional if anything

in this manual does not make sense to you. The manual does not cover all instances of risk or danger,

so please use common sense and good judgment when boating. If you follow the advice provided in

this manual you will signicantly reduce risk to yourself, your passengers, towed participants, and

other boaters.

This manual is not intended to be a substitute for taking a course on boating safety nor is it a

substitute for boating experience. It is recommended that if you are unfamiliar with the use and

operation of a boat you seek advice and training from a qualied individual or organization. Check with

your local marine law enforcement agency or dealer for more information about boating safety classes

in your area.

The precautions listed in this manual and on the boat are not all-inclusive. If a procedure or method is

not specically recommended, YOU must be satised that it is safe for you and your passengers, and that

the boat will not be damaged or made unsafe as a result of your decision. Remember - always use caution

and common sense when operating and maintaining your boat!

about your new boat

Axis is proud to provide you with the most exciting, cutting-edge technology available in the towing-boat industry. The boat you have purchased

represents the state of the art at the time of manufacture. As you may expect from the industry’s leader since 1982, Axis expands and innovates

continually. As a result, updated product or specications may be introduced during any given model year. Malibu reserves the right to introduce new

product or changes to existing model lines without notication or incurring responsibility to make the same changes to boats in the market completed

prior to the date of change.

This Owner’s Manual has been compiled to address as many potential issues and questions as may arise in addition to explaining how to operate

the boat and its systems correctly and safely as possible to ensure long-term and enjoyable use. However, Axis cannot anticipate every potential

situation that can arise, aecting the care and protection of your boat, nor every circumstance that could arise in the operation or care of the boat

when not in use. Axis strongly recommends reading any and all additional information provided by component manufacturers’ and supplied with the

boat at time of purchase. Also check out websites for Axis and its component manufacturers periodically to stay abreast of any changes, updates,

service bulletins and general information. Axis will use these various methods of communication, from this Owner’s Manual and including, but not

limited to, direct mail contact and website updates, to make every reasonable eort to apprise you of the information you will need to continue long-

term and highly satisfactory use of your boat.
