Please take a moment to inspect the inside and outside of the cover, to make sure it is applied correctly. “Front“ label is sewn to the inside of the cover. Make sure “Front” label on the cover is applied to the front of the Jet Ski.

Your cover includes three straps that secure your cover to your P.W.C. (These must be used if you are transporting your P.W.C. on a trailer).

Repeat with the other two straps.

After attaching ALL three straps adjust and tighten all the straps so that your cover is snug and even across your P.W.C. For additional security tuck the extra strap under the cover.
