10.3 Fatigue test
The steering components shall withstand a cyclic force resulting from 360 N tension and compression, applied
axially to the output of steering cable, with the helm locked at the mid-travel position. This force shall be applied for
50,000 reversals without causing separation.
10.4 Impact test
10.4.1 Impact test 1
See figure 2. For impact test fixture (h=210 mm). The helm shall withstand a single impact of 17 kgm on the hand
grip of a handle bar, without
— deformation that would cause loss of minimum retained system performance,
— propagation of any cracks existing before this test,
— the appearance of new cracks.
10.4.2 Impact test 2
The helm shall withstand a single impact of 28 kgm, on the hand grip of a handle bar, without complete separation
of the helm and the mechanical means to apply manual steering effort. See figure 2 for impact test fixture
(h=350 mm).
Figure 2—Steering handle bar impact test fixture
NOTE The impact test fixture to be used shall be a completely filled 250 mm diameter leather bag, containing lead,
weighing 80 kg in total, and suspended on a free swinging cable, such that the center of mass is 2 300 mm ± 100 mm from a
supporting pivot. The impact face of the bag shall be a 250 mm diameter end. The bag shall be elevated through sufficient arc
to achieve the desired value of impact upon a rigidly mounted helm and control element by swinging the bag as indicated in the
drawing.
The fixture shall be rigidly secured against movement. Other devices than that specified such as falling weight bag may be
used, providing equivalency.

11 Stability and freeboard
Personal watercraft have limited stability in static floating condition.
When a personal watercraft is floating upside-down, the operator shall be able to return the personal watercraft to
the upright, and go on board again.
The personal watercraft shall facilitate re-boarding from the water for the operator and passengers, either one by
one and/or as per manufacturers instruction.
12 Protection from falling overboard
Engine of the personal watercraft shall be equipped with a device which is capable of stopping the propulsion or
reducing engine speed when operator falls into the water.
13 Off-throttle steering
The manufacturer shall provide appropriate instructions regarding off-throttle steering characteristics.
14 Owner's manual
Instruction shall be included in the owner's manual and labels to provide: "Each passenger must always put on a
Personal Floating Device".
Instruction shall be included in the owner's manual to: "follow regulations for operator and (or) license requirements
