Doin’it on your new Sea-Doo Sport Boat
Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a Sea-Doo sport boat. Whether
you are an experienced boater or are new to the sport of boating, we ask you to
take the time to view the Safety Videocassette provided with the craft, to read
the Operator’s Guide and on-product warning/caution labels and familiarize yourself with the contents. The guide contains pertinent information which, if followed, will provide you with the necessary knowledge to help you fully enjoy the
pleasures of this boat.
We strongly recommend that any boat operator complete a safe boating course.
Check with your local Coast Guard or Power and Sail Squadron in your area for
course availability. More serious boaters may want to obtain “Chapman Piloting”
by Elbert S. Maloney, available at most book stores.
When introducing your family or friends to the sport, be sure they fully understand
the controls and operation of the sport boat and the importance of courteous,
responsible riding.
Each sport boat operator has a responsibility to ensure the safety of his/her passenger(s) and of other water users. Please follow all safety instructions and operate your craft with care.
We encourage you to have an Annual Safety Inspection of your sport boat. Please
contact your dealer for further details.
Finally, we invite you to visit your dealer for regular safety maintenance as well
as any boating accessories you may require.
Have fun and... Bon Voyage.
Please keep this guide on board. This manual should remain with the sport
boat at time of resale.

FOREWORD
This Operator’s Guide has been prepared to acquaint the owner/operator
or passenger of this sport boat with
the various sport boat controls, maintenance and safe riding instructions. It
is indispensable for the proper use of
the product, and should be kept in a
waterproof bag in the sport boat at all
times. Make sure you read and understand the content of this document.
For any questions pertaining to the
warranty and its application, please
consult an authorized Sea-Doo sport
boat dealer.
Hazard Statements
As you read your Owners Manual and
this supplement, please note the hazard warnings which alert you to safety
precautions related to unsafe conditions or operating procedures.
This guide uses the following symbols
to emphasize particular information.
The safety alert symbol is recognized
around the world. In this manual, it
means read this information carefully!
Be sure you understand the consequences of a hazard and how to avoid
them. Failure to follow the recommendations in a hazard communication
statement may result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
People often refer to a hazard statement as a warning in a general sense.
This manual uses three kinds of
“warnings” depending on the likely effect of a hazard (minor injury, severe
injury, death).
WARNING
Identifies a potentially or imminently hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, COULD result in serious personal injuries including
the possibility of death or substantial property damage.
CAUTION: This signal word indicates
a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate personal injury or
property damage. It may also be used
to alert against unsafe practices.
NOTE: Indicates supplementary infor-
mation needed to fully complete an instruction relating to equipment operation and/or maintenance procedures.
Although the mere reading of such information does not eliminate the hazard, the understanding and application
of the information will promote correct
and safe use of the sport boat.
The warnings in this supplement do
not and cannot address every conceivable situation. Always use common
sense! If a procedure, method, tool, or
part is not specifically recommended,
you must satisfy yourself that it is safe
for you and others and that your boat
will not be damaged or made unsafe
as a result of your decision.

SAFETY
Your safety and that of your passengers
and fellow boaters is YOUR responsibility. Before launching your boat, you
should completely read and understand
this Operator’s Guide, product warnings
and labels, the Safety Videocassette
and other information provided with
your craft or by your dealer. Heed and
follow all warnings, safety precautions
and operating procedures.
Bombardier strongly recommends that
you take an approved boating safety
course. Always operate your boat in
compliance with safe boating rules, and
with consideration, courtesy and common sense. Failure to do so could result
in injury, including the possibility of
death, to you, your passengers, others
you lend your boat to, or other water users.
Safe Boating Checklist
When leaving on a cruise, whether for
an hour or for several days, go through
the following Safe Boating Checklist.
Reminders Regarding
Operation...
– The performance of this sport boat
may significantly exceed that of other
craft you may have operated. Become completely familiar with the
controls and operation of this sport
boat before embarking on your first
trip or taking on a passenger(s). If you
have not had the opportunity to do so,
practice driving solo in a suitable traffic-free area and feel the response of
each control. Be fully familiar with all
controls before accelerating above
idle speed. Do not assume that all
sport boats handle identically. Each
model differs, often substantially.
– Always keep in mind that as the
throttle lever is returned to the idle
position, less directional control is
available. To turn the craft, both
steering and throttle are necessary.
– Like any other boat, this craft has no
brake. Stopping distance will vary depending on initial speed, load, wind,
and water conditions. Practice stopping and docking in a safe, traffic-free
area to have an idea of how long it
will take to stop the craft under varying conditions. Do not release the
throttle when trying to steer away
from objects. You need throttle to
steer. Do not use the craft's reverse,
if so equipped, to stop.
– Do not start or operate the sport boat
if any person is not properly seated in
a seat intended for use when underway (not the sun deck or swim platform) or if a person is nearby in the
water.
– The sport boat's jet thrust can cause
injury. Always accelerate slowly, and
decelerate in a controlled fashion.
– Observe the instructions on all safe-
ty labels. They are there to help assure that you have a safe and enjoyable outing.
– Riding with passenger(s) or pulling
other boats, tubes, a skier or a wake
boarder makes the craft handle differently and requires greater skill.
– Certain sport boats may come
equipped with tow eyelets, a ski pole
or a wake tower which can be used
to attach a tow rope for a skier, tuber
or wake boarder. Do not use these
attachment points or any other portion of the sport boat to tow a parasail
or another craft. Personal injury or severe craft damage may occur.
– In shallow water, proceed with cau-
tion and at very low speeds. Grounding or abrupt stops may result in injury. The jet pump may pick up
debris and throw it rearward causing
a risk of injuring people or damaging
the jet pump or other property.
10 SAFETY INFORMATION
Page 12
– Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide (CO), which can cause injury or death if inhaled in sufficient
quantities. Do not operate the craft
in a confined area or allow CO to accumulate in or around the craft, or
in enclosed or sheltered areas.
– Combustion engines need air to op-
erate; consequently this craft can
not be totally watertight. Any maneuvers such as figure eights that
cause the upper deck to be under
water may cause severe engine
problems due to water ingestion.
Refer to the SPECIAL PROCEDURES and LIMITED WARRANTY
sections contained in this Opera-
tor’s Guide.
– Respect no wake zones, the rights
of other water users and the environment. As the “skipper” and
owner of a boat, you are responsible for damage to other boats
caused by the wake of your craft.
Do not let anyone throw refuse
overboard.
– Between sunset and sunrise, use
the sport boat's navigation lights
and reduce speed. Do not operate
the boat in reduced visibility.
– Do not add accessories or equipment
that may adversely affect visibility or
alter control of the sport boat.
– The skipper should personally take
the helm during storms.
Before Getting Underway...
– Always perform the pre-operation
checks as specified in this Opera-
tor’s Guide.
– Do not exceed the payload or pas-
senger capacities for this sport
boat, which are listed on the capacity plate and in the specifications.
Overloading can affect maneuverability, stability and performance.
Also, heavy seas reduce capacity. A
payload or person capacity plate is
not an excuse for failure to use common sense or good judgment.
– Regularly inspect the boat, the hull,
engine, safety equipment, and all
other boating gear and keep them in
safe operating condition.
– Be sure you have the minimum re-
quired safety equipment, PFDs and
any additional gear needed for your
cruise.
– Check that all lifesaving equipment,
including fire extinguisher, is in safe
operating condition and easily accessible. Show all passengers where
this equipment is, and make sure
they know how to use it.
– Keep an eye on the weather. Check
local weather broadcasts before departure. Be alert to changing conditions.
– Keep accurate and up-to-date charts
of the boating area on board. Before
getting underway, check water conditions in the planned boating area.
– Before departure, file a Float Plan
with a responsible person ashore.
– Keep enough fuel on board for the
planned trip. Always verify fuel level
before use and during the ride. Apply the principle of 1/3 of the fuel to
reach your destination, 1/3 to return, and keep 1/3 in reserve. Allow
for changes due to adverse weather
or other delays.
SAFETY INFORMATION 11
Page 13
Operators and Passengers...
– Never operate a boat while under
the influence of drugs or alcohol. It
is a Federal offense. Allow only qualified drivers to operate your boat.
Remember that sun, wind, alcohol,
drugs, fatigue or illness may impair
your judgement and reaction time.
– At least one passenger should be
able to operate the boat in case the
operator is unexpectedly unable to
do so.
– Operation of this craft by a person
under 16 years of age or a person
with a disability that impairs vision,
reaction time, judgment, or operation of the controls is NOT recommended.
– Always use the lanyard stop switch
when operating the boat and ensure that all passengers are familiar
with its use.
– Ensure that any operator and all pas-
sengers know how to swim and
how to re-board the sport boat from
the water. If a passenger does not
know how to swim, ensure that
passenger wears a PFD at all times
and take extra precautions when
boating.
Regarding Fuel and Fueling...
– Remember that fuel and gasoline
fumes are flammable and explosive
under certain conditions. Be very
careful when fueling and adhere to
the fueling procedures contained in
this Operator’s Guide and those given to you by the marina. Always
stop the engine before fueling and
never allow anyone to remain in the
craft while fueling. Each time you fill
up, assure that the engine compartment is free of gasoline vapors, and
inspect fuel lines for leaks and hose
deterioration.
– Do not smoke or allow open flames
or sparks in the vicinity.
– Know the capacity of the fuel tank.
Avoid fueling at night except under
well-lit conditions. Gas spills are not
noticeable in the dark. Do not carry
spare fuel or flammable liquids in
any of the storage or engine compartments.
Safety Equipment
An operator and the craft's passenger(s) should have ready access to
shatterproof glasses should riding conditions or personal preference warrant.
Wind, water spray and speed may
cause a person's eyes to water and
create blurred vision.
As the owner of the boat, you are responsible for assuring that all required
safety equipment is aboard. You should
also consider supplying additional
equipment as needed for your safety
and that of your passengers. Check
state and local regulations and call the
U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Hotline at 1 800 368-5647 for information
about required safety equipment.
Required Safety Equipment
Most of the safety equipment required
by federal regulations is provided as
standard equipment. Personal flotation devices must be fitted to the people wearing them. If local regulations
require additional equipment, it must
be approved by the U.S. Coast Guard
(USCG). Minimum requirements include the following:
– personal flotation devices
– fire extinguisher
– visual distress signal
– navigation lights
– bell or whistle.
A cellular telephone in a waterproof
bag or container has also been found
to be beneficial to boaters when in distress or just for contacting someone
on shore.
12 SAFETY INFORMATION
Page 14
Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs)
Federal regulations require that you
have at least one Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (PFD)
for each person in a recreational boat
and require that all children under 13
years of age wear a PFD at all times
when the boat is underway, except
when below deck or in an enclosed
cabin. You may not use your boat unless all PFDs are in serviceable condition, readily accessible, legibly marked
with the Coast Guard approval number, and of an appropriate size (within
the weight range and chest size
marked on the PFD) for each person
on board.
A PFD provides buoyancy to help keep
your head above the water and to help
you remain in a satisfactory position
while in the water. Body weight and
age should be considered when selecting a PFD. The buoyancy provided
by the PFD should support your
weight in water. The size of the PFD
should be appropriate for the wearer.
Body weight and chest size are common methods used to size PFDs. It is
your responsibility to ensure that you
have the proper number and types of
PFDs on board to comply with federal
and local regulations and that your passengers know where they are and
how to use them.
PFD Type I, Wearable has the greatest
required buoyancy. Its design allows
for turning most unconscious persons
in the water from face down position
to a vertical or slightly backward, faceup position. It can greatly increase the
chances of survival. Type I is most effective for all waters, especially offshore when rescue may be delayed. It
is also the most effective in rough waters.
F00A2CY
TYPE I — WEARABLE
PFD Type II, Wearable turns its wearer
in the same way as Type I, but not as
effectively. The Type Il does not turn as
many persons under the same conditions as a Type I. You may prefer to use
this PFD where there is a probability of
quick rescue such as in areas where
other people are commonly involved in
water activities.
PFD Types
Five types of PFDs have been approved by the U.S. Coast Guard.
SAFETY INFORMATION 13
F00A2DY
TYPE II — WEARABLE
Page 15
PFD Type III, Wearable allows wearers
to place themselves in a vertical or
slightly backward position. It does not
turn the wearer. It maintains the wearer in a vertical or slightly backward position and has no tendency to turn the
wearer face down. It has the same
buoyancy as a Type Il PFD and may be
appropriate in areas where other people are commonly involved in water activities.
F00A2EY
TYPE III — WEARABLE
PFD Type IV, Throwable is required in
addition to the PFDs previously discussed. The most common Type IV
PFD is a buoyant cushion or ring buoy.
It is designed to be thrown to a person
in the water, grasped and held by the
user until he or she is rescued. A Type
IV PFD should always be in serviceable
condition and immediately available
for use. Grasping this PFD may be difficult if the rescue is delayed or if the
user is overcome by hypothermia (loss
of body heat).
F00A2FY
TYPE IV — THROWABLE
PFD Type V, Wearable must be worn.
When inflated, it provides buoyancy
equivalent to Type I, Il or III PFDs.
When it is deflated, however, it may
not support some people.
F00A2GY
TYPE V — WEARABLE
PFD Pointers
The purpose of a PFD is to help save
your life. If you want it to support you
when you are in the water, it needs to
fit, float, and be in good condition.
– Try the PFD on and adjust it until it
fits comfortably in and out of the
water. Mark your PFD if you are the
only wearer.
– To make sure the PFD works, wear
it in the water. This will show you
how it works and give you confidence when you use it.
– Teach children how to put a PFD on
and allow them to try it in the water.
That way, they know what the PFD
is for and how it works. They will
feel more comfortable with it if they
suddenly find themselves in the water.
– If the PFD is wet, allow it to dry thor-
oughly before storing it. Do not dry
it in front of a radiator or heater.
Store it in a well-ventilated area.
– Keep PFDs away from sharp ob-
jects which can tear the fabric or
puncture the flotation pads.
14 SAFETY INFORMATION
Page 16
– For their own safety and the safety
of others, all non-swimmers, poor
swimmers, and small children
should wear PFD’s at all times
whether the boat is stationary or
moving.
– Check the PFD frequently to make
sure that it is not torn, that flotation
pads have no leaks, and that all
seams and joints are securely
sewn.
– If a PFD contains kapok, the kapok
fibers may become waterlogged
and lose their buoyancy after the vinyl inserts are punctured. If the
kapok becomes hard or if it is
soaked with water, replace it. It may
not work when you need it.
Hypothermia
Hypothermia, the loss of body heat to
the water, is a significant cause of
deaths in boating accidents. After an
individual has succumbed to hypothermia, he or she will lose consciousness
and then drown.
PFDs can increase survival time because of the insulation they provide.
Naturally, the warmer the water, the
less insulation one will require. When
operating in cold water (below 40°F)
consideration should be given to using
a coat or jacket style PFD as they cover
more of the body than the vest style
PFDs.
Some points to remember about hypothermia protection:
1. While afloat in the water, do not attempt to swim unless it is to reach
a nearby craft, fellow survivor, or a
floating object on which you can
lean or climb. Unnecessary swimming increases the rate of body heat
loss. In cold water, drown-proof
methods that require putting your
head in the water are not recommended. Keep your head out of the
water. This will greatly lessen heat
loss and increase your survival time.
2. Keep a positive attitude about your
survival and rescue. This will improve your chances of extending
your survival time until rescue. Your
will-to-live does make a difference!
3. If there is more than one person in
the water, huddling is recommended while waiting to be rescued. This
action tends to reduce the rate of
heat loss and thus increase the survival time.
4.Always wear your PFD. It won't
help you fight off the effects of hypothermia if you don't have it on
when you go into the water.
Fire Extinguishers
As the owner of the boat, you are responsible for supplying a fire extinguisher approved by the U.S. Coast
Guard.
All Class 1 powerboats (16 to less than
26 feet) are required to carry one (1) B1 type hand portable fire extinguisher
unless the boat is equipped with a
fixed fire extinguishing system in the
engine compartment.
Hand-held portable fire extinguishers
should be mounted in readily accessible locations away from the engine
compartment. All persons aboard
should know the location and proper
operation of the fire extinguisher(s).
NOTE: Don't test fire extinguishers by
squirting small amounts of the extinguishing compound. The extinguisher
might not work when you really need it!
SAFETY INFORMATION 15
Page 17
Visual Distress Signal Devices
Visual distress signal devices approved by the U.S. Coast Guard are required on all recreational boats operating on coastal waters and on boats
owned in the United States when they
are operating on the high seas. Coastal
waters include territorial seas and
those waters directly connected to the
Great Lakes and the territorial seas up
to a point where the waters are less
than two miles (3.2 km) wide. Visual
distress signal equipment may be of
the pyrotechnic or non-pyrotechnic
type. Regulations prohibit display of visual distress signals on the water under any circumstances except when
assistance is required to prevent immediate or potential danger to persons
on board a vessel.
The equipment must be approved by
the U.S. Coast Guard, be in serviceable
condition, and be stowed in a readily
accessible location. Equipment having
a date for serviceable life must be within the specified usage date shown.
Careful selection and proper stowage
of visual distress equipment is very important if children are aboard.
WARNING
Fire! In case of fire, do not open
engine compartment. Turn off engine. Using portable C02 fire extinguisher, continuously discharge
entire contents at base of fire.
DAY USE ONLY
• Three orange smoke signals
(one hand held and two floating)
or one orange flag with black square
and disk
NIGHT USE ONLY
• One S-O-S electric distress light
DAY AND NIGHT USE
• Three flares of the hand held,
meteor or parachute type
Sound Signaling Devices
NOTE: No single signaling device is
appropriate for all purposes. Consider
keeping various types of equipment on
board.
Boats less than 26 feet (7.9 m) in
length are required to carry a hand,
mouth, or power operated horn or
whistle. It must produce a blast of two
second duration and audible at a distance of at least one-half (1/2) mile.
Following are standard whistle signals:
– one prolonged blast
(warning signal)
– one short blast
(pass on my port side)
– two short blasts
(pass on my starboard side)
– three short blasts
(engines in reverse)
– five or more blasts
(danger signal).
Navigation Lights
Navigation lights are intended to keep
other vessels informed of your presence and course. If you are out on the
water between sunset and sunrise,
you are required to display appropriate
navigation lights.

Carbon Monoxide and
Boating
Burning a material containing carbon
produces carbon monoxide (CO), an
odorless and colorless gas. Because
CO weighs the same as air, it can
spread throughout an enclosed space
unnoticed because you cannot see it
or smell it. Any device used to burn
carbon-based materials on a boat can
be a source of CO. Common sources
of CO include internal combustion engines.
CO reacts with the blood to reduce the
ability of the blood to carry oxygen.
The reduced oxygen supply to body
tissues results in death of the tissue.
Prolonged exposure can cause brain
damage or death. In high concentrations, CO can be fatal within minutes.
The effects of CO in lower concentrations are cumulative and can be just as
lethal over long periods of time.
Symptoms of CO poisoning include:
Itchy and watering eyes, flushed appearance, throbbing temples, inability
to think coherently, ringing in the ears,
tightness across the chest, headaches, drowsiness, nausea, dizziness,
fatigue, vomiting, collapse, and convulsions. If any of these symptoms are
evident, begin treatment immediately.
Prompt action can make the difference
between life and death.
– Evacuate the area and move the vic-
tim to fresh air.
– Administer oxygen if available and
get medical help.
– Open all canvas enclosures to ven-
tilate the area.
– Investigate the source of CO and
take immediate corrective action.
– Be especially aware of other CO
sources which may be near boat.
SAFETY INFORMATION 17
Page 19
Carbon Monoxide Accumulation
Following are examples of possible situations where CO may accumulate within
your boat while docked, anchored, or underway. Become familiar with these examples and their precautions to prevent personal injury or death.
WARNING
Exhaust Fumes! Generator or hull exhaust from other vessels while either
docked or anchored can emit poisonous CO gas and cause excessive accumulation within cabin and cockpit areas. Be alert for generator exhaust
from your vessel or other vessels alongside.
F00A2HL
VESSEL ALONGSIDE
WARNING
Carbon Monoxide! CO can be harmful or fatal if inhaled. Keep exhaust
outlets clear of blockage. Provide adequate ventilation. Open canvas enclosures to ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid operating the boat for extended periods of time at idle speed, and be sensitive to weather conditions
that may prevent CO from dissipating into the air when the canvas is deployed.
F00A2IL
WHILE UNDERWAY (BACKDRAFTING)
18 SAFETY INFORMATION
Page 20
While underway, CO concentrations can increase by backdrafting or “the station
wagon effect”. Backdrafting is caused by factors such as relative wind direction,
speed, or the bow being too high. To prevent this, open canvas whenever possible
to provide positive airflow through the hull.
Boat houses, seawalls, and other boats in close proximity or confined areas can
contribute to increased CO levels. Operators must be aware that operation, mooring, and anchoring in an area with other boats puts them in jeopardy of CO accumulation from other sources. Likewise, a boat operator must be aware of how
exhaust from his boat will affect others. Operation of the engines while moored
may cause CO accumulation in your boat and those around you.
F00A2JL
CONFINED AREAS
Be sure to provide adequate ventilation. If the windshield has vents, open them
before getting underway to increase positive air flow and decrease the chances
of CO accumulation.
WARNING
Backdrafting! Under certain conditions, moving air currents can direct poisonous CO fumes into boat. These fumes can accumulate to dangerous
levels without proper airflow. Provide adequate ventilation, redistribute
the load or bring boat out of high bow angle.
WARNING
Exhaust Fumes! Hull exhaust from your boat can cause excessive accumulation of poisonous CO gas within cockpit area when using protective
weather coverings while underway or while stationary. Provide adequate
ventilation when the canvas top, side curtains, and/or back curtains are in
their closed protective positions.
SAFETY INFORMATION 19
Page 21
WARNING
Exhaust Fumes! Hull exhaust outlets near a pier, dock, seawall, or
outlets blocked by any other
means can cause excessive accumulation of poisonous CO gas
within cockpit area.
WARNING
Exhaust Fumes! Engine exhaust
from your boat when operating at
slow speed or stopped in the water can cause excessive accumulation of poisonous CO within cockpit area. Tail winds can increase
accumulation. Provide adequate
ventilation or slightly increase
speed if possible. Installing rear
canvas while underway increases
the chance of CO accumulation in
your boat.
Even with the best boat design and
construction, CO may still accumulate
in enclosed or confined areas under
certain conditions. Continually observe passengers for symptoms of CO
poisoning.
Lanyard Stop Switch
This safety device automatically stops
the engine if the lanyard is attached to
the operator and the operator falls
from the control station. Refer to the
engine manual for detailed information
about using this switch.
The stop switch incorporates a shutoff
switch, switch clip, lanyard, and lanyard clip. The lanyard clip must be securely attached to the operator’s PFD,
clothing, arm, or leg. Be sure to attach
the lanyard to a place where it is free
of obstructions and to something that
will move with the operator if he or she
leaves the helm station. If the engine
shuts down because this switch was
activated, the clip must be reinstalled
on the interrupter switch before the
engine can be restarted.
CO Detector
It is strongly recommended that you
have CO detectors installed in boats
with canvas enclosures. Monitors are
available from your dealer. Monitors
should be professionally installed and
calibrated.
NOTE: A CO detector is not a gas fuel
vapor detector. Gas fuel vapor detectors do not monitor the buildup of CO
in an enclosed area.
20 SAFETY INFORMATION
F00A2KY
TYPICAL — IGNITION INTERRUPTER
(STOP SWITCH) WITH LANYARD
Keep lanyard stop switch free
from obstructions that could interfere with its operation. Do not
modify or remove lanyard stop
switch or bypass its safety features. The proper use of the lanyard stop switch can prevent a
runaway boat situation which otherwise could cause severe personal injury or death.
WARNING
Page 22
Safe Boating Practices
YOU are responsible for your own
safety, the safety of your passengers,
and the safety of fellow boaters.
Drugs and Alcohol
Do not use drugs or drink alcohol while
operating a boat. Like driving a car,
driving a boat requires sober, attentive
care. Operating a boat while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs is
not only dangerous, but it is also a Federal offense carrying a significant penalty. These laws are vigorously enforced. The use of drugs and alcohol,
singly or in combination, decreases reaction time, impedes judgment, impairs vision, and inhibits your ability to
safely operate a boat.
– Do not use the boat in weather or
sea conditions beyond the skill or
experience of the operator or the
comfortable capability of the boat or
passengers.
– Be sure at least one other passen-
ger is familiar with the operation
and safety aspects of the boat in
case of an emergency.
– Make sure that passengers and
gear do not obstruct the operator's
view or ability to move.
– Do not exceed the maximum en-
gine power rating stated on the certification plate attached to the boat.
– Observe all safety signs and warn-
ings both inside the boat and in the
immediate boating area.
WARNING
Alcohol consumption and boating
do not mix! Operating under the
influence endangers the lives of
your passengers and other boaters. Federal laws prohibit operating a boat under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
Safe Operation
For safety reasons and proper care, always perform “Daily Pre-Operation
Checks” as specified in your Opera-
tor’s Guide before operating your craft.
Safe operation means that you do not
misuse your boat nor do you allow
your passengers to do so. Safe operation means using good judgment at all
times. It includes, without limitation,
the following actions:
– Load the boat within the limits listed
on the capacity plate. Balance loads
bow to stern and port to starboard.
– Maintain boat speed at or below the
local legal limit. Avoid excessive
speed or speeds not appropriate for
operating conditions.
Passenger Safety
Before getting underway, show all
passengers where emergency and
safety equipment is stowed, and explain how to use it. Everyone aboard
should wear rubber-soled shoes which
resist slipping on wet surfaces. While
underway, passengers should remain
seated inside the deck rails. Don't allow passengers to drag their feet or
hands in the water. Always use handholds and other safety hardware to
prevent falls. All non-swimmers, poor
swimmers, and children should wear a
PFD at all times. Federal regulations
require that children under 13 years of
age wear a PFD when the boat is underway unless they are in an enclosed
cabin or below deck.
SAFETY INFORMATION 21
Page 23
First Aid
As a boat operator, you should be familiar with basic first aid procedures
that may be needed while you are far
from help. Fish hook accidents or minor cuts and abrasions may be the
most serious mishaps on board a boat,
but you should also learn the proper
procedures and be ready to deal with
the truly serious problems like excessive bleeding, hypothermia, and burns.
First aid literature and courses are
available through most Red Cross
chapters.
Operation By Minors
Minors should always be supervised
by an adult whenever operating a boat.
Many states have laws regarding the
minimum age and licensing requirements of minors. Be sure to contact
the state boating authorities for information. Bombardier recommends a
minimum operator age of 16 years old.
Rules of the Road
As a responsible boater, you will comply with the “Rules of the Road”, the
marine traffic laws enforced by the
U.S. Coast Guard. Navigating a boat is
much the same as driving an automobile. Operating either one responsibly
means complying with a set of rules
intended to prevent accidents. Just as
you assume other car drivers know
what they are doing, other boaters assume you know what you are doing.
Operating a craft can be compared
with driving unmarked highways and
roads. To prevent collisions or avoid
other boaters, a system of operating
rules must be followed. It's not only
common sense...it's the law!
Check local and federal boating laws
applicable to the waterways where
you intend to use your craft. Learn the
local rules of the road. Know and understand the applicable navigation system (such as buoys and signs).
Know the waters in which the craft is
to be operated. Current, tides, rapids,
hidden obstacles, wakes and waves
etc. can affect safe operation. It is not
advisable to operate the craft in rough
or inclement weather.
Remember these Rules
of the Road
Know the Right of Way Rules
Generally keep to your right and safely
avoid other craft by keeping a safe distance from other craft, people and objects.
CROSSING
Give right of way to craft ahead and to
your right. Never cross in front of a
boat.
RED light (give way to the other boat).
GREEN light (you have the right of way).
MEETING HEAD-ON
Keep right.
PASSIN G
Give right of way to other craft and
keep clear.
Navigation System
Navigational aids, such as signs or
buoys, can help you identify safe waters. Buoys will indicate whether you
should keep to the right (starboard) or
to the left (port) of the buoy or to which
channel you can continue. They may
also indicate whether you are entering
a restricted or controlled area such as
a no wake or speed zone. They may
also indicate hazards or pertinent boating information. Markers may be located on shore or on the water. They can
also indicate speed limits, no power
craft or boating, anchorage and other
useful information. (The shape of each
type of marker will provide assistance).
22 SAFETY INFORMATION
Page 24
Make sure you know and understand
the navigation system applicable to
the waterways where you intend to
use the craft.
Collision Avoidance
– Do not release throttle when trying
to steer away from objects. You
need throttle to steer.
– Always keep a constant lookout for
other water users, other boats or
objects, especially when turning.
Be alert for conditions that may limit
your visibility or block your vision of
others.
– Respect the rights of other recre-
ationists and/or bystanders and always keep a safe distance from all
other craft, people and objects.
– Do not wake or wave jump, ride the
surf line or attempt to spray or
splash others with your craft. You
may misjudge the ability of the craft
or your own driving skills and strike
a boat or person.
– This craft has the capability of turn-
ing more sharply than other boats.
However, unless in an emergency,
do not negotiate sharp, high speed
turns. Such maneuvers make it hard
for others to avoid you or understand where you are going. Also,
you and/or your passenger(s) could
be thrown from the craft.
– Like any other craft, this sport boat
has no brake. Stopping distance will
vary depending on initial speed,
load, wind, and water conditions.
Practice stopping and docking in a
safe, traffic free area to have an idea
of how long it will take to stop the
craft under varying conditions.
– Maintaining or increasing speed may
be necessary to avoid a collision.
Safe Riding
– Always keep in mind that as the
throttle lever is returned to idle position, less directional control is
available, and when the engine is
off, directional control is lost. You
need throttle to steer.
– While your craft has the capacity of
operating at high speeds, it is
strongly recommended that high
speed operation only be applied
when ideal conditions exist and are
permitted. Higher speed operation
requires a higher degree of skill and
increases the risk of severe injuries.
– In shallow water, proceed with cau-
tion and at very low speeds.
Grounding or abrupt stops may result in injury. Debris may also be
picked up and be thrown rearward
by the jet pump onto people or property.
– Do not use the craft's reverse, if so
equipped, to stop. You or your passenger(s) could be violently ejected
forward or even off the craft onto
the hazard.
Operator/Passenger Awareness
– Do not start or operate the craft if
anyone is seated on the sun deck or
swim platform, or is nearby in the
water. Water and/or debris exiting jet
thrust nozzle can cause severe injury.
– The operator and passenger(s) should
be properly seated before starting or
moving the craft. All passenger(s)
should be instructed to use the handholds or seat straps provided.
– When accelerating a sport boat with
a passenger(s), whether from a
complete stop or while underway,
always do so progressively. Fast acceleration may cause your passenger(s) to loose their balance or grip
and strike something in the craft or
fall out of the craft. Make sure that
your passenger(s) know of, or anticipate, any rapid acceleration.
SAFETY INFORMATION 23
Page 25
Maneuverability of the
Craft/Towing
– Do not overload the craft or take on
more passengers than designated
for the particular craft. Overloading
can affect maneuverability, stability
and performance.
– Avoid adding on accessories or equip-
ment which may alter your control of
the craft.
– Riding with a passenger(s) or pulling
a tube, skier or wakeboarder makes
the craft handle differently and requires greater skill.
– Always respect the safety and com-
fort of your passenger(s) and person being towed on skis, wakeboard or other water products.
– Always carry an observer when pull-
ing a tube, skier or wakeboarder,
proceed with only as much speed
as required and follow the observer's instructions. Unless absolutely
necessary, do not make tight, sharp
turns. Keep a safe distance from the
docks, other swimmers, craft or objects.
– Use a tow rope of sufficient length
and size and make sure it is adequately secured to your craft. Some
sport boats are equipped or can be
fitted with a specially designed towing mechanism. It can become a
hazard should someone fall on it.
Don’t Forget:
– Ride smart from the start and we all
win!
Voluntary Inspections
State boating officials in many states
or the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliaries offer courtesy inspections to check out
your craft. They will check for compliance with safety standards and required safety equipment. You may voluntarily consent to one of these
inspections, and you are allowed time
to make corrections without prosecution. Check with the appropriate state
agency or the Coast Guard Auxiliary for
details.
Safe Boating Courses
The local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary
and the U.S. Power Squadrons offer
comprehensive safe boating classes
several times a year. You may contact
the BOAT/U.S. Foundation at 1 800
336-BOAT (2628) or, in Virginia, 1 800
245-BOAT (2628), for a course schedule in your area. Also contact the local
U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or Power
Squadron Flotilla for the time and place
of their next scheduled class. A boating safety course is recommended and
may be required in your province or
state.
Water Sports
WARNING
Avoid Personal Injury! Your boat is
not designed for and should not
be used for pulling parasails, kites,
gliders, or any device which can
become airborne. Use boat only
for appropriate water sports.
24 SAFETY INFORMATION
Page 26
Water skiing, wake boarding, or riding
a towed, inflatable apparatus are some
of the more popular water sports. Taking part in any water sport requires increased safety awareness by the participant and the boat operator. If you
have never pulled someone behind
your boat before, it is a good idea to
spend some hours as an observer,
working with and learning from an experienced driver. It is also important to
be aware of the skill and experience of
the person being pulled. Always have
a second person on board to observe
the person in the water so the driver
can concentrate on operating the boat.
Both the boat operator and observer
should monitor the location of the towrope when participating in watersports. A slack tow rope can become
entangled with person(s) or objects in
the boat or in the water, particularly
when making a tight turn or circling,
and cause serious personal injury.
Everyone participating in a water sport
should observe these guidelines:
1. Allow only capable swimmers to
take part in any water sport.
2. Always wear a personal flotation
device (PFD) approved by the U.S.
Coast Guard. Wearing a properly
designed PFD helps a stunned or
unconscious person stay afloat. A
Type-IV water-ski vest is an approved and practical PFD.
3. Have a second person aboard to ob-
serve the person being towed and
inform the driver about the participant’s hand signals. The driver must
give full attention to operating the
boat and the waters ahead.
4. Be considerate to others you share
the water with.
5. Give immediate attention to a person who has fallen. He or she is vulnerable in the water alone and may
not be seen by other boaters.
6. Approach a person in the water from
the lee side (opposite the direction
of the wind). Turn off the motor before coming close to the person.
7. Turn off engine and anchor the boat
before swimming.
8. Participate in water sports only in
safe areas. Stay away from other
boats, channels, beaches, restricted areas, swimmers, and heavily
traveled waterways and underwater obstructions.
9. Swim only in areas designated as
safe for swimming. These are usually marked with a swim area buoy.
Do not swim alone or at night.

10. Do not water ski between sunset
and sunrise. It is illegal in most
states.
11. Do not drive the boat directly behind a water skier, tuber or wakeboarder. At 25 miles per hour, the
boat will overtake a person who
falls in the water 200 feet in front
of your boat in about 5 seconds.
12. Shut engine off and remove ignition key when anyone is in the water nearby.
13. Stay at least 150 feet away from
areas marked by a diver down
float.

Digitally Encoded Security
System (DESS™)
The safety lanyard cap specifically contains an electronic circuit that gives it
a unique electronic serial number.
This safety lanyard can not be used on
another boat and conversely, the one
from another craft can not be used on
your craft.
However, the DESS brings a great flexibility. You can buy additional safety lanyards and have them programmed for
your craft. To have an additional safety
lanyard programmed, refer to an authorized Sea-Doo sport boat dealer.
If the engines are stopped with the
start/ stop buttons while the safety lanyard remains on the switch, they can
be restarted within approximately 10
minutes by pressing the start/stop buttons. After this delay, it is necessary to
apply slight pressure of the safety lanyard on the switch. Two short beeps
should sound indicating the system is
ready again to allow starting engines.

NOTE: Before checking the oil level
on these engines, it is necessary to let
them idle for 30 seconds before shutting off. Thereafter it is necessary to
wait 30 seconds. Then, the oil can be
checked. This is required to allow the
oil to properly level in the different oil
chambers. Otherwise, you will have a
false oil level reading.
1. Sport boat must be level. Check oil
level either with boat in water or out
of water. Engines should be warm.
CAUTION: Never run engines without supplying water to the exhaust
cooling systems when boat is out of
water.
2. If out of water, raise trailer tongue and
safely block in position when bumper
rail is level. Install a garden hose to
the flushing connectors. Refer to
FLUSHING in POST-OPERATION
CARE and follow the procedure.
CAUTION: Failure to flush exhaust
cooling systems, when engines are
out of water, may severely damage
engines and/or exhaust systems.
3. Warm-up engines then let idle for
30 seconds before stopping.
4. Stop engines.
5. Wait at least 30 seconds then pull

Principle of Operation
Propulsion
Each engine is directly coupled to a
drive shaft which, in turn, rotates an
impeller. This impeller is accurately adjusted in a housing where the water is
drawn up from underneath the sport
boat. Then, the water flows through
the impeller into a venturi. The venturi
accelerates the water and produces
thrust to move the sport boat. Pushing
the throttle levers forward increases
engine speed and therefore sport boat
speed.
With shift lever pushed forward, the
sport boat moves forward. In pulled
back position, the sport boat moves
backward. The middle position is neutral and the sport boat is at the minimum thrust for most conditions. Neutral and reverse are achieved by means
of a gate, which is installed on the jet
pump venturi housings. These gates
direct the water flow to obtain the desired direction.
WARNING
Shift lever should only be used
when the engines are idling and
craft is completely stopped.
F04L0YY
TYPICAL
WARNING
Whenever an engine is to be started, the operator and passengers
should always be sitting in the
craft with the shifter lever in neutral position and throttle levers in
idle position.
Steering
Turning the steering pivots the jet pump
nozzles which control the sport boat direction. Turning the steering clockwise
will turn the sport boat to the right and
inversely.
F09L12Y
TYPICAL — RIGHT-HAND TURN
Above idle speed, the throttles must
be applied to turn the sport boat.
WARNING
When the shifter is in the neutral
position, the impellers are turning.
62
Page 63
WARNING
Throttle must be applied and steering turned to change the direction of
the craft at speed. Steering efficiency will differ depending on the number of passengers, load and water
conditions.
A craft needs some throttle to turn.
Practice in a safe area applying the
throttle and turning away from an
imaginary object. This is a good collision avoidance practice.
CAUTION: Although the boat requires only 30 cm (1 ft) of water to
float, the engines should be started
with at least 90 cm (3 ft) of water below the hull to protect the propulsion system.
A
A
Turning when Using the Reverse
The sport boat behaves differently
when using reverse. The steering response is the opposite of forward operation. Turning the steering clockwise
will turn the sport boat to the left and
inversely. Use throttle moderately. Too
much RPM will create water turbulence and reduce reverse efficiency. At
first outing, carefully practice this maneuver away from anything with which
you might collide.
Boarding from a Dock
As with any boat, boarding should be
done carefully and engines must not
be running.
When boarding from a dock, slowly
place one foot on the sport boat deck
nearest to the dock and then move the
other foot inside the boat. Push the
sport boat away from the dock.

General Care
Once trailered, should water be
present in the bilge after use of bilge
pump, unscrew the drain plugs and tilt
the sport boat up at the bow in order
to allow water to drain.
Remove any remaining water in the
engine compartment (bilge, engines,
etc.) with clean dry rags. This is particularly important in salt water use.
Remove the sport boat from the water
every day to prevent marine organisms growth.
Additional Care for Foul
Water or Salt Water
When the sport boat is operated in foul
water and particularly in salt water, additional care must be taken to protect
the sport boat and its components.
Rinse trailer and boat’s hull/bilge area
with fresh water.
CAUTION: Failure to perform proper
care such as: craft rinsing, cooling
system flushing and anticorrosion
treatment, when used in salt water,
will result in damage to the sport boat
and its components. Never leave the
craft stored in direct sunlight.
Flushing should be performed when the
sport boat is not expected to be used
further the same day or when the sport
boat is stored for any extended time.
WARNING
Perform this operation in a well ventilated area.
Proceed as follows:
Clean jet pump by spraying water in its
inlet and outlet and then apply a coating of Bombardier Lube™ lubricant or
equivalent.
WARNING
When operating the engines while
the sport boat is out of the water,
the heat exchangers become very
hot. Avoid any contact with heat
exchangers as burns may occur.
Connect a garden hose to connector
located at the rear of sport boat on jet
pump support. Do not open water tap
yet.
NOTE: An optional quick connect
adapter can be used (P/N 295 500 473).
No hose pincher is required to flush engine.
Exhaust Cooling System

Flushing
To flush the exhaust cooling systems,
start each engine then immediately
open the water tap.
WARNING
Certain components in the engine
compartment may be very hot. Direct contact may result in skin burn.
Do not touch any electrical parts or
jet pump area when engine is running.
CAUTION: Never flush a hot engine.
Always start each engine before
opening the water tap. Open water
tap immediately after each engine is
started to prevent overheating.
Run each engine about 20 seconds at
a fast idle between 4000 - 5000 RPM.
CAUTION: Never run engines without supplying water to the exhaust
cooling systems when sport boat is
out of water.
Ensure water flows out of jet pumps
while flushing. Otherwise, refer to an
authorized Sea-Doo dealer for servicing.
CAUTION: Never run engines longer
than 5 minutes. Drive line seals have
no cooling when the sport boat is out
of water.
Close the water tap, then stop the engine.
CAUTION: Always close the water tap
before stopping the engine.
Anticorrosion Treatment
To prevent corrosion, spray a corrosion
inhibitor (salt water resistant) such as
Bombardier Lube™ lubricant or equivalent over metallic components in engine compartment.

SPECIAL PROCEDURE
Engine Overheating
CAUTION: If the monitoring beeper
continuously sounds, stop engines
immediately.
Perform the Jet Pump Water Intake
and Impeller Cleaning procedure in
this section.
Flush exhaust cooling system, refer to
POST-OPERATION CARE.
If engines still overheat, refer to an authorized dealer for servicing.
Inlet Clearance System
(ICS)
WARNING
Keep away from intake grates
while engines are on. Items such
as long hair, loose clothing or personal flotation device straps can
become entangled in moving
parts resulting in severe injury or
drowning.
Weeds, shells or debris can get caught
on the intake grates, drive shafts
and/or impellers. A clogged water intake may cause troubles such as:
1. Cavitation: Engine speed is high
but sport boat moves slowly due to
reduced jet thrust; jet pump components may be damaged.
2. Overheating: Since jet pump operation controls the flow of water to
cool the engines, clogged intakes
will cause the engine(s) to overheat
and damage engine internal components.
The clogged area can be cleaned as
follows:
Inlet Clearance System (ICS): Place
shifter in neutral position. Let the
boat stop by itself then push and hold
the ICS button. This will lower the water intake grates. Wait at least 20 seconds to allow weeds or other debris to
escape from grate(s). Release button.
It may be necessary to repeat the procedure.
CAUTION: Operating the sport boat
with the water intake grates in lower
position will cause damage to the
ICS.
In severe conditions if the above method does not work, the following can be
performed:
– With engines running, put shift le-
ver in reverse position and vary
throttles quickly several times.
– Retry boat.
Most of the time, debris will escape
from the propulsion system.
Out of water cleaning: If the system
is still clogged, shut off the engines by
removing the safety lanyard.
WARNING
Always remove safety lanyard from
switch to prevent accidental engine
starting before cleaning the jet
pump area.
From underneath boat, manually clean
each water intake area. If the system
is still clogged, refer to an authorized
dealer for servicing.
CAUTION: Avoid sport boat operation in weeded areas. If unavoidable,
vary sport boat speed. Weeds tend
to entangle more at steady and slow
speeds. Inspect water intake grates
for damage. Refer to an authorized
dealer for repair as necessary.

Capsized Boat
The sport boat is designed so that it
should not turn over easily due to its
long and wide dimensions. If the sport
boat ever capsizes, remember that it
will continue to float. It is usually best
to remain with it, you will be more easily located by others.
WARNING
When boat is capsized, do not attempt to restart the engines. Operator and passengers should always wear approved personal
flotation devices.
Submerged Boat
To limit damages to the engines, perform the following procedure as soon
as possible.
Drain bilge.
If it was submerged in salt water, spray
bilge and all components with fresh water using a garden hose to stop the salt
corroding effect.
CAUTION: Never try to crank or start
the engines. Water trapped in intake
manifolds would flow towards the
engines and may cause severe damage to the engines.
Bring the sport boat to be serviced by
an authorized Sea-Doo dealer as soon
as possible.
CAUTION: The longer the delay before you have the engine serviced,
the greater the damage will be to the
engines.
Water-Flooded Engines
CAUTION: Never try to crank or start
the engines. Water trapped in intake
manifolds would flow towards the
engines and may cause severe damage to the engines.
Bring the sport boat to be serviced by
an authorized Sea-Doo dealer as soon as
possible.
CAUTION: The longer the delay before you have the engines serviced,
the greater the damage will be to the
engines. Failure to have the engines
properly serviced may cause severe
engine damage.
Fuel-Flooded Engines
When an engine does not start after
several attempts, that engine may be
fuel-flooded. Proceed as follows.
Crank engine several times.
If it does not work:
Disconnect ignition coil connectors.
WARNING
When disconnecting coil from
spark plug, always disconnect coil
from main harness first. Never
check for engine ignition spark
from an open coil and/or spark
plug in the engine compartment
as spark may cause fuel vapor to
ignite.
Remove ignition coils.
CAUTION: Ensure there is no dirt in
coil holes prior to removing the spark
plugs. Otherwise, dirt would fall into
cylinder and will damage the internal
components.
Remove spark plugs.
NOTE: After untightening the spark
plugs, a coil may be used to pull the
spark plugs out. Simply bring the coil
down to spark plug and “hook” it to
then extract spark plug.
Install new spark plugs if available or dry
spark plugs using a rag.
Cover spark plug holes with a rag.
Reinstall spark plugs and ignition coils.
Install clean dry spark plugs if possible.
Reconnect ignition coil connector.
70
Page 71
NOTE: Prior to inserting the ignition coil to
its location, apply some Molykote 111
grease (P/N 413 707 000) around the seal
area that touches the spark plug hole. After installation, ensure the seal seats properly with the engine top surface.
Start engine(s) as explained above. If
engine(s) continue to flood, see an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
CAUTION: Never run an engine without supplying water to the exhaust
cooling system when sport boat is
out of water.
Towing t h e Sport Boat in
Water
Special precautions should be taken
when towing a Sea-Doo sport boat in
water.
Maximum recommended towing speed
is 24 km/h (15 MPH).
When towing your sport boat in water,
pinch the water supply hose on each
engine from the impeller housing to
the exhaust manifold with a large hose
pincher (P/N 529 032 500).
CAUTION: Failure to do this may result in damage to the engines. If you
must tow a stranded sport boat in
water and do not have a hose pinchers, be sure to stay well below the
maximum towing speed of 24 km/h
(15 MPH).
Snugly install the hose pinchers on the
water supply hoses as shown for each
engine.

Engine Emissions
Information
Manufacturer’s Responsibility
Beginning with 1999 model year engines, manufacturers of marine engines must determine the exhaust
emission levels for each engine horsepower family and certify these engines
with the United States of America Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
An emissions control information label, showing emission levels and engine specifications, must be placed on
each vehicle at the time of manufacture.
Dealer’s Responsibility
When performing service on all 1999
and more recent Sea-Doo sport boats
that carry an emissions control information label, adjustments must be
kept within published factory specifications.
Replacement or repair of any emission
related component must be executed
in a manner that maintains emission
levels within the prescribed certification standards.
Dealers are not to modify the engine
in any manner that would alter the
horsepower or allow emission levels
to exceed their predetermined factory
specifications.
Exceptions include manufacturer’s
prescribed changes, such as altitude
adjustments for example.
74
Page 74
Owner Responsibility
The owner/operator is required to have
engine maintenance performed to
maintain emission levels within prescribed certification standards.
The owner/operator is not to, and should
not allow anyone to modify the engine
in any manner that would alter the
horsepower or allow emissions levels to
exceed their predetermined factory
specifications.
EPA Emission Regulations
All new 1999 and more recent Sea-Doo
sport boats manufactured by Bombardier
are certified to the EPA as conforming
to the requirements of the regulations
for the control of air pollution from new
sport boat engines. This certification is
contingent on certain adjustments being set to factory standards. For this reason, the factory procedure for servicing
the product must be strictly followed
and, whenever practicable, returned to
the original intent of the design.

STORAGE AND PRE-SEASON PREPARATION
WARNING
Because fuel and oil are flammable, have an authorized Sea-Doo
sport boat dealer inspect the fuel
and oil systems integrity as specified in the PERIODIC INSPECTION
CHART.
Storage
It is recommended that the sport boat
be taken to an authorized dealer for
proper storage but the following operations can be performed by you with a
minimum of tools.
CAUTION: Do not run the engines
during the storage period.
Fuel System
Sea-Doo fuel stabilizer (or equivalent),
can be added in fuel tank to prevent fuel
deterioration and fuel system gumming. Follow stabilizer manufacturer’s
instructions for proper use.
CAUTION: Fuel stabilizer should be
added prior to engine lubrication to
ensure fuel system components protection against varnish deposits.
WARNING
Always stop the engine before refueling. Fuel is flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Always work in a well ventilated area. Do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks in the vicinity. Fuel
tank may be pressurized, turn cap
slowly when opening. Never use
an open flame to check fuel level.
When fueling, keep boat level. Do
not overfill or top off the fuel tank
and leave boat in the sun. As temperature increases, fuel expands
and might overflow. Always wipe
off any fuel spillage from the boat.
Periodically verify fuel system.
Engine Oil and Filter
Replacement
The oil change and filter should be performed by an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
Exhaust Cooling System
Flushing and Engine Internal
Lubrication
Exhaust Cooling System Flushing
Refer to FLUSHING under POSTOPERATION CARE.
Engine Internal Lubrication
Open the engine compartment lid.
Remove storage tray.
Remove dipstick.
Remove fuel rail cover.
Reinstall dipstick.
Disconnect ignition coil connectors.
WARNING
When disconnecting coil from spark
plug, always disconnect coil from
main harness first. Never check for
engine ignition spark from an open
coil and/or spark plug in the engine
compartment as spark may cause
fuel vapor to ignite.
IMPORTANT: Never cut the locking ties
of ignition coil connectors. This would allow mixing the wires between cylinders.
Remove ignition coils.
CAUTION: Ensure there is no dirt in
coil holes prior to removing the spark
plugs. Otherwise, dirt would fall into
cylinder and will damage the internal
components.
Remove spark plugs.
NOTE: After loosening the spark
plugs, a coil may be used to remove
the spark plugs. Simply bring the coil
down to spark plug and “hook” it to
then extract spark plug.
82
Page 82
Spray Bombardier Lube™ lubricant or
equivalent, into spark plug holes.
Apply anti-seize lubricant on spark plug
threads then reinstall them.
Crank each engine a few turns to distribute the oil on cylinder wall.
NOTE: Prior to inserting the ignition coil
to its location, apply some Molykote 111
grease (P/N 413 707 000) around the
seal area that touches the spark plug
hole. After installation, ensure the seal
seats properly with the engine top surface.
Reinstall ignition coils. Reconnect ignition coil connectors.
To reinstall fuel rail cover, remove dipstick, push fuel rail cover downward
until it snaps.
Reinstall dipstick.
NOTE: It is recommended to fog the
engine valves with Bombardier Lube™
lubricant. Contact your authorized SeaDoo dealer.
Battery
Contact your authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
Engine Cooling System
Antifreeze should be replaced for the
storage period to prevent antifreeze
deterioration.
A density test and/or antifreeze replacement should be performed by an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
CAUTION: Improper antifreeze mixture might allow freezing of the liquid in the cooling system if vehicle is
stored in area where freezing point is
reached. This would seriously damage the engine. Failure to replace the
antifreeze for storage may allow its
degradation that could result in poor
cooling when engine will be used.
WARNING
In order to avoid potential burns, do
not remove the radiator cap or loosen the engine drain plug if the engine(s) is/are still hot.
Boat Cleaning/Repair
Wash the body and the trailer with soap
and water solution (only use mild detergent). Rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Remove any marine organisms
from the hull.
CAUTION: Never clean apparent fiberglass and plastic parts with
strong detergent, degreasing agent,
paint thinner, acetone, etc.
Stains may be removed from seats and
fiberglass with Knight’s Spray-Nine
the equivalent.
If repairs are needed to the body or to
the hull contact your dealer. For paint
touch up to mechanical parts use Bombardier spray paint. For minor gelcoat
repairs, a Bombardier repair kit is available. Replace damaged labels/decals.
Clean the bilge with hot water and detergent or with bilge cleaner. Rinse
thoroughly. Unscrew drain plug and lift
front end of sport boat to completely
drain bilge.
Finalizing Storage Preparation
Apply a non-abrasive wax to body.
The engine storage cover should be
left partially opened during storage
(detach the gas shocks from the cover
to prevent full opening). Remove storage tray. Place it on deck. This will
avoid engine compartment condensation and possible corrosion.
If the sport boat is to be stored outside, cover it with a vented opaque tarpaulin to prevent UV (ultraviolet) rays
and grime from affecting the plastic
components, sport boat finish, as well
as preventing dust accumulation.

The emission warranty covers damage to other engine components that is
caused by the failure of a warranted part.
The Bombardier Operator’s Guide provided contains written instructions for the
proper maintenance and use of your Sport Boat. All emission warranty parts are
warranted by Bombardier for the entire warranty period of the Sport Boat, unless
the part is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Operator’s
Guide.
Emission warranty parts that are scheduled for replacement, as required maintenance, are warranted by Bombardier for the period of time before the first scheduled replacement date for that part. Emission warranty parts that are scheduled
for regular inspection, but not regular replacement, are warranted by Bombardier
for the entire warranty period of the Sport Boat. Any emission warranty part repaired or replaced under the terms of this warranty statement is warranted by
Bombardier for the remainder of the warranty period of the original part. All parts
replaced under this limited warranty become the property of Bombardier.
Maintenance receipts and records should be transferred to each subsequent
owner of the Sport Boat.
Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
As the owner of a Sea-Doo Sport Boat equipped with a Rotax engine(s), you are
responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Oper-
ator’s Guide. Bombardier recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your Rotax engine, but Bombardier cannot deny warranty solely for
the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
As the owner of a Sea-Doo Sport Boat equipped with a Rotax engine(s), you
should however be aware that Bombardier may deny you warranty coverage if
your Rotax engine(s) or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your Rotax engine to an authorized Bombardier
Dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs will be completed in a
reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities or
for the name and location of the nearest authorized Bombardier Dealer you should
contact the Customer Assistance Center at 1-715-848-4957.
