Please followall safety instructions and operate yourwatercraft with care. Be sure everyoperator of your watercraft fully under-stands the controls and operation of itand the importance of courteous, re-sponsible riding. Each operator has aresponsibility to ensure the safety ofhis/her passenger(s) and of other wa-ter users. Always inform your passen-gers of safety precautions.Some of the information contained inthis safety section may be new to youwhile other information may be com-mon sense or obvious. Irrespective,we want you to have a safe, pleasur-able riding experience, so please takea few minutes of your time to com-pletely read this short safety section.Failure to follow the instructions of thissafety section may result in severe in-jury or death.This safety section is for initial ref-erence and its content is thereforelimited. section It should be read inconjunction with the rest of this Oper-ator's Guide, the Safety Videocassetteand the on-product warning/ cautionlabels. It is also strongly recommend-ed that operators obtain further infor-mation concerning “Boating Rules”from a local Coast Guard Auxiliary,Powerboat Squadron or other localboating authorities.

Many states or provinces have re-quirements regarding boating safetyand competence certificates. BRPstrongly recommends that any water-craft operator completes a safety andcompetence boating course. Checkwith your local Coast Guard or PowerSail Squadron in your area for courseavailability.Some boating safety information canbe obtained from the Boating Safety/Regulation Websites listed at the endof this safety section.Regulations concerning boating aremodified from time to time. It is ad-visable to periodically check the localregulations wherever you plan to op-erate your watercraft.We encourage you to have an Annu-al Safety Inspection of your personalwatercraft. Please contact your deal-er for further details.Finally, we urge you to visit your dealerregularly for regular and safety main-tenance and for any accessories youmay require.Have fun and... Bon Voyage.


SAFETY CHECK LIST

To fully appreciate the pleasures, en-joyment and excitement of boatingthere are some basic rules that shouldbe observed and followed by anyboater. Failure to follow this safety in-formation and safe boating rules couldresult in injury, including the possibili-ty of death to you, your passenger(s),the people you lend your watercraftto, or other water users.

GeneralBRP recommends a minimum opera-tor age of 16 years old.A boating safety course is recom-mended and may be required in yourprovince or state.The performance of this watercraftmay significantly exceed that of othercraft you may have operated. Makesure to become completely familiarwith the controls and operation of thewatercraft before embarking on yourfirst trip or taking on a passenger(s). Ifyou have not had the opportunity to doso, practice driving solo in a suitabletraffic free area and feel the responseof each control. Be fully familiar withall controls before accelerating aboveidle speed. Do not assume that allPWCs handle identically. Each modeldiffers, often substantially.The operator of the watercraft con-trols, and is responsible for the wa-tercraft's safe operation. He/she alsohas the responsibility to require thatpassenger(s) and people, to whomhe/she lends the watercraft to, readand understand this safety sectionOperator's Guide, the Safety Video-cassette and the on-product warn-ing/caution labels.Ensure that all passengers know howto swim and how to reboard the wa-tercraft from the water.

Boarding in deep water can be strenu-ous. Practice in chest-deep water be-fore operating or embarking your wa-tercraft in deep water.A PWC will not self-right if capsized.The operator and passengers mustknow the proper righting procedureas explained in the Operator's Guide.Make sure engine is off before rollingover the watercraft.Your local Power Squadron or state/provincial authorities will be pleased toconduct a complementary safety ex-amination of your watercraft and helpyou define your needs.Never ride after consuming drugs oralcohol or if you feel tired or ill.When fueling, follow the safe boatingfueling instructions explicitly, as pro-vided in your Operator's Guide andthose given to you at the marina. Al-ways verify fuel level before use andduring the ride. Apply the principle of1/3 fuel to destination, 1/3 back and1/3 reserve fuel supply. Do not car-ry spare fuel or flammable liquids inany of the storage or engine compart-ments.Always stop the engine before fuelingand never allow anyone to remain onthe watercraft while fueling. Alwaysremember that fuel is flammable andexplosive under certain conditions.Do not smoke or allow open flames orsparks in the vicinity.Respect no wake zones, the rightsof other water users and the environ-ment. As the “skipper” and owner ofa watercraft you are responsible fordamage to other crafts caused by thewake of your watercraft. Allow no oneto throw refuse overboard.Don't forget that all persons must as-sist other boaters in an emergency.


GETTING UNDERWAY

To WearThe operator and passenger(s) mustwear a Coast Guard approved Person-al Flotation Device (PFD) that is suit-able for PWC use.An operator and the watercraft's pas-senger(s) should have ready accessto shatterproof glasses should ridingconditions or personal preference war-rant. Wind, water spray and speedmay cause a person's eyes to waterand create blurred vision.The operator and passenger(s) ofPWCs must wear protective clothing,including:– a wet suit bottom or thick, tight-

ly woven, snug fitting clothingthat provides equivalent protec-tion. Thin bike shorts for examplewould not be appropriate. Severeinternal injuries can occur if wateris forced into body cavities as aresult of falling into water or be-ing near jet thrust nozzle. Normalswimwear does not adequatelyprotect against forceful water entryinto the lower body opening(s) ofmales or females.

– footwear, gloves and goggles/glasses are also recommended.Some type of lightweight, flexiblefoot protection is recommended.This will help reduce possible injury,should you step on sharp underwa-ter objects.

Helmets

Some Important ConsiderationsHelmets are designed to offer somedegree of protection in case of im-pact to the head. In most motorizedsports, the benefits of wearing a hel-met clearly outweigh the drawbacks.However, in the case of motorized wa-tersports such as riding personal wa-tercraft, this is not necessarily true asthere are some particular risks associ-ated with the water.

BenefitsA helmet helps to reduce the risk ofinjury in case of a head impact againsta hard surface such as another craft,for example, in the case of a collision.Similarly, a helmet with a chinguardmight help prevent injuries to the face,jaw, or teeth.

RisksOn the other hand, in some situationswhen falling off the watercraft, hel-mets have a tendency to catch the wa-ter, like a “bucket”, and put severestresses on the neck or spine. Thiscould result in choking, severe or per-manent neck or spine injury, or death.Helmets may also interfere with pe-ripheral vision and hearing, or increasefatigue, which could contribute to in-crease the risk of a collision.

Weighing the Risks vs BenefitsIn order to decide whether or not youshould wear a helmet, it is best to con-sider the particular environment youwill be riding in, as well as other fac-tors such as personal experience. Willthere be a lot of traffic on the water?What is your riding style?

The Bottom LineSince each option minimizes somerisks, but increases others, beforeeach ride you must decide whether towear a helmet or not based on yourparticular situation.If you decide to wear a helmet, youmust then decide what type is themost appropriate for the circum-stances. Look for helmets that meetDOT or Snell standards, and if possi-ble, choose one designed for motor-ized watersports.

RacingDue to the nature of competition andthe proximity of other crafts, BRP rec-ommends wearing a helmet in closequarter PWC racing activities. Alwaysfollow the helmet requirements of thesanctioning organization.

To BringAlways carry the regulatory safetyitems and have them convenientlyon board available for use. Checkthe local regulations or consult yourauthorized Sea-Doo dealer. Such re-quired safety items usually include,without limitation, a sound signalingdevice such as a whistle, a watertightflashlight or approved flares, a buoy-ant heaving line, an anchor and rope*,a bailer*, and an appropriate fire ex-tinguisher*. The items marked witha “*” are not required in Canada if allpersons on board a PWC are wearinga PFD.A cellular telephone in a waterproofbag or container has also been foundto be beneficial to boaters when in dis-tress or just for contacting someoneon shore.


To DoRead and understand all warning/cau-tion labels on your Sea-Doo PWC,your Operator's Guide, all other safetydocuments, and watch properly yourSafety Videocassette, before operat-ing. Always keep in mind that the“m“ symbol, the Warning symbol,identifies an instruction which, if notfollowed, may cause serious person-al injuries including the possibility ofdeath.Check local and federal boating lawsapplicable to the waterways whereyou intend to use your watercraft.Learn the local rules of the road.Know and understand the applicablenavigation system (such as buoys andsigns).Know the waters in which the water-craft is to be operated. Current, tides,rapids, hidden obstacles, wakes andwaves etc. can affect safe operation.It is not advisable to operate the water-craft in rough or inclement weather.For safety reasons and proper care,always perform “Daily Pre-OperationChecks” as specified in your Opera-tor's Guide before operating your wa-tercraft.Keep the engine shut-off cord (safe-ty lanyard) attached to the operator'sPFD at all times and keep it free fromhandlebars so that engine stops if op-erator falls off. After riding, removecord from PWC to avoid unauthorizeduse by children or others. If operatorfalls off the watercraft and safety lan-yard is unattached, the watercraft willnot stop.


OPERATION

Collision AvoidanceDo not release throttle when trying tosteer away from objects. You needthrottle to steer.Always keep a constant lookout forother water users, other boats or ob-jects, especially when turning. Bealert for conditions that may limit yourvisibility or block your vision of others.Respect the rights of other recreation-ists and/or bystanders and alwayskeep a safe distance from all othercraft, people and objects.Do not wake or wave jump, ride thesurf line or attempt to spray or splashothers with your watercraft. You maymisjudge the ability of the watercraftor your own riding skills and strike aboat or person.This watercraft has the capability ofturning more sharply than other boats,however, unless in an emergency, donot negotiate sharp, high speed turns.Such maneuvers make it hard for oth-ers to avoid you or understand whereyou are going. Also, you and/or yourpassenger(s) could be thrown fromthe watercraft.Like any other craft, this PWC has nobrake. Stopping distance will vary de-pending on initial speed, load, wind,and water conditions. Practice stop-ping and docking in a safe, traffic freearea to have an idea of how long it willtake to stop the watercraft under vary-ing conditions.Maintaining or increasing speed maybe necessary to avoid a collision.

Safe RidingAlways keep in mind that as the throt-tle lever is released to idle position,less directional control is available, andas the engine is off, directional controlis lost. You need throttle to steer.

Ride within your limits and level ofriding ability. Avoid aggressive ma-neuvers to reduce the risk of loss ofcontrol, ejection and collision. Under-stand and respect the performance oryour watercraft.Always ride responsibly and safely.Use common sense and courtesy.While your watercraft has the ca-pacity of operating at high speeds, itis strongly recommended that highspeed operation only be applied whenideal conditions exist and are permit-ted. Higher speed operation requiresa higher degree of skill and increasesthe risk of severe injuries.The forces generated on the bodyof riders while turning, negotiatingwaves or wakes, operating in chop-py waters, or falling off the water-craft, especially at higher speeds, maycause injury including the possibility ofbroken legs and other bones or moreserious injuries. Remain flexible andavoid sharp turns.In shallow water, proceed with cautionand at very low speeds. Groundingor abrupt stops may result in injury.Debris may also be picked up and bethrown rearward by the jet pump ontopeople or property.Do not use the watercraft's reverse, ifso equipped, to stop. You or your pas-senger(s) could be violently ejectedforward onto the handlebars or evenoff the watercraft onto the hazard.PWCs are not designed for night-timeoperation.

Operator/PassengerAwarenessNever turn handlebar while someoneis nearby rear of watercraft. Keepaway from steering moving parts(nozzle, side vanes, linkage, etc.).


Do not start or operate the watercraftif anyone is seated on the sun deck,if so equipped, or swim platform, or isnearby in the water. Water and/or de-bris exiting jet thrust nozzle can causesevere injury.The operator and passenger(s) shouldbe properly seated before starting ormoving the watercraft, and at all timeswhen watercraft is in motion. All pas-senger(s) should be instructed to usethe handholds or seat straps provid-ed, or in the alternative on a PWC, tohold the waist of the person in front ofthem.When accelerating on a PWC with apassenger(s), whether from a com-plete stop or while underway, alwaysdo so progressively. Fast accelerationmay cause your passenger(s) to loosetheir balance or grip and fall rearwardoff the watercraft. Make sure thatyour passenger(s) know of, or antici-pate, any rapid acceleration.Keep away from intake grate while en-gine is on. Items such as long hair,loose clothing, or PFD straps can be-come entangled in moving parts re-sulting in severe injury or drowning.To prevent accidental starting, alwaysdetach the safety lanyard from the wa-tercraft when swimmers are boardingor nearby, or during removal of anyweeds or debris from the intake grate.It should be remembered that sun,wind, alcohol, drugs, fatigue and ill-ness, may impair your judgement andreaction time.On a PWC, never place your feet andlegs in the water to aid turning.

Maneuverabitily of theWatercraft/TowingDo not overload the watercraft or takeon more passengers than designatedfor the particular watercraft. Over-loading can affect maneuverability,stability and performance.

Avoid adding on accessories, or equip-ment which may alter your control ofthe watercraft.The watercraft may be fitted with toweyelets which can be used to attach aski rope.Riding with a passenger(s) or pullinga tube, skier or wakeboarder makesthe watercraft handle differently andrequires greater skill.Always respect the safety and comfortof your passenger(s) and person be-ing towed on skis, wakeboard or otherwater products.Always carry an observer when pullinga tube, skier or wakeboarder, proceedwith only as much speed as requiredand follow the observer's instructions.Unless absolutely necessary, do notmake tight, sharp turns. Keep a safedistance from the docks, other swim-mers, craft or objects.Use a tow rope of sufficient lengthand size and make sure it is adequate-ly secured to your watercraft. Whilesome craft are equipped or can be fit-ted with a specially designed towingmechanism avoid installing a tow poleon a PWC. It can become a hazardshould someone fall on it.Be advised that serious injury can re-sult if the tow rope becomes slack dur-ing a tight turn or when circling. Therope could become wrapped aroundthe neck or limbs of a person that hasfallen in the water.Don't forget:Ride smart from the start and we allwin!


OPERATING RULES

Operating a watercraft can be com-pared with driving unmarked high-ways and roads. To prevent collisionsor avoid other boaters, a system ofoperating rules must be followed. It'snot only common sense...it's the law!

Remember these Rulesof the Road

Know the Right of Way RulesGenerally keep to your right and safe-ly avoid other craft by keeping a safedistance from other craft, people andobjects.

CONTROLS/INSTRUMENTS/EQUIPMENTSFUNCTIONS

1) Safety Lanyard (enginecut-off cord)

The safety lanyard cap should be se-curely snapped onto its post to be fullyoperational.Pulling the safety lanyard cap from itspost stops the engine operation. At-tach the safety lanyard to the opera-tor's Personal Flotation Device (PFD)and snap the cap to the post to be ableto start the engine.

� WARNINGWhile engine can be stopped us-ing the engine start/stop button,good habits recommend that thesafety lanyard also be disconnect-ed when stopping.

Two short beeps indicates the sys-tem is ready to allow engine start-ing. Otherwise, refer to the TROU-BLESHOOTING section for the codedsignals chart.

��(# � �TYPICAL1. Safety lanyard cap on the post2. Safety lanyard secured on operator's PFD

� WARNINGShould the engine be stopped,watercraft directional control is re-duced. Always disconnect safetylanyard when watercraft is not inoperation in order to prevent acci-dental engine starting or to avoidunauthorized use by children orothers or theft.

If engine is not started within 5 sec-onds after installing the safety lanyardon its post, 4 short beeps every 3second interval will sound for approxi-mately 2 hours to remind you to startthe engine or to remove safety lan-yard. Afterwards, the beeps will stop.The same will occur when safety lan-yard is left on its post 5 seconds afterengine is stopped.Always ensure safety lanyard is notleft on its post after engine is stopped.IMPORTANT: Leaving the safety lan-yard on its post when engine is notrunning will slowly discharge the bat-tery.

Digitally Encoded SecuritySystem (DESS)The safety lanyard cap specifically con-tains an electronic circuit that gives it aunique electronic serial number. Thisis the equivalent of a conventional key.This safety lanyard cannot be used onanother watercraft and conversely, theone from another watercraft cannot beused on your watercraft.However, the DESS brings a great flex-ibility. You can buy an additional safe-ty lanyard and have it programmed foryour watercraft.To have additional safety lanyard, referto an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.


� WARNINGWhile engine can be stopped us-ing the engine start/stop button,good habits recommend that thesafety lanyard also be disconnect-ed when stopping.

2) HandlebarThe handlebar controls the direction ofthe watercraft. Turning the handlebarto the right steers the watercraft to theright and inversely.

LIQUIDS

CAUTION: Scrupulously follow theinstructions of this section. Failureto do so may reduce the engine's lifeand/or performance.

Fueling Procedure

� WARNINGFollow these safe boating fuelinginstructions explicitly.

Turn off engine.Do not allow anyone to remain on thewatercraft.Tie watercraft securely to the fuelingpier.Have a fire extinguisher close at hand.Do not insert the spout too far in fillerneck.Pour fuel slowly so that air can escapefrom the tank and prevent fuel flow-back. Be careful not to spill fuel.Stop filling when the fuel reaches thebottom of filler neck. Do not fill intothe filler tube to prevent fuel spill out.Do not overfill. Fully tighten fuel tankcap.


Recommended FuelUse unleaded regular gasoline withthe following recommended mini-mum octane number.

LOCATION OCTANE NUMBER

Inside NorthAmerica

87 octane (RON+ MON)/2

Outside NorthAmerica 91 RON

NOTE: Do not mix oil with fuel exceptif otherwise specified, at engine break-in. Refer to BREAK-IN PERIOD. Al-ways check injection oil reservoir levelwhen refueling.

CAUTION: Never experiment withother fuels or fuel ratios. Never usefuel containing more than 10% al-cohol, (ethanol or methanol). Theuse of non-recommended fuel canresult in watercraft performance de-terioration and damage to criticalparts in the fuel system and enginecomponents.


CAUTION: On RFI models, nev-er use injector cleaning products.They may contain additive thatcould damage injector components.

Recommended Oil

� WARNINGDo not overfill. Reinstall cap andfully tighten. Oil is flammable. Al-ways wipe off any oil spillage fromthe bilge.

Use only two-stroke engine injectionoil sold by authorized Sea-Doo dealers.

MODELS OIL TYPE

(or equivalent) ➀➁

GTI RFI,GTI LE RFI ➂

XP-S synthetic 2-strokeoil

➀ If XP-S mineral injection oil is notavailable, API TC high-quality low ashtwo-stroke injection oil may be used.

➁ XP-S synthetic 2-stroke oil and XP-Smineral injection oil are compatible,they can be mixed together.

CAUTION: ➂The XP-S synthetic2-stroke oil oil is specially formu-lated and tested for the severe re-quirements of the 787 RFIengines.Use of any other brand two-strokeoil may void the limited warranty.Use only XP-S synthetic 2-strokeoil. There is no known equivalenton the market for the moment. If ahigh quality equivalent were avail-able, it could be used.XP-S mineral injection oil is a specialblend of basic oil and additives espe-cially selected to ensure unequalled lu-brication, engine cleanliness and mini-mum spark plug fouling.

The XP-S synthetic 2-stroke oil pro-vides superior lubrication, reduced en-gine component wear and oil deposit,thus maintaining maximum-level per-formance and antifriction properties.This synthetic injection oil meets thelatest ASTM and JASO standards byensuring high biodegradability and lowexhaust smoke.

CAUTION: Never use four-strokepetroleum or synthetic motor oiland never mix these with out-board motor oil. Do not use NMMATC-W, TC-W2 or TC-W3 outboardtwo-stroke engine oils or ashlesstwo-stroke engine oils. Avoid mix-ing different brands of API TC oil asresulting chemical reactions maycause severe engine damage.

Oil Injection SystemThis watercraft features an oil injectionsystem which does not require manu-al fuel/oil mixing.A sufficient amount of injection oilshould be maintained in the reservoir.NOTE: It is recommended to carry a1 L of spare injection oil.The use of a funnel is recommendedto pour the oil into the reservoir. Stopfilling as soon as oil appears at approx-imately 13 mm (1/2 in) from top ofreservoir. Do not overfill.

CAUTION: Always maintain a suf-ficient amount of injection oil in theoil reservoir. Check and refill everytime you refuel if necessary. Do notoverfill. If the engine runs out ofoil, severe engine damage will oc-cur. If the oil reservoir is found al-most empty, air can enter in the sys-tem and it should be bled. Immedi-ately refer to an authorized Sea-Doodealer to have the oil injection sys-tem inspected.


BREAK-IN PERIOD

CAUTION: Scrupulously follow theinstructions of this section. Failureto do so may reduce the engine's lifeand/or performance.With Sea-Doo watercraft powered byRotax® engines, a break-in period of10 hours is required before continuousoperation at full throttle.To achieve a good break-in, throttlelever should not be depressed morethan 3/4, however, brief accelerationand speed variations contribute to agood break-in.

CAUTION: Continued wide openthrottle runs and prolonged cruis-ing without speed variations shouldbe avoided, this can cause enginedamage during the break-in period.


To assure additional protection duringthe initial engine break-in, it is recom-mended to add 1 L of the same oil asin the injection oil reservoir in the fueltank for the first full fuel tank filling on-ly.To add injection oil in the fuel tank,proceed as follows:Fill fuel tank with approximately 15liters (4 gal) of gasoline; then, add theinjection oil in the fuel.NOTE: Fill up fuel tank with gasoline.Do not overfill.NOTE: It is important to proceed inthis order to allow a proper mixing ofthe oil in the gasoline. If oil is addedfirst in an empty fuel tank, fuel lineswill be filled up with injection oil, whichwill keep the engine from starting.

CAUTION: Remove and cleanspark plugs after engine break-in.

RFI Models

NOTE: Do not add injection oil in thefuel tank for the break-in.

All Models

10-Hour InspectionIt is highly recommended that afterthe first 10 hours of operation, thewatercraft be checked by an autho-rized Sea-Doo dealer. This inspectionwill also provide the opportunity to dis-cuss the unanswered questions youmay have encountered during the firsthours of operation.

The 10-hour inspection is at the expenseof the watercraft owner.

� WARNINGMake sure drain plugs are properlysecured prior to launching the wa-tercraft in water.

Water Flow in CoolingSystem (only whentemperature is belowor close to freezing point)In Northern areas, if watercraft is tobe used when temperature is belowor close to freezing point (0°C (32°F))or if watercraft was left unused whiletemperature was below or close tofreezing point, water may be frozenin cooling system hoses. This couldcause cooling system overheating. Toensure it is properly working, do thefollowing prior to using the watercraft:– The procedure is to be performed

with watercraft out of water.– Connect a garden hose to the flush-

ing connector at jet pump.– Perform the flushing operation as

explained in POST-OPERATIONCARE.

– Ensure water flows out of jet pump.Otherwise, water is frozen in cool-ing system and restricts water flow.Do not operate the watercraft inthis condition.

NOTE: Pay attention that some waterwill also flow out of exhaust outlet.Make sure water is effectively flowingout of jet pump.

CAUTION: Operating watercraftwith frozen water in cooling systemmight lead to engine componentsdamage.NOTE: When water freezes, damageto engine components should not oc-cur because of water expansion, butbecause it prevents full flow of cool-ing water.– Either wait until ice melts or pour

some hot water to cooling sys-tem components and to engine.Then, perform the flushing oper-ation again to make sure waterproperly flows out of jet pump. Ifyou need assistance, refer to anauthorized Sea-Doo dealer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

� WARNINGAlways perform the PRE-OPERA-TION CHECKS before operatingthe watercraft. Become thorough-ly familiar with all controls andthe function of each. Should anycontrol or instruction not be fullyunderstood, refer to an authorizedSea-Doo dealer.

Principle of Operation

PropulsionThe engine is directly coupled to adrive shaft which, in turn, rotates animpeller. This impeller is accurate-ly adjusted in a housing where thewater is drawn up from underneaththe watercraft. Then the water flowsthrough the impeller to a venturi. Theventuri accelerates the water andproduces thrust to move the water-craft. Depressing the throttle leverincreases engine speed and thereforewatercraft speed.

��1A�'#

TYPICAL

� WARNINGWhenever the engine is to be start-ed, the operator and passenger(s)should always be properly sittingon the watercraft and be wear-ing protective clothing including aCoast Guard approved PFD and awet suit bottom.


The shift lever should be in the for-ward position in order for the water-craft to advance.

Neutral and Reverse

� WARNINGNever use jet pump componentsas a supporting point to boardthe watercraft. Shift lever shouldonly be used when the engine isidling and watercraft is complete-ly stopped. Never rev the engineat high RPM in reverse. Do notuse reverse to stop the watercraft.Only use reverse at slow speedand for the shortest time possible.Always ensure the path behindis clear of objects and personsincluding children playing in shal-low water.

To find the neutral, set in reverse thenpush back until the watercraft stopsmoving backwards.The reverse gate will be in the middleposition, directing half of the thrust to-ward the front of the watercraft to min-imize watercraft movement.

� WARNINGShift lever should only be usedwhen the engine is idling and wa-tercraft is completely stopped. Donot use reverse to stop the water-craft.

Steering

��1A�0#

Turning the handlebar pivots the jetpump nozzle which controls the wa-tercraft direction. Turning the handle-bar to the right will turn the watercraftto the right and inversely. The throt-tle should be applied to turn the wa-tercraft.

� WARNINGThrottle should be applied andhandlebar turned to change the di-rection of the watercraft. Steeringefficiency will differ depending onthe number of passengers, load,water conditions and environmen-tal factors such as the wind.

Unlike a car, a watercraft needs somethrottle to turn. Practice in a safe areaapplying the throttle and turning awayfrom an imaginary object. This is agood collision avoidance technique.

� WARNINGDirectional control is reducedwhen the throttle is releasedand/or when engine is off.

The watercraft behaves differentlywith a passenger and requires greaterskill. The passenger should alwaysgrip the seat strap or grab handle.Reduce speed and avoid sharp turns.Avoid choppy water conditions whencarrying a passenger.

CAUTION: Combustion engineneeds air to operate; consequent-ly this watercraft cannot be totallywatertight. Any maneuvers suchas figure eights etc., that cause theupper deck to be under water maycause severe engine problems dueto water ingestion. Refer to SPE-CIAL PROCEDURES and LIMITEDWARRANTY contained in this sec-tion.Two side vanes on the rear sides of thehull, turn as the steering is turned toassist the watercraft turning. At first,carefully experiment turning with thissystem.

POST-OPERATION CARE

� WARNINGAllow engine to cool before per-forming any maintenance.

General CareRemove the watercraft from the wa-ter every day to prevent marine organ-isms growth.Should any water be present in thehull, unscrew the drain plugs and tiltthe watercraft to the rear in order toallow water to flow out.Wipe up any remaining fluid in the en-gine compartment (bilge, engine, bat-tery, etc.) with clean dry rags (thisis particularly important in salt wateruse).

Additional Care for FoulWater or Salt WaterWhen the watercraft is operated infoul water and particularly in salt wa-ter, additional care should be taken toprotect the watercraft and its compo-nents. Rinse trailer and watercraft‘sbilge area with fresh water.

CAUTION: Failure to perform prop-er care such as: watercraft rinsing,cooling system flushing and anti-corrosion treatment, when water-craft is used in salt water, will resultin damage to the watercraft and itscomponents. Never leave the wa-tercraft stored in direct sunlight.

Cooling System Flushingand Engine InternalLubrication

GeneralFlushing the cooling system with freshwater is essential to neutralize corrod-ing effects of salt or other chemicalproducts present in water. It will helpto remove sand, salt, shells or oth-er particles in water jackets (engine,exhaust manifold, tuned pipe) and/orhoses.Engine lubrication and flushing shouldbe performed when the watercraft isnot expected to be used further thesame day or when the watercraft isstored for any extended time.

� WARNINGPerform this operation in a wellventilated area.

Proceed as follows:Clean jet pump by spraying water in itsinlet and outlet and then apply a coat-ing of BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricantor equivalent.Connect a garden hose to connectorlocated at the rear of watercraft on jetpump support.NOTE: A quick connect adapter canbe used (P/N 295 500 473).

SPECIAL PROCEDURES

Monitoring SystemTo assist you when using the water-craft, a system monitors some compo-nent of the watercraft and sends audi-ble signals through a beeper to informyou of a particular condition. Refer tothe TROUBLESHOOTING section forthe coded signals chart.

Engine OverheatingCAUTION: If the monitoring beep-er continuously sounds, stop en-gine immediately.Perform JET PUMP WATER INTAKEAND IMPELLER CLEANING proce-dure described in this section.When back to shore, flush coolingsystem, refer to POST-OPERATIONCARE.If engine still overheats, refer to an au-thorized Sea-Doo dealer for servicing.

Jet Pump Water Intakeand Impeller Cleaning


Weeds, shells or debris can get caughton the intake grate, drive shaft and/orimpeller. A clogged water intake maycause troubles such as:1. Cavitation: Engine speed is high

but watercraft moves slowly dueto reduced jet thrust, jet pumpcomponents may be damaged.

2. Overheating: Since the jet pumpoperation controls the flow of wa-ter to cool the engine, a clogged in-take will cause the engine to over-heat and damage engine internalcomponents.

A weed clogged area can be cleanedas follows:

In-Water CleaningRock the watercraft several timeswhile repeatedly pressing enginestart/stop button for short period with-out starting engine. Most of the time,this will remove the blockage. Startengine and make sure water flowsout from bleed outlet and watercraftoperates properly.If system is still blocked, move the wa-tercraft out of the water and removeblockage manually.If the aforementioned method doesnot work, the following can be per-formed:– With engine running and before

applying throttle, put shift lever inreverse position and vary throttlequickly several times.

– Repeat procedure if necessary.

On-Beach Water Cleaning

� WARNINGAlways remove safety lanyard capfrom its post to prevent accidentalengine starting before cleaning thejet pump area.

Place a cardboard or a carpet besidethe watercraft to prevent scratchingwhen turning the watercraft for clean-ing.Rotating watercraft in the proper direc-tion eliminates the possibility of resid-ual water in the tuned pipe enteringthe engine and causing engine dam-age.

Body Rinsing/RepairWash the body with soap and watersolution (only use mild detergent).Rinse thoroughly with fresh water.Remove marine organisms from thehull.

CAUTION: Never clean fiberglassand plastic parts with strong deter-gent, degreasing agent, paint thin-ner, acetone, etc.For small gelcoat repairs, refer to anauthorized Sea-Doo dealer. Replacedamaged labels/decals.

Propulsion SystemLubricant in jet pump reservoir shouldbe drained and reservoir cleaned. Re-fer to an authorized Sea-Doo dealer forthis operation.Grease lubrication point(s) of propul-sion system as explained in MAINTE-NANCE section.

Fuel SystemSea-Doo fuel stabilizer (or equivalent),can be added in fuel tank to preventfuel deterioration and carburetor gum-ming. Follow manufacturer's instruc-tions for proper use.

CAUTION: Fuel stabilizer shouldbe added prior to engine lubricationto ensure fuel system componentsprotection against varnish deposits.


Cooling System Flushing andEngine Internal LubricationRefer to procedure in POST-OPERA-TION CARE.


BatteryContact your authorized Sea-Doo deal-er.

Antifreezing ProtectionNOTE: This procedure requires ap-proximately 2.5 L (2.6 U.S. qt.) of an-tifreeze.In cool regions where freezing pointmay be encountered, cooling systemshould be filled with an equal part ofwater and antifreeze solution.

CAUTION: Antifreeze must be fedin cooling system. Otherwise re-maining water will freeze. Thisoperation requires a good technicalknowledge of the cooling systempath. If antifreezing is not per-formed adequately, any water leftin the engine/exhaust system couldfreeze and cause severe damage.We strongly recommend this oper-ation to be performed by an autho-rized Sea-Doo dealer.

CAUTION: Use only undiluted an-tifreeze (100% concentration). Thepre-mixed antifreeze available fromBombardier Recreational ProductsInc. is not suitable for this partic-ular application. Its concentrationwill be reduced when mixed withremaining water trapped in waterjackets. Always use ethylene glycolantifreeze containing corrosion in-hibitors specifically recommendedfor aluminum engines. Never useantifreeze for RV (recreational vehi-cles).NOTE: When available, it is rec-ommended to use biodegradableantifreeze compatible with internalcombustion aluminum engines. Thiswill contribute to protect the environ-ment.NOTE: The engine will not have torun during this operation but shouldhave been ran before, to exhaust asmuch water as possible, from coolingsystem components.

NOTE: It may be easier to reachhoses when you remove the venttube support.

��"# �TYPICAL1. Vent tube support

Hose Pinchers InstallationSome hoses have to be plugged toprevent draining, before filling coolingsystem jackets with the antifreeze.Install hose pinchers at the followinglocation:

��"# �TYPICAL1. Hose pincher below T-fitting

Pour approximately 300 mL (10 oz) ofantifreeze in the water regulator valvesupply hose to allow antifreeze flow-ing through the valve and into mufflerto protect them.Reconnect hose to T-fitting and re-move hose pincher (if applicable).Remove temporary hose (on 717 en-gines) and reconnect engine wateroutlet hose.Remove remaining hose pinchers.


NOTE: Most of the antifreeze willdrain out when removing the hosepinchers. Use a container to recoverit. DISPOSE ANTIFREEZE AS PERYOUR LOCAL LAWS AND REGULA-TIONS.NOTE: Although antifreeze mainlydrained out, the antifreeze has mixedwith the water that was possiblytrapped in the water jackets. This willprevent freezing problems.At preseason preparation, drain the re-maining antifreeze from cooling sys-tem prior to using the watercraft.The following steps should be per-formed to provide the watercraft en-hanced protection.Clean the bilge with hot water and de-tergent or with bilge cleaner. Rinsethoroughly. Lift front end of water-craft to completely drain bilge. If anyrepairs are needed to body or to thehull contact your authorized Sea-Doodealer. For paint touch up to mechan-ical parts use BRP spray paint.Reinstall vent tube support (if applica-ble).

Anticorrosion TreatmentWipe off any residual water in the en-gine compartment.Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricantor equivalent over metallic compo-nents in engine compartment.

� WARNINGDo not lubricate the safety lanyardpost.

Lubricate the throttle cable with BOM-BARDIER LUBE lubricant or equiva-lent.

Final StepsApply a good quality marine wax to thebody.

The seat and the seat extension (ifso equipped) should be partially leftopened and storage baskets (if soequipped) should be removed dur-ing storage. This will prevent enginecompartment condensation and pos-sible corrosion.If the watercraft is to be stored out-side, cover it with an opaque tarpaulinto prevent sun rays and grime from af-fecting the plastic components, water-craft finish as well as preventing dustaccumulation.

CAUTION: The watercraft shouldnever be left in water for storage.Never leave the watercraft stored indirect sunlight. Never completelyseal watercraft in a plastic wrap.Ventilation must be provided toavoid condensation and possiblecorrosion.

Preseason PreparationUse the following chart.Since technical skills and special toolsare required, some operations shouldbe performed by an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.

� WARNINGOnly perform procedures as de-tailed in this guide. It is recom-mended that the assistance of anauthorized Sea-Doo dealer be pe-riodically obtained on other com-ponents/ systems not covered inthis guide. Unless otherwise spec-ified, engine must not be runningand the safety lanyard must be re-moved from its post for all main-tenance procedures. Componentsinside engine compartment maybe hot. When component condi-tions seem less than satisfactory,replace with genuine BRP parts orapproved equivalents.
