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 Videocassette provided with the craft, to read this Op-
erator’s Guide, and on-product warning/caution labels and familiarize yourself with
the contents. These manuals contain pertinent information which, if followed, will
provide you with the necessary knowledge to help you fully enjoy the pleasures
of this craft.
We strongly recommend that any craft operator complete a safety 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 craft and the importance of courteous, respon-
sible riding.
Each 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 craft. Please
contact your authorized Sea-Doo dealer for further details.
Finally, we urge you to visit your authorized Sea-Doo dealer regularly for regular
and safety maintenance as well as any craft accessories you may require.
Have fun and... Bon Voyage.
Please keep this guide on board. This manual should remain with the craft
at time of resale.

FOREWORD
This Operator’s Guide has been pre-
pared to acquaint the owner/operator
or passenger of this sport boat with
the various sport boat controls, main-
tenance 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 under-
stand 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 haz-
ard warnings which alert you to safety
precautions related to unsafe condi-
tions 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 conse-
quences of the hazards and how to
avoid them. Failure to follow the rec-
ommendations in a hazard communi-
cation statement may result in proper-
ty damage, personal injury, or death.
People often refer to a hazard state-
ment as a warning in a general sense.
This manual uses three kinds of “warn-
ings”depending on the likely effect of
a hazard (minor injury, severe injury,
death).
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 in-
struction relating to equipment opera-
tion and/or maintenance procedures.
Although the mere reading of such in-
formation does not eliminate the haz-
ard, 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.
WARNING
Identifies a potentially or immi-
nently hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, COULD result in se-
rious personal injuries including
the possibility of death or substan-
tial property damage.
