Doin'it on your new Sea-Doo Watercraft
Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a Sea-Doo personal watercraft.
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 watercraft,
to read this Operator’s Guide , the Safety Handbook and familiarize yourself with
the contents. These Guides 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 watercraft 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 watercraft and the importance of courteous,
responsible riding.
Each operator has a responsibility to ensure the passenger safety and the safety
of other water users. Please follow all safety instructions and drive with care.
We encourage you to have an Annual Safety Inspection of your watercraft. Please
contact your dealer for further details.
Finally, we urge you to visit your dealer regularly for regular and safety mainte-
nance as well as any craft accessories you may require.
Have fun and... Bon Voyage.
PLEASE KEEP THIS
GUIDE AND SAFETY HANDBOOK ON BOARD. THESE
MANUALS SHOULD REMAIN WITH THE CRAFT AT TIME OF RESALE.

 SAFETY WARNING
General
To fully appreciate the pleasures,
enjoyment and excitement of boat-
ing there are some basic rules that
shouldbeobservedandfollowedby
any boater. Some rulesmay be new
to you or covered in the PWC/Sport
boat
SafetyHandbook or SafetyVid-
eo , others may be common sense
or obvious… irrespective, we ask
that you please take a few minutes
of your time to read these safety in-
structions completely before you
operate your craft. Failure to fol-
low this safety information and
safe boating rules could result in
injury, including the possibility of
death to you, your passenger(s),
or other water users.
Information in this guide is limited.
It is strongly recommended that
you obtain further boating informa-
tion from the local Coast Guard or
Power Squadron. We also recom-
mend all operators to take a boating
safety course. Please check local
and federal boating laws applicable
to the waterways where you intend
tousethecraft.Learnthelocalrules
of the road. Always carry the regu-
latory required safety items on
board.
The performance of this craft may
significantly exceed that of other
boats you have operated. There-
fore, use of this craft by a novice or
inexperienced operator, or an un-
derage or disabled person, is not
recommended.
Observe and follow all on-product
warning labels.
Become completely familiar with
the controls and operation of the
craft before embarking on your first
trip or taking on a passenger(s). If
you have not had the opportunity to
dosowithyour dealer, practicedriv-
ing solo in a suitable area and feel
theresponseofeachcontrol.Beful-
ly familiar with all controls before
advancing the throttle above idle
speed. As its operator, you control
and are responsible for the craft’s
safe operation.
Operation
Always perform the pre-operation
checks as specified in this guide.
Always keep in mind that as the
throttle lever is released to idle posi-
tion, less directional control is avail-
able. To turn the craft, both steer-
ing and throttle are necessary.
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. You and your passenger(s)
could be thrown from the craft. It
should also be remembered that
sun, wind, alcohol or drugs, may im-
pair your judgment and reaction
time.
While your craft has the capacity of
operatingathighspeeds,itisstrong-
lyrecommendedthathighspeedop-
eration 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.

The forces generated on the body of
riders while turning, negotiating
waves or wakes, operating in chop-
py waters, or falling off the water-
craft, especially at higher speeds,
may cause injury including the pos-
sibility of broken legs and other
bones. Remain flexible and avoid
sharp turns. Never place your feet
and legs in the water to aid turning.
Always keep a constant lookout
for other water users especially
when turning. Make sure to keep a
safe distance from all other craft.
This craft has no brake. Stopping
distance will vary depending on ini-
tial 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 con-
ditions. Maintaining or increasing
speed may be necessary to avoid
a collision. Do not use the craft’s
reverse, if so equipped, to stop.
Ensure that all passengers know
how to swim and how to reboard
the craft from the water. The oper-
ator and passenger(s) should be
properly seated and wearing an ap-
proved PFD before starting or mov-
ing the craft. Do not start or operate
the craft if a person(s) is seated on
the sun deck or swim platform, or
are nearby in the water. The craft’s
jet thrust can cause injury. Always
accelerate slowly. To prevent acci-
dental starting, always detach the
safety lanyard from the craft when
swimmers are boarding or nearby,
or during removal of any weeds or
debris from the intake grate.
Riding with a passenger(s) or pulling
other boats, tubes, skies or wake-
boards makes the craft handle differ-
ently and requires greater skill. 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 equipment which
may alter your control of the craft.
The craft may be fitted with tow eye-
lets which can be used to attach a ski
rope. However, do not use these
eyelets or the craft’s cleats to tow a
parasail. Severe craft damage may
occur.
Always respect the safety and com-
fort of your passenger(s) and per-
sons being towed on skis, wake-
boards or other water products. The
best advice is to carry an observer,
proceed with only as much speed
as required, and follow the observ-
ers instructions. Unless absolutely
necessary, do not make tight, sharp
turns.
Know the waters in which the craft
is to be operated. Current, tides,
rapids, hidden obstacles, wakes
and waves etc., can affect safe op-
eration. It is not advisable to operate
the craft in rough or inclement
weather.
Wake or wave jumping or riding the
surf line can cause severe injury and
damage the craft. Never attempt to
splash others with your craft. You
may misjudge the ability of the craft
or your own riding skills and strike a
boat or person.
In shallow water, proceed with cau-
tion and at very low speeds.
Grounding or abrupt stops may re-
sult in injury. Debris may also be
picked up and be thrown rearward
by the jet pump onto people or prop-
erty.

Respect no wake zones, the rights
of other water users and the envi-
ronment. As the “skipper” and
owner of a craft you are responsible
for damage to other boats caused
by the wake of your craft. Allow no
one to throw refuse overboard.
Remember, gasoline fumes are in-
flammable and explosive. Always
adhere to the fueling procedure
contained in this Guide and those
given to you by the marina. Always
verify fuel level before use and dur-
ing the ride. Apply the principle of
1/3 fuel to destination, 1/3 back and
1/3 reserve fuel supply. Do not carry
spare fuel or inflammable liquids in
any of the storage or engine com-
partments.
Combustion engine needs air to op-
erate; consequently this craft can
not be totally watertight. Any man-
ouvers such as figure eights etc.,
that cause the upper deck to be un-
der water may cause severe engine
problems due to water ingestion.
Refer to “Special Procedures“ and
Limited Warranty contained in this
guide.
Due to the close proximity of other
racers. It is recommended that an
approved personal watercraft hel-
met be used during racing events.
Read and follow all instructions and
warnings provided with the helmet.
Maintenance
Only perform servicing procedures
which are detailed in this guide. Fur-
ther assistance or information can
be obtained from your dealer. In
many instances proper tools and
training is required for certain ser-
vicing or repair procedures.
Maintain the craft and equipment in
top condition at all times. Adhere to
the prescribed maintenance sched-
ules. An annual inspection of the
craft is always a good recommenda-
tion that should be followed.
Always use spark plug cable
grounding device when removing
spark plugs.
The bilge must be kept clean of oil,
water or other foreign materials.
Do not attempt to lift the craft with-
out special equipment and training.
The engine and the corresponding
components identified in this guide
should not be utilized on product(s)
other than for those they were de-
signed. Maintenance procedures
and specified tightening torque
must be strictly adhered to. Never
attempt repairs unless the appropri-
ate tools are available. These water-
craft are designed with parts dimen-
sioned in both the metric and the
imperial systems. When replacing
fasteners, make sure to use only
those recommended by Bombar-
dier. If required, contact your dealer
for further servicing information.

country to country. WHERE APPLICABLE, THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY

damages, including but not limited to loss of use and transportation costs. Some
country do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential dam-
ages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation
or exclusion may not apply.

or warranty other than those contained in this warranty, and if made, such affirma-
tion, representation or warranty shall not be enforceable against BOMBARDIER
or any other person.
