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 boat, to read
this Operator’s Guide and on-product warning/caution labels and familiarize your-
self with the contents. This guide contains pertinent information which, if fol-
lowed, 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 boat 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
boat with care.
We encourage you to have an Annual Safety Inspection of your boat. Please con-
tact your authorized Sea-Doo sport boat dealer for further details.
Finally, we invite you to visit your authorized Sea-Doo sport boat 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 guide should remain with the boat at
time of resale.

FOREWORD
This Operator’s Guide has been pre-
pared to acquaint the owner/operator
or passenger of this boat with the var-
ious 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 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 this Operator’s Guide,
please note the hazard warnings
which alert you to safety precautions
related to unsafe conditions or operat-
ing procedures.
This guide uses the following symbols
to emphasize particular information.

The safety alert symbol is recognized
around the world. In this guide, it
means read this information carefully!
Be sure you understand the conse-
quences of a hazard and how to avoid
them. Failure to follow the recommen-
dations in a hazard communication
statement may result in property dam-
age, personal injury, or death.
People often refer to a hazard state-
ment as a warning in a general sense.
This guide 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 boat.
The warnings in this guide do not and
cannot address every conceivable sit-
uation. 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.

Advisory Statements
Advisory statements alert you to con-
ditions that affect equipment opera-
tion, maintenance, and servicing prac-
tices.
An IMPORTANT statement indicates a
procedure intended to prevent dam-
age to equipment or associated com-
ponents.
The information and components/
system descriptions contained in this
guide are correct at the time of publica-
tion. Bombardier Recreational Prod-
ucts (BRP) however, maintains a policy
of continuous improvement of its prod-
ucts without imposing upon itself any
obligation to install them on products
previously manufactured.
Because of our ongoing commitment
to product quality and innovation,
BRP reserves the right at any time to
discontinue or change specifications,
designs, features, models or equip-
ment without incurring obligation.

translated into another language. In
the event of any discrepancy, the En-
glish version shall prevail.

system with the SAE U.S. equivalent in
parenthesis. Where precise accuracy
is not required, some conversions are
rounded off for easier use.
