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 safety videocassette provided with the watercraft,

to read this Operator’s Guide, the Safety Handbook 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 watercraft.

We strongly recommend that all watercraft operators 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 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 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 watercraft accessories you may require.

Have fun and... Bon Voyage.

Please keep this guide, the Safety Handbook and the Safety Videocassette on

board at all times. These manuals should remain with the watercraft at time

of resale.

FOREWORD

The Operator’s Guide and Safety Hand-

book have been prepared to acquaint

the owner/operator or passenger with

this personal watercraft and its various

controls, maintenance and safe riding

instructions. Each is indispensable for

the proper use of the product, and

should be kept in a waterproof bag with

the watercraft at all times.

Make sure you read and understand the

content of the Operator’s Guide and

Safety Handbook.

For any questions pertaining to the

warranty and its application, consult

the WARRANTY section in this guide,

and/or an authorized SEA-DOO dealer.

This guide uses the following symbols

to emphasize particular information.

CAUTION: Denotes an instruction

which, if not followed, might damage

the watercraft and/or components.

NOTE: Indicates supplementary infor-

mation needed to fully complete an in-

struction.

Although the mere reading of such in-

formation does not eliminate the haz-

ard, the understanding and application

of the information will promote its cor-

rect use of the watercraft.

The information and components/

system descriptions contained in this

guide are correct at the time of writing.

Bombardier Inc. however, maintains a

policy of continuous improvement of its

products without imposing upon itself

any obligation to install them on prod-

ucts previously manufactured.

Because of its ongoing commitment to

product quality and innovation, Bom-

bardier Inc. reserves the right at any

time to discontinue or change specifica-

tions, designs, features, models or

equipment without incurring obligation.

The illustrations in this document show

the typical construction of the different

assemblies and may not represent the

full detail or exact shape of the parts.

However, they represent parts that

have the same or similar function.

It is understood that this guide may be

translated into another language. In

the event of any discrepancy, the En-

glish version shall prevail.

Specifications are given in the SI met-

ric system with the SAE U.S. equiva-

lent in parenthesis. Where precise accu-

racy is not required, some conversions

are rounded off for easier use.

A Shop Manual can be obtained for

complete service, maintenance and

more repair information.

WARNING

Identifies an instruction which, if

not followed, may cause serious

personal injuries including the

possibility of death.

SAFETY MEASURES

General

To fully appreciate the pleasures,

enjoyment and excitement of boat-

ing there are some basic rules that

should be observed and followed by

any rider. Some rules may be new

to you or covered in the Sea-Doo

Safety Handbook or Safety Video-

cassette, others may be common

sense or obvious… irrespective, we

ask that you please take a few min-

utes of your time to read these safe-

ty instructions completely before

you operate your watercraft. Fail-

ure to follow this safety informa-

tion and safe boating rules could

result in injury, including the pos-

sibility of death to you, your pas-

senger(s), or other water users.

Bombardier recommends not to op-

erate under 16.

Become completely familiar with the

controls and operation of the water-

craft before embarking on your first

trip or taking on a passenger(s). If you

have not had the opportunity to do so

with your authorized Sea-Doo dealer,

practice driving solo in a suitable area

and feel the response of each con-

trol. Be fully familiar with all controls

before applying throttle above idle

speed. As its operator, you control

and are responsible for the water-

craft’s safe operation.

Always carry the regulatory required

safety items on board. Check the lo-

cal regulations or consult your au-

thorized Sea-Doo dealer.

Make sure that all users of the wa-

tercraft read and understand all on-

product warnings.

Operation

Always perform the pre-operation

checks as specified in this guide.

Operator and passenger(s) should at

all times wear a coast guard approved

personal flotation device (PFD) that is

suitable for personal watercraft.

Operator and passenger(s) should

wear protective clothing. Severe in-

ternal injuries can occur if water is

forced into body cavities as a result

of falling into water or being near jet

thrust nozzle. Wet suit bottom (or

thick, tightly woven, snug fitting cloth-

ing that provides equivalent protec-

tion. Thin bike shorts for example

would not be appropriate), footwear,

gloves and goggles/glasses are rec-

ommended.

Always keep in mind that as the

throttle lever is released to idle posi-

tion, less directional control is avail-

able. To turn the watercraft, both

steering and throttle are neces-

sary.

Like any other craft, this watercraft

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 watercraft un-

der varying conditions. Do not re-

lease throttle when trying to steer

away from objects. You need throttle

to steer. Do not use the watercraft’s

reverse, if so equipped, to stop.

Ensure that all passengers know

how to swim and how to reboard

the watercraft from the water.

The operator and passenger(s)

should be properly seated before

starting or moving the watercraft,

and at all times when watercraft is

in motion.

smo2001-003a.book Page 6 Wednesday, August 30, 2000 1:25 PM

www.SeaDooManuals.net

Do not start or operate the water-

craft if a person(s) is seated on the

sun deck (if so equipped) or swim

platform, or are nearby in the water.

The watercraft’s jet thrust can cause

injury. Always accelerate slowly.

To prevent accidental starting or un-

authorized use, always detach the

safety lanyard from the watercraft es-

pecially when swimmers are board-

ing or nearby, or during removal of

any weeds or debris from the intake

grate.

Keep away from intake grate while

engine 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.

Ride within your limits and avoid ag-

gressive maneuvers to reduce the

risk of loss of control, ejection and

collision.

Riding with a passenger(s) or pulling

other crafts, tubes, skies or wake-

boards makes the watercraft handle

differently and requires greater skill.

Do not overload the watercraft or

take on more passengers than des-

ignated for the particular watercraft.

Overloading can affect maneuver-

ability, stability and performance.

Avoid adding on accessories, or

equipment which may alter the

configuration, balance or control of

the watercraft. The watercraft may-

be fitted with tow eyelets which can

be used to attach a ski rope. Howev-

er, do not use these eyelets or the

watercraft’s cleats to tow a parasail.

Severe injury or watercraft damage

may occur.

In shallow water, proceed with cau-

tion and at very low speeds. Ground-

ing or abrupt stops may result in in-

jury. Debris may also be picked up

and be thrown rearward by the jet

pump onto people or property.

Respect no wake zones, the rights

of other water users and the environ-

ment. As the “skipper”and owner

of a watercraft you are responsible

for damage to other crafts caused by

the wake of your watercraft. Allow

no one to throw refuse overboard.

Remember that a watercraft is not

designed for night time operation.

Avoid adding on accessories orequip-

ment which may alter the craft’s con-

figuration or balance.

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 watercraft

can not be totally watertight. Any

maneuvers such as figure eights

etc., that cause the upper deck to be

under water may cause severe en-

gine 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.

Never ride after consuming drugs or

alcohol. Operate your watercraft

prudently and have fun. Don’t for-

get that all persons must assist oth-

er boaters in an emergency.

smo2001-003a.book Page 7 Wednesday, August 30, 2000 1:25 PM

www.SeaDooManuals.net

Maintenance

Only perform servicing procedures

which are detailed in this guide. Fur-

ther assistance or information can

be obtained from your authorized

Sea-Doo dealer. In many instances

proper tools and training is required

for certain servicing or repair proce-

dures.

Maintain the watercraft and equip-

ment in top condition at all times. Ad-

here to the prescribed maintenance

schedules. An annual inspection of

the watercraft is always a good rec-

ommendation that should be fol-

lowed.

Always use spark plug cable ground-

ing device when removing spark

plugs.

The bilge should be kept clean of oil,

water or other foreign materials.

Do not attempt to lift the watercraft

without special equipment and train-

ing.

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 should be

strictly adhered to. Never attempt re-

pairs unless the appropriate tools are

available. These watercrafts are de-

signed with parts dimensioned in

both the metric and the imperial

systems. When replacing fasten-

ers, make sure to use only those

recommended by Bombardier. If re-

quired, contact your authorized Sea-

Doo dealer for further servicing infor-

mation.
