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 watercraft.

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 watercraft accessories you may require.

Have fun and... Bon Voyage.

Please keep this Guide and Safety Handbook on board. These manuals

should remain with the watercraft at time of resale.

 SAFETY WARNING

General

To fully appreciate the pleasures, en-

joyment and excitement of boating

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 Personal Wa-

tercraft Safety Handbook or Safety

Video, others may be common

sense or obvious… irrespective, we

ask that you please take a few min-

utes of your time to completely read

these safety instructions completely

before you operate your watercraft.

Failure to follow this safety infor-

mation 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

to use the watercraft. Learn the lo-

cal rules of the road. Always carry

the regulatory required safety items

on board.

The performance of this watercraft

may significantly exceed that of oth-

er crafts you have operated. There-

fore, use of this watercraft by a nov-

ice or inexperienced operator, or an

underage or disabled person, is

NOT RECOMMENDED.

Observe and follow all on-product

warning labels.

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 dealer.

Make sure that all users of the wa-

tercraft read and are aware of all

warnings.

Operation

Always perform the daily 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

clothing that provides equivalent

protection), footwear, gloves and

goggles/glasses are recommended.

smo2001-002a.book Page 6 Wednesday, June 7, 2000 3:57 PM

www.SeaDooManuals.net

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. This watercraft has the capa-

bility of turning more sharply than

other crafts, however, unless in an

emergency, do not negotiate sharp,

high speed turns. You and your pas-

senger(s) could be thrown from the

watercraft. It should also be remem-

bered that sun, wind, alcohol or

drugs, may impair your judgment

and reaction time.

While your watercraft has the ca-

pacity of operating at high speeds,

it is strongly recommended that

high speed operation only be ap-

plied when ideal conditions exist

and are permitted. Higher speed op-

eration 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.

Ensure operator all-round visibil-

ity is unrestricted. Always keep a

constant lookout for other water

users or other potential hazards

especially when turning. Make

sure to keep a safe distance from

all other crafts, other waterusers

or other objects.

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 wa-

tercraft from the water. The operator

and passenger(s) should be properly

seated before starting or moving the

watercraft, and at all times when wa-

tercraft is in motion. Do not start or

operate the watercraft if a person(s)

is seated on the sun deck 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 unau-

thorized use, always detach the safe-

ty lanyard from the watercraft espe-

cially when swimmers are boarding

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 become entangled in mov-

ing parts resulting 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.

smo2001-002a.book Page 7 Wednesday, June 7, 2000 3:57 PM

www.SeaDooManuals.net

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 your

control of the watercraft. The water-

craft maybe fitted with tow eyelets

which can be used to attach a ski

rope. However, do not use these

eyelets or the watercraft’s cleats to

tow a parasail. Severe watercraft

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.

Always have an observer while tow-

ing a skier, proceed with only as

much speed as required, and follow

the observers instructions. Unless

absolutely necessary, do not make

tight, sharp turns.

Know the waters in which the wa-

tercraft is to be operated. Current,

tides, rapids, hidden obstacles,

wakes and waves etc., can affect

safe operation. It is not advisable to

operate the watercraft in rough or

inclement weather.

Wake or wave jumping or riding the

surf line can cause severe personal

injury and damage the watercraft.

Never attempt to splash others with

your watercraft. You may misjudge

the ability of the watercraft or your

own riding skills and strike a craft or

person.

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 or equip-

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 con-

tained in this guide and those given

to you by the marina. Always verify

fuel level before use and during 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 compartments.

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 inges-

tion. Refer to SPECIAL PROCE-

DURES 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.
