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 under-

stand the controls and operation of the watercraft and the importance of courte-

ous, 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.

FOREWORD

The

Operator’s Guide

and

Safety

Handbook

have been prepared to ac-

quaint the owner/operator or passen-

ger with this personal watercraft and

its various controls, maintenance and

safe riding instructions. Each is indis-

pensable for the proper use of the

product, and should be kept in a wa-

terproof bag with the watercraft at all

times.

For any questions pertaining to the

warranty and its application, consult

the WARRANTY section in this Guide,

or an authorized SEA-DOO dealer.

This Guide uses the following sym-

bols to emphasize particular informa-

tion.

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.

The information and components/sys-

tem descriptions contained in this

Guide are correct at the time of publi-

cation. Bombardier Inc. however,

maintains a policy of continuous im-

provement of its products without im-

posing upon itself any obligation to in-

stall them on products previously

manufactured.

Bombardier Inc. reserves the right at

any time to discontinue or change

specifications, designs, features,

models or equipment without incur-

ring obligation.

The illustrations show the typical con-

struction of the different assemblies

and may not represent the full detail or

exact shape of the parts which have

the same or a similar function.

Specifications are given in the SI met-

ric system with the SAE U.S. equiva-

lent in parenthesis. Where precise ac-

curacy is not required, some conver-

sions are rounded off for easier use.

can be obtained for

complete service, maintenance and

more repair information.

◆WARNING

Identifies an instruction which, if

not followed, might cause seri-

ous personal injuries including

the possibility of death.

-CAUTION

Denotes an instruction which, if

not followed, might damage the

watercraft and/or components.

◆ SAFETY WARNING

To fully appreciate the pleasures, en-

joyment and excitement of boating

there are some basic rules that MUST

be observed and followed by any boat-

er. Some rules may be new to you

while others may be common sense

or obvious, irrespective, we ask that

you please take a few minutes of your

time to read these safety instructions

completely before you operate your

craft. Failure to follow this safety in-

formation 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 ob-

tain further boating information from

the local Coast Guard or Power Squad-

ron. We further recommend you take

a boating safety course. Check local

and federal boating laws applicable to

the waterways where you intend to

use the craft. Learn the local rules of

the road.

Become completely familiar with the

controls and operation of the craft be-

fore taking on a passenger(s) or em-

barking on a trip. If you have not had

the opportunity to do so with your

dealer, practice driving solo in a suit-

able area and feel the response of

each control. Be fully familiar with all

controls before fully advancing the

throttle.

The performance of this craft may sig-

nificantly exceed that of other craft

you may have operated. Therefore,

use of this craft by a novice or inexpe-

rienced operator is not recommended.

Observe and follow all on-product

warning labels and the content of this

Guide.

Always use spark plug cable ground-

ing device when removing spark

plugs.

Operator and passenger(s) should

wear suitable body protection, as well

as deck shoes or booties. Long hair or

loose clothes should be securely at-

tached to prevent snagging in the wa-

ter intake.

Coast Guard approved personal flota-

tion devices (PFD) must be worn

when riding the watercraft.

Operation of this craft by a minor or

disabled person is NOT recommend-

ed.

Do not operate the craft after consum-

ing alcohol or drugs.

Always perform the pre-operation

checks as specified in this Guide. This

includes:

– Attaching the safety lanyard.

– Verification of throttle lever and

steering movement.

– Verification of start/stop button op-

eration.

– Oil and fuel levels.

– Adequate water depth.

– Required boating equipment. (Know

how to use each).

The operator and passenger(s) must

be properly seated before starting or

moving the craft.

Wave or wake jumping can be danger-

ous and in many regions illegal.

Most boating accidents result from

the failure of the operator to keep a

lookout for other water users or other

potential hazards. Keep a safe dis-

tance from other boats. Do not at-

tempt to splash others with your

wake. Do not ride on the surf line.

To prevent accidental starting or unau-

thorized use, always detach the safety

lanyard from the boat, especially dur-

ing maintenance, cleaning of the in-

take grate, or when swimmers are

nearby.

Smo9901b.fm Page 6 Friday, September 4, 1998 10:45 AM

www.SeaDooManuals.net

Ensure that all passengers know how

to reboard the craft from the water.

Always have an observer while towing

a skier.

Know the waters in which the craft is

to be operated. Current, tides, rapids,

shallow water, hidden obstacles etc.,

can affect safe operation.

When boating, apply the principle of

1/3 fuel to destination, 1/3 back and

1/3 reserve fuel supply.

Maintain the craft and equipment in

top condition at all times. Adhere to

the prescribed maintenance sched-

ules.

The bilge must be kept clean of oil,

water or other foreign materials. Do

not carry spare fuel and inflammable

liquids in any of the storage or engine

compartments.

Avoid adding on accessories, or equip-

ment which may alter the craft's con-

figuration or balance.

Only perform servicing procedures

which are detailed in this Guide. Fur-

ther assistance or information can be

obtained from your dealer. In many in-

stances proper tools and training is re-

quired for certain servicing or repair

procedures.

Gasoline fumes are inflammable and

explosive. Always adhere to the fuel-

ing procedure contained in this Guide

and those given to you by the marina.

Always keep in mind that as the

throttle lever is released to idle po-

sition, less directional control is

available. To turn the craft, both

steering 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.

Like any other boat, this craft has no

brake. Stopping distance will vary de-

pending on initial speed, load, wind,

and water conditions. Practice stop-

ping and docking in a safe area to have

an idea of how long it will take to stop

the craft under varying conditions.

Prolonged exposure to the sun, wind,

etc., causes fatigue and may affect

your reaction time.

Do not overload the craft or take on

more passengers than designated for

the intended type of boating. Load and

altitude will also affect craft perfor-

mance.

Riding with a passenger(s) makes the

craft handle differently and requires

greater skill.

Proceed with caution and at very low

speeds in shallow water. Grounding or

abrupt stops may result, or debris may

be picked up and be jettisoned rear-

ward to people or property.

As the “skipper” of a boat you are re-

sponsible for damage to other boats

caused by the wake of your craft. Re-

spect no wake zones.

Respect the rights of other water us-

ers and the environment. Allow no

one to throw refuse overboard.

Do not operate the craft in inclement

weather.

This watercraft is not designed for

night-time operation.

Lifting the craft requires special equip-

ment and experience. Do not attempt

to lift the craft without such experi-

ence or equipment.

Respect the safety and comfort of

your passenger(s) and persons being

towed on skis or other water toys.

Always carry the regulatory required

safety items on board. Check with lo-

cal regulations or your dealer.

Smo9901b.fm Page 7 Friday, September 4, 1998 10:45 AM

www.SeaDooManuals.net

Due to the close proximity of other

racers, it is recommended that an ap-

proved personal watercraft helmet be

used during racing events. Read and

follow all instructions and warnings

provided with the helmet.

The engine and the corresponding

components identified in this guide

should not be utilized on product(s)

other than those they were designed

for. Maintenance procedures and

specified tightening torques must be

strictly adhered to. Never attempt re-

pairs unless the appropriate tools are

available. These watercraft are de-

signed with parts dimensioned in both

the metric and the imperial systems.

When replacing fasteners, make sure

to use only those recommended by

Bombardier.

The forces generated on the body of

watercraft riders while turning, ne-

gociating waves, choppy waters,

wakes or falling off the watercraft

may cause injury including the pos-

sibility of broken legs and bones.

Remain flexible and avoid sharp

turns.

Ride prudently and have fun.

-CAUTION

This vehicle is not designed for

underwater operation. Combus-

tion engine needs air to operate;

consequently this vehicle can not

be totally watertight. Any man-

ouvers that keep the upper deck

under water may cause severe

engine problems due to water in-

gestion. Refer to the Limited War-

ranty further in this guide.
