Riding with a passenger(s) or pull-
ing other boats, tubes, skier or
wakeboarder makes the craft han-
dle differently and requires greater
skill. Do not overload the craft or
take on more passengers than des-
ignated for the particular craft. Over-
loading 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 eyelets 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.
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 boat you are responsible
for damage to other boats caused
by the wake of your craft. Allow no
one to throw refuse overboard.
This craft is equipped with naviga-
tion lights which should be used be-
tween sunset and sunrise. Reduce
speed and do not operate the craft
in reduced visibility.
Remember, gasoline fumes are
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 maneuvers
such as figure eights etc., that cause
the upper deck to be under water
may cause severe engine problems
due to water ingestion. Refer to SPE-
CIAL PROCEDURES and LIMITED
WARRANTY contained in this guide.
Operation of this craft by a minor or dis-
abled person is NOT recommended.
Maintenance
Only perform servicing procedures
which are detailed in this guide. Fur-
ther assistance or information can
be obtained from your authorized
SEA-DOO sport boat 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.
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 re-
pairs unless the appropriate tools are
available. These craft are designed
with parts dimensioned in both the
metric and the imperial systems.
When replacing fasteners, make sure
to use only those recommended by
Bombardier. If required, contact your
authorized SEA-DOO sport boat deal-
er for further servicing information.
Operate your craft prudently and
have fun. Don’t forget that all per-
sons must assist other boaters in an
emergency.
