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.

The illustrations in this document show

the typical construction of the different

assemblies and may not reproduce 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 metric

system with the SAE U.S. equivalent in

parenthesis. Where precise accuracy

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.
