� SAFETY MEASURES
General� To fully appreciate the pleasures,
enjoyment and excitement of boat-ing there are some basic rules thatshould be observed and followed byany rider. Some rules may be newto you or covered in the Sea-DooSafety Handbook or Safety Video-cassette, others may be commonsense or obvious… irrespective, weask that you please take a few min-utes of your time to read these safe-ty instructions completely togetherwith your Safety Handbook beforeyou operate your watercraft. Fail-ure to follow this safety informa-tion and safe boating rules couldresult in injury, including the pos-sibility of death to you, your pas-senger(s), or other water users.
� Bombardier recommends not to op-erate a watercraft under the age of16.
� Become completely familiar with thecontrols and operation of the water-craft before embarking on your firsttrip or taking on a passenger(s). If youhave not had the opportunity to do sowith your authorized Sea-Doo dealer,practice driving solo in a suitable areaand feel the response of each con-trol. Be fully familiar with all controlsbefore applying throttle above idlespeed. As its operator, you controland are responsible for the water-craft’s safe operation.
� Always carry the regulatory requiredsafety 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 approvedpersonal flotation device (PFD) that issuitable for personal watercraft.
� Operator and passenger(s) shouldwear protective clothing. Severe in-ternal injuries can occur if water isforced into body cavities of males orfemales as a result of falling into wa-ter or being near jet thrust nozzle.Wet suit bottom (or thick, tightly wo-ven, snug fitting clothing that pro-vides equivalent protection. Thin bikeshorts for example would not beappropriate), footwear, gloves andgoggles/glasses are recommended.
� Always keep in mind that as thethrottle lever is released to idle posi-tion, less directional control is avail-able. To turn the watercraft, bothsteering and throttle are neces-sary.
� Like any other craft, this watercrafthas no brake. Stopping distance willvary depending on initial speed, load,wind, and water conditions. Practicestopping and docking in a safe, trafficfree area to have an idea of how longit will take to stop the watercraft un-der varying conditions. Do not re-lease throttle when trying to steeraway from objects. You need throttleto steer. Do not use the watercraft’sreverse, if so equipped, to stop.
� Ensure that all passengers knowhow to swim and how to reboardthe watercraft from the water.
� The operator and passenger(s) shouldbe properly seated before startingor moving the watercraft, and at alltimes when watercraft is in motion.

� Do not start or operate the water-craft if someone is seated on the sundeck (if so equipped) or swim plat-form, or is nearby in the water. Thewatercraft’s jet thrust can cause in-jury. Always accelerate slowly.
� To prevent accidental starting or un-authorized use, always detach thesafety lanyard from the watercraft es-pecially when swimmers are board-ing or nearby, or during removal ofany weeds or debris from the intakegrate.
� Never turn handlebar while someoneis nearby rear of watercraft. Keepaway from steering moving parts(nozzle, side vanes, linkage, etc.).
� Keep away from intake grate whileengine 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 therisk of loss of control, ejection andcollision.
� Riding with a passenger(s) or pullingother crafts, tubes, skies or wake-boards makes the watercraft handledifferently and requires greater skill.Do not overload the watercraft ortake on more passengers than des-ignated for the particular watercraft.Overloading can affect maneuver-ability, stability and performance.
� Avoid adding on accessories, orequipment which may alter the con-figuration, balance or control of thewatercraft. The watercraft maybefitted with tow eyelets which can beused to attach a ski rope. However,do not use these eyelets or the wa-tercraft’s cleats to tow a parasail. Se-vere injury or watercraft damagemay 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 upand be thrown rearward by the jetpump onto people or property.
� Respect no wake zones, the rightsof other water users and the environ-ment. As the “skipper” and ownerof a watercraft you are responsiblefor damage to other crafts caused bythe wake of your watercraft. Allowno one to throw refuse overboard.
� Remember that a watercraft is notdesigned for night time operation.
� Remember, gasoline fumes areflammable and explosive. Alwaysadhere to the fueling procedurecontained in this guide and thosegiven to you by the marina. Alwaysverify fuel level before use and dur-ing the ride. Apply the principle of1/3 fuel to destination, 1/3 back and1/3 reserve fuel supply. Do not carryspare fuel or flammable liquids inany of the storage or engine com-partments.
� Combustion engine needs air to op-erate; consequently this watercraftcan not be totally watertight. Anymaneuvers such as figure eightsetc., that cause the upper deck to beunder water may cause severe en-gine problems due to water ingestion.Refer to SPECIAL PROCEDURES andLIMITED WARRANTY contained inthis guide.
� Due to the close proximity of otherracers, it is recommended that anapproved personal watercraft hel-met be used during racing events.Read and follow all instructions andwarnings provided with the helmet.
� Never ride after consuming drugs oralcohol or if you feel tired or ill. Op-erate your watercraft prudently andhave fun.
� Don’t forget that all persons mustassist other boaters in an emergency.

CONTROLS, COMPONENTS AND INSTRUMENTS FUNCTIONS
1) Safety Lanyard(engine cut-off cord)
The safety lanyard cap should be se-curely snapped onto its post to be fullyoperational.Pulling the safety lanyard cap from itspost stops the engine operation.
Attach the safety lanyard to the opera-tor’s Personal Flotation Device (PFD)and snap the cap to the post to be ableto start the engine.Two short beeps indicates the systemis ready to allow engine starting. Oth-erwise, refer to the TROUBLESHOOT-ING section for the coded signals chart.
1. Safety lanyard cap on the post2. Safety lanyard secured on operator’s PFD
If engine is not started within 5 sec-onds after installing the safety lanyardon its post, 4 very short beeps every 3second interval will sound for approxi-mately 4 hours to remind you to startthe engine or to remove safety lan-yard. Afterwards, the beeps will stop.The same will occur when safety lan-yard is left on its post 5 seconds afterengine is stopped. Always ensure safety lanyard is notleft on its post after engine is stopped.IMPORTANT: Leaving the safety lan-yard on its post when engine is notrunning will slowly discharge the bat-tery.
Digitally Encoded Security System (DESS)The safety lanyard cap specifically con-tains an electronic circuit that gives ita unique electronic serial number. Thisis the equivalent of a conventional key.This safety lanyard cannot be used onanother watercraft and conversely, theone from another watercraft cannot beused on your watercraft. However, the DESS brings a great flex-ibility. You can buy an additional safetylanyard and have it programmed foryour watercraft. To have additional safety lanyard, referto an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
� WARNING
While engine can be stopped us-ing the engine start/stop button,good habits recommend that thesafety lanyard also be disconnect-ed when stopping.
������ �
� WARNING
Should the engine be stopped, wa-tercraft directional control is re-duced. Always disconnect safetylanyard when watercraft is not inoperation in order to prevent acci-dental engine starting or to avoidunauthorized use by children orothers or theft.

Water Flow in Exhaust Manifold (only when temperature is below or close to freezing point)In Northern areas, if watercraft is to beused when temperature is below orclose to freezing point (0°C (32°F)) or ifwatercraft was left unused while tem-perature was below or close to freez-ing point, water may be frozen in thesupply hose going to the exhaust man-ifold. This could cause exhaust coolingsystem overheating. To ensure it isproperly working, do the following pri-or to using thoe watercraft:– The procedure is to be performed
with watercraft out of water.– Connect a garden hose to the flush-
ing connector at jet pump.– Perform the flushing operation as ex-
plained in POST-OPERATION CARE.– Ensure water flows out of jet pump.
Otherwise, water is frozen in supplyhose and restricts water flow. Donot operate the watercraft in thiscondition.
NOTE: Pay attention that some waterwill also flow out of exhaust outlet.Make sure water is effectively flowingout of jet pump.CAUTION: Operating watercraft withfrozen water in supply hose mightlead to engine components damage.NOTE: When water freezes, no dam-age to engine components will occuras water expands but it may causedamage by preventing full flow of cool-ing water.– Either wait until ice melt or pour some
hot water on supply hose going to ex-haust manifold. Then, perform theflushing operation again to make surewater properly flows out of jet pump.If you need asssitance, refer to an au-thorized Sea-Doo dealer.
– Ensure to drain bilge if water is present.
� WARNING
Do not use any electrical heatingdevice to heat the hose. Electricaldevices may generate sparks thatwould ignite fuel vapors that mightbe present in the bilge causing afire or an explosion.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Principle of OperationPropulsionThe engine is directly coupled to adrive shaft which, in turn, rotates animpeller. This impeller is accurately ad-justed in a housing where the water isdrawn up from underneath the water-craft. Then the water flows throughthe impeller to a venturi. The venturiaccelerates the water and producesthrust to move the watercraft. De-pressing the throttle lever increasesengine speed and therefore watercraftspeed.
TYPICAL
The shift lever should be in the forwardposition in order for the watercraft to ad-vance.
Neutral and Reverse
To find the neutral, set in reverse thenpush back until the watercraft stopsmoving backwards.The reverse gate will be in the middleposition, directing half of the thrust to-ward the front of the watercraft to min-imize watercraft movement.
� WARNING
Always perform the PRE-OPERATIONCHECKS before operating the water-craft. Become thoroughly familiarwith all controls and the function ofeach. Should any control or instruc-tion not be fully understood, refer toan authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
� WARNING
Whenever the engine is to be start-ed, the operator and passenger(s)should always be properly sittingon the watercraft and be wearingprotective clothing including a CoastGuard approved PFD and a wet suitbottom.
��1���
� WARNING
Keep away from intake grate whileengine is on. Items such as longhair, loose clothing or personal flo-tation device straps can becomeentangled in moving parts result-ing in severe injury or drowning.
� WARNING
Never use jet pump components asa supporting point to board the wa-tercraft. Shift lever should only beused when the engine is idling andwatercraft is completely stopped.Never rev the engine at high RPMin reverse. Do not use reverse tostop the watercraft. Only use re-verse at slow speed and for theshortest time possible. Always en-sure the path behind is clear of ob-jects and persons including chil-dren playing in shallow water.
� WARNING
When the watercraft is in neutralposition, the drive shaft and impel-ler are still turning.

To obtain reverse, pull shift lever com-pletely. The reverse gate will be in down-ward position, directing all the thrust to-ward the front of the watercraft.
1. Shift lever in reverse position
1. Reverse gate in downward position
NOTE: To obtain maximum efficiencyand control from the reverse, increaseengine speed to slightly above idle.Too much RPM will create water tur-bulence and reduce reverse efficiency.In reverse position, turn the handlebarin the same direction that you want tomove the rear of the watercraft.For example, to steer the rear of the wa-tercraft to the left side, turn the handle-bar to the left side.

Steering
Turning the handlebar pivots the jetpump nozzle which controls the water-craft direction. Turning the handlebar tothe right will turn the watercraft to theright and inversely. The throttle shouldbe applied to turn the watercraft.
Unlike a car, a watercraft needs somethrottle to turn. Practice in a safe areaapplying the throttle and turning awayfrom an imaginary object. This is agood collision avoidance technique.
The watercraft behaves differently witha passenger and requires greater skill.The passenger should always grip theseat strap or grab handle. Reducespeed and avoid sharp turns. Avoidchoppy water conditions when carryinga passenger.
Off-Power Assisted Steering System (O.P.A.S.)The Off-Power Assisted Steering (O.P.A.S.)system uses a dual side vanes designthat assists the watercraft steering in de-celeration, to redirect watercraft pathwhen steering is turned after throttle hasbeen released or engine stopped.The side vanes on the rear sides of thehull, turn as the steering is turned toassist the watercraft turning. At first,carefully experiment turning with thissystem.
1. Side vanes turn following steering movement
When engine is running at approximate-ly 75% or more RPM, the side vanes areautomatically raised to upper positionsince they are not required at that vehi-cle speed range.Between 30% and 75% engine RPM,side vanes are gradually raised fromlower position to upper position.
� WARNING
Shift lever should only be used whenthe engine is idling and watercraft iscompletely stopped. Do not use re-verse to stop the watercraft.
� WARNING
Throttle should be applied andhandlebar turned to change the di-rection of the watercraft. Steeringefficiency will differ depending onthe number of passengers, load,water conditions and environmen-tal factors such as the wind.
� WARNING
Directional control is reduced whenthe throttle is released and/or whenengine is off.

Boarding the WatercraftGeneralAs with any watercraft, boarding shouldbe done carefully and engine should notbe running.
Boarding is facilitated by using a step.
Boarding from a Dock or in Shallow WaterWhen boarding from a dock, slowlyplace one foot on the watercraft foot-board nearest the dock and, at thesame time, transfer the body weight tothe other side in order to balance thewatercraft while holding the handlebar.Then, bring the other foot over the seatand put it on the other footboard. Pushthe watercraft away from the dock.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES
Monitoring SystemTo assist you when using the water-craft, a system monitors the electroniccomponents of the EMS (engine man-agement system) and other compo-nents of the electrical system. When afault occurs, it sends visual messagesthrough the information center and/oraudible signals through a beeper to in-form you of a particular condition. Re-fer to the INFORMATION CENTER forthe displayed messages and the TROU-BLESHOOTING section for the beepercoded signals chart.When minor faults occur, the fault andmessage/beeper will disappear auto-matically if the condition does not existanymore.Releasing throttle and letting the en-gine returning at idle speed may allownormal operation to come back. If itdoes not work, try removing and rein-stalling the safety lanyard on its post.The electronic system will react differ-ently depending on the fault type. Insevere failure, the engine might not beallowed to be started. In other cases,the engine will operate in limp homemode. See below.When a fault occurs, see an authorizedSea-Doo dealer as soon as possible forinspection.
Limp Home ModesBesides the signals as seen above, theEMS may automatically set default pa-rameters to ensure the adequate oper-ation of the watercraft if an electroniccomponent is not operating properly. Depending on the severity of the mal-function, the watercraft speed may bereduced and not allowed to reach itstop speed as usual.
In this mode, it may be necessary todepress the throttle quite slowly to al-low engine RPM to increase and oper-ate the watercraft to go back home.These performance-reduced modesallow the rider to go back home whichwould not be possible without this ad-vanced system.
Engine OverheatingCAUTION: If the monitoring beepercontinuously sounds, stop engine assoon as possible.Check coolant level. Refer to LIQUIDS.If engine still overheats, continue thefollowing procedure.Perform JET PUMP WATER INTAKEAND IMPELLER CLEANING proceduredescribed in this section.When back to shore, flush exhaust cool-ing system, refer to POST-OPERATIONCARE.If engine still overheats, refer to an au-thorized Sea-Doo dealer for servicing.
Engine Low Oil PressureCAUTION: If the monitoring beepercontinuously sounds, stop engine assoon as possible.Turn off engine as soon as possible.Check oil level and refill.Restart the engine. If this does not cor-rect the situation, do not run the en-gine further. Refer to an authorizedSea-Doo dealer for servicing.CAUTION: Running engine with lowoil pressure may severely damagethe engine.

Jet Pump Water Intake and Impeller Cleaning
Weeds, shells or debris can get caughton the intake grate, drive shaft and/orimpeller. A clogged water intake maycause troubles such as:1. Cavitation: Engine speed is high but
watercraft moves slowly due to re-duced jet thrust, jet pump compo-nents may be damaged.
2. Overheating: Since the jet pumpoperation controls the flow of waterto cool the exhaust system, aclogged intake will cause the en-gine to overheat and damage en-gine internal components.
A weed clogged area can be cleanedas follows:
In-Water CleaningRock the watercraft several times whilerepeatedly pressing engine start/stopbutton for short period without startingengine. Most of the time, this will re-move the blockage. Start engine andmake sure watercraft operates properly.If system is still blocked, move the wa-tercraft out of the water and removeblockage manually.If the aforementioned method does notwork, the following can be performed:– With engine running and before ap-
plying throttle, put shift lever in re-verse position and vary throttle quick-ly several times.
– Repeat procedure if necessary.
On-Beach Water Cleaning
Place a cardboard or a carpet beside thewatercraft to prevent scratching whenturning the watercraft for cleaning.Rotate the watercraft to any side forcleaning.
Clean the water intake area. If the sys-tem is still clogged, refer to an autho-rized Sea-Doo dealer for servicing.CAUTION: Inspect water intake gratefor damage. Refer to an authorizedSea-Doo dealer for repair as neces-sary.
Capsized WatercraftThe watercraft is designed so that itshould not turn over easily. Also twosponsons mounted on the side of thehull assist watercraft stability. If it turnsover, it will remain capsized.
� WARNING
Keep away from intake grate whileengine is on. Items such as longhair, loose clothing or personal flo-tation device straps can becomeentangled in moving parts result-ing in severe injury or drowning.
� WARNING
Always remove safety lanyard capfrom its post to prevent accidentalengine starting before cleaning thejet pump area.

To return the watercraft upright, en-sure the engine is off and the safetylanyard is NOT on its post then grabthe inlet grate, step on bumper rail anduse your weight to rotate the water-craft in any direction.The 4-TEC engine features a tip-overprotection system (T.O.P.S.™). Whenwatercraft tips over, engine is auto-matically stopped, then a valve isclosed to prevent engine oil to flowback in intake system. When watercraft is returned to its nor-mal operating position, engine canthen be started normally.CAUTION: If watercraft has been cap-sized for more than 5 minutes, do notattempt to crank engine to avoid wa-ter ingestion that would damage theengine. See an authorized Sea-Doodealer as soon as possible.CAUTION: If engine does not crank,do not attempt to start engine any-more. Otherwise engine could bedamaged. See an authorized Sea-Doodealer as soon as possible.As soon as possible, check for pres-ence of water in the bilge. Drain asnecessary when back to the shore.
Submerged WatercraftTo limit damages to the engine, per-form the following procedure as soonas possible.Drain bilge.If it was submerged in salt water, spraybilge and all components with fresh wa-ter using a garden hose to stop the saltcorroding effect.
CAUTION: Never try to crank or startthe engine. Water trapped in intakemanifold would flow towards theengine and may cause severe dam-age to the engine.Bring the watercraft to be serviced byan authorized Sea-Doo dealer as soonas possible.CAUTION: The longer the delay be-fore you have the engine serviced,the greater the damage will be to theengine.
Water-Flooded EngineCAUTION: Never try to crank or startthe engine. Water trapped in intakemanifold would flow towards theengine and may cause severe dam-age to the engine.Bring the watercraft to be serviced byan authorized Sea-Doo dealer as soon aspossible.CAUTION: The longer the delay be-fore you have the engine serviced,the greater the damage will be to theengine. Failure to have the engineproperly serviced may cause severeengine damage.
Fuel-Flooded EngineWhen the engine does not start afterseveral attempts, the engine may befuel-flooded. Proceed as follows.To prevent fuel to be injected and alsoto cut the ignition at the engine crank-ing, proceed as follows.While engine is stopped, fully depressthrottle lever and HOLD for cranking.Crank engine several times.If it does not work:
Pull engine cover upward to remove it.
� WARNING

Disconnect ignition coil connectors.
Remove ignition coils.CAUTION: Ensure there is no dirt incoil holes prior to removing the sparkplugs. Otherwise, dirt would fall intocylinder and will damage the internalcomponents.Remove spark plugs.NOTE: After untightening the sparkplugs, a coil may be used to pull thespark plugs out. Simply bring the coildown to spark plug and “hook” it tothen extract spark plug.Install new spark plugs if available or dryspark plugs using a rag.Cover spark plug holes with a rag.Crank engine several times whilekeeping throttle fully depressed. Reinstall spark plugs and ignition coils.Install clean dry spark plugs if possible.Reconnect ignition coil connector.NOTE: Prior to inserting the ignition coil toits location, apply some Molykote 111grease (P/N 413 707 000) around the sealarea that touches the spark plug hole. Af-ter installation, ensure the seal seats prop-erly with the engine top surface.To reinstall engine cover, push it down-ward until it snaps.Start engine as explained above. If en-gine continues to flood, see an autho-rized Sea-Doo dealer.
CAUTION: Never run engine withoutsupplying water to the exhaust cool-ing system when watercraft is out ofwater.
Towing the Watercraft in WaterSpecial precautions should be takenwhen towing a SEA-DOO watercraft inwater.Maximum recommended towing speedis 24 km/h (15 MPH).When towing your watercraft in water,pinch the water supply hose from theimpeller housing to the exhaust mani-fold with a large hose pincher (P/N 529032 500).
This will prevent the exhaust coolingsystem from filling which may lead towater being injected into and filling theengine. Without the engine runningthere isn’t any exhaust pressure to car-ry the water out the exhaust outlet.CAUTION: Failure to do this may re-sult in damage to the engine. If youmust tow a stranded watercraft inwater and do not have a hose pinch-er, be sure to stay well below themaximum towing speed of 24 km/h(15 MPH).
� WARNING
When disconnecting coil fromspark plug, always disconnect coilfrom main harness first. Nevercheck for engine ignition sparkfrom an open coil and/or sparkplug in the engine compartmentas spark may cause fuel vapor toignite.

Disconnect ignition coil connectors.
IMPORTANT: Never cut the locking tiesof ignition coil connectors. This would al-low mixing the wires between cylinders.Remove ignition coils.CAUTION: Ensure there is no dirt incoil holes prior to removing the sparkplugs. Otherwise, dirt would fall intocylinder and will damage the internalcomponents.Remove spark plugs.NOTE: After untightening the sparkplugs, a coil may be used to pull thespark plugs out. Simply bring the coildown to spark plug and “hook” it tothen extract spark plug.Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricantor equivalent, in spark plug holes.To prevent fuel to be injected and alsoto cut the ignition at the engine crank-ing, proceed as follows.While engine is stopped, fully depressthrottle lever and HOLD for cranking.Crank the engine a few turns to distrib-ute the oil on cylinder wall.Apply anti-seize lubricant on spark plugthreads then reinstall them.NOTE: Prior to inserting the ignition coilto its location, apply some Molykote 111grease (P/N 413 707 000) around theseal area that touches the spark plughole. After installation, ensure the sealseats properly with the engine top sur-face.Reinstall ignition coils. Reconnect igni-tion coil connectors.To reinstall engine cover, push it down-ward until it snaps.
Wipe up any residual water from theengine.Disconnect the garden hose.NOTE: It is recommended to fog theengine valves with BOMBARDIERLUBE lubricant. Contact your autho-rized Sea-Doo dealer.
