SAFETY INFORMATION ________ SAFETY INFORMATION ________ 7
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion and eventually death. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly, and you can quickly be overcome and unable to save yourself.
SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES Reminders Regarding Operation The performance of this watercraft may significantly exceed that of other craft you may have operated. Make sure you read and understand the content of the Operator's Guide to become completely familiar with the controls and operation of the watercraft before embarking on your first trip or taking on a passenger(s). If you have not had the opportunity to do so, practice driving solo in a suitable traffic free area and feel the response of each control.
SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES Do not exceed the payload or passenger capacities for your watercraft, which are listed on the capacity plate and in the specifications. Overloading can affect maneuverability, stability and performance. Also, heavy seas reduce capacity. A payload or person capacity plate is not an excuse for failure to use common sense or good judgment. Regularly inspect the PWC, the hull, engine, safety equipment, and all other boating gear and keep them in safe operating condition.
SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES At least one passenger should be able to operate the watercraft in case the operator is unexpectedly unable to do so. Operation of this PWC by a person under 16 years of age or a person with a disability that impairs vision, reaction time, judgment, or operation of the controls is NOT recommended. Always use the safety lanyard when operating the watercraft and ensure that all passengers are familiar with its use.
SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES Participate in water sports only in safe areas. Stay away from other boats, channels, beaches, restricted areas, swimmers, and heavily traveled waterways and underwater obstructions. Turn off engine and anchor the watercraft before swimming. Swim only in areas designated as safe for swimming. These are usually marked with a swim area buoy. Do not swim alone or at night. F00A2MY DIVER DOWN FLOAT WARNING F00A2LY SWIM AREA BUOY Do not water ski between sunset and sunrise.
SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES FASTER Palm of one hand pointing upward. SLOWER Palm pointing down. SPEED OK Arm upraised with thumb and finger joined to form circle. RIGHT TURN Arm outstretched pointing to the right. LEFT TURN Arm outstretched pointing to the left. RETURN TO DROP-OFF AREA Arm at 45 degree from body pointing down to water and swinging. CUT MOTOR Finger drawn across throat. STOP Hand up, palm forward, policeman style. SKIER OK. AFTER THE FALL Hands clenched together overhead.
SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES Hypothermia Safe Boating Courses Hypothermia, the loss of body heat to the water, is a significant cause of deaths in boating accidents. After an individual has succumbed to hypothermia, he or she will lose consciousness and then drown. PFDs can increase survival time because of the insulation they provide. Naturally, the warmer the water, the less insulation one will require. When operating in cold water (below 4.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT Eye protection Required Safety Equipment Always carry the regulatory safety items and have them conveniently on board available for use. Check the local regulations or consult your authorized Sea-Doo dealer. Such required safety items usually include, without limitation, a sound signaling device such as a whistle, a watertight flashlight or approved flares, a buoyant heaving line, an anchor and rope*, a bailer*, and an appropriate fire extinguisher*.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT PFD Types There are five types of approved PFDs. PFD Type I, Wearable has the greatest required buoyancy. Its design allows for turning most unconscious persons in the water from face down position to a vertical or slightly backward, face-up position. It can greatly increase the chances of survival. Type I is most effective for all waters, especially offshore when rescue may be delayed.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT PFD Type V, Wearable must be worn. When inflated, it provides buoyancy equivalent to Type I, Il or III PFDs. When it is deflated, however, it may not support some people. Helmets Some Important Considerations Helmets are designed to offer some degree of protection in case of impact to the head. In most motorized sports, the benefits of wearing a helmet clearly outweigh the drawbacks.
SAFE BOATING PRACTICES YOU are responsible for your own safety, the safety of your passengers, and the safety of fellow boaters. Ride smart from the start and we all win! Drugs and Alcohol Do not use drugs or drink alcohol while operating a PWC. Like driving a car, driving a watercraft requires sober, attentive care. Operating a watercraft while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs is not only dangerous, but it is also a Federal offense carrying a significant penalty.
SAFE BOATING PRACTICES Operator/Passenger Awareness The watercraft operator has the responsibility to inform passenger(s) of safety measures. Never turn handlebar while someone is nearby rear of watercraft. Keep away from steering moving parts (nozzle, side vanes, linkage, etc.). Do not start or operate the watercraft if anyone is seated on the sun deck, if so equipped, or swim platform, or is nearby in the water. Water and/or debris exiting jet thrust nozzle can cause severe injury.
SAFE BOATING PRACTICES Always carry an observer when pulling a tube, skier or wakeboarder, proceed with only as much speed as required and follow the observer’s instructions. Unless absolutely necessary, do not make tight, sharp turns. Keep a safe distance from the docks, other swimmers, craft or objects. Use a tow rope of sufficient length and size and make sure it is adequately secured to your watercraft.
RULES OF THE ROAD Operating Rules Operating a watercraft can be compared with driving unmarked highways and roads. To prevent collisions or avoid other boaters, a system of operating rules must be followed. It’s not only common sense... it’s the law! Generally keep to your right and safely avoid other craft by keeping a safe distance from other craft, people and objects. Meeting Head-On Keep right. F00A15Y TYPICAL Bow Starboard Port 2 1 Passing Give right of way to other craft and keep clear.
RULES OF THE ROAD Collision Avoidance Do not release throttle when trying to steer away from objects. You need throttle to steer. Always keep a constant lookout for other water users, other boats or objects, especially when turning. Be alert for conditions that may limit your visibility or block your vision of others. Respect the rights of other recreationists and/or bystanders and always keep a safe distance from all other craft, people and objects.
FUELING PROCEDURE Recommended Fuel Use unleaded gasoline with the following octane rating. Open the front storage compartment cover to expose fuel tank cap. MINIMUM OCTANE RATING Inside 87 (RON + MON)/2) (1) North America Outside 92 RON (1) North America (1) On supercharged models, use super unleaded fuel for optimum engine performance. NOTICE Never experiment with other fuels or fuel ratios. Never use fuel containing more than 10% ethanol.
TRAILERING NOTICE To avoid damaging O.P.A.S. side vanes, the maximum trailer wood bunks span including bunk width should not exceed 71 cm (28 in). Ends of both trailer wood bunks should not be more than 2.59 m (102 in) away from watercraft bow attachment point. See following illustration. 1 2 B Check the applicable laws and regulations in your area concerning towing a trailer, especially the following rules: – Brake system – Tow vehicle weight – Mirrors.
TRAILERING WARNING The bungee cords are under tension and could spring back and whip someone when released. Use caution. NOTE: When trailering 2 watercraft, it may be necessary to remove the inner wakeboard rack. WARNING Never tow a watercraft with water remaining in the ballast tanks. The weight of ballasts increases the load on the trailer, the axle, and the tires, which could lead to premature wear or failure.

Rough Water or Poor Visibility Operation Avoid operation in these conditions. If you must do so, proceed with caution and prudence using minimum speed.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Post-Operation Care WARNING Allow engine to cool before performing any maintenance. F18A03Y NOTICE Pay attention, when leaving the watercraft on the beach, so that the side vanes do not rub or hit the ground due to the rocking movement. It might eventually damage components of the O.P.A.S. system. Shutting Off the Engine To keep watercraft directional control, the engine should be running until the watercraft is at idle. To stop engine depress the start/stop button.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Exhaust System Flushing NOTE: Including intercooler on supercharged models. General Flushing the exhaust system and intercooler (supercharged models) with fresh water is essential to neutralize corroding effects of salt or other chemical products present in water. It will help to remove sand, salt, shells or other particles in water jackets and/or hoses.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NOTICE Never run engine longer than 5 minutes. Drive line seal has no cooling when watercraft is out of water. Close the water tap, then stop the engine. NOTICE Always close the water tap before stopping the engine. NOTICE Remove quick connect adapter after flushing operation (if used). Anticorrosion Treatment To prevent corrosion, spray a corrosion inhibitor (salt water resistant) such as XP-S Lube or equivalent over metallic components in engine compartment.
SPECIAL PROCEDURES Jet Pump Water Intake and Impeller Cleaning WARNING Keep away from intake grate while engine is on. Items such as long hair, loose clothing or personal flotation device straps can become entangled in moving parts resulting in severe injury or drowning. Weeds, shells or debris can get caught on the intake grate, drive shaft and/or impeller.
SPECIAL PROCEDURES Capsized Watercraft Submerged Watercraft The watercraft is designed so that it should not turn over easily. Also two sponsons mounted on the side of the hull assist watercraft stability. If it turns over, it will remain capsized. To limit damages to the engine, perform the following procedure as soon as possible. Drain bilge. If it was submerged in salt water, spray bilge and all components with fresh water using a garden hose to stop the salt corroding effect.
SPECIAL PROCEDURES When towing your watercraft in water, pinch the water supply hose from the exhaust manifold to muffler with a large hose pincher (P/N 529 032 500). NOTICE When finished towing the watercraft, hose pincher must be removed before operating it. Failure to do so will result in damage to the engine. F01B23Y This will prevent the exhaust system from filling which may lead to water being injected into and filling the engine.
