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 Safe Operation – The performance of this watercraft may significantly exceed that of other watercrafts you may have operated. Make sure you read and understand the content of this Operators 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).
SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES WARNING Do not release the throttle when trying to steer away from objects without the use of the braking system. Engine power and jet pump thrust is required to steer the watercraft. – The brake feature of the iBR system cannot prevent your PWC from drifting due to current or wind. It has no braking effect on the rearward velocity. Also note that your engine must be running to be able to use the brake. – The personal watercrafts' jet thrust can cause injury.
SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES – Keep the safety lanyard attached to the operators' PFD at all times and keep it free from snagging on the handlebars to help ensure the engine stops should the operator fall off. After riding, remove the D.E.S.S.™ key from its post to avoid unauthorized use by children or others. If the operator falls off the watercraft and the safety lanyard is not attached as recommended, the watercraft engine will not stop. – Ride within your limits and level of riding ability.
SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES – Keep an eye on the weather. Check local weather broadcasts before departure. Be alert to changing conditions. – Keep accurate and up-to-date charts of the boating area on board. Before getting underway, check water conditions in the planned boating area. – Keep enough fuel on board for the planned trip. Always verify fuel level before use and during the ride. Apply the principle of 1/3 of the fuel to reach your destination, 1/3 to return, and keep 1/3 in reserve.
SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES – The operator and passenger(s) should be properly seated and have a firm grip on a handhold before starting the watercraft, and at all times when the watercraft is in motion. All passenger(s) should be instructed to use the handholds provided, or to hold on to the waist of the person in front of them. Each passenger must be able to simultaneously place both feet firmly flat against each footwell when properly seated.
SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES WARNING Alcohol consumption and boating do not mix! Operating under the influence endangers the lives of your passengers, other boaters, and yourself. Federal laws prohibit operating a watercraft under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Water Sports (Towing with the Watercraft) WARNING Avoid personal injury! Your PWC is not designed for and should not be used for pulling another craft, parasails, kites, gliders, or any device which can become airborne.
SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES – Use a tow rope of sufficient length and size and make sure it is adequately secured to your watercraft. While some watercrafts are equipped or can be fitted with a specially designed towing mechanism, avoid installing a tow pole on a PWC. It can become a hazard should someone fall on it. – Give immediate attention to a person who has fallen. He or she is vulnerable in the water alone and may not be seen by other boaters.
SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES Hypothermia Safe Boating Courses Hypothermia, the loss of body heat resulting in a subnormal body temperature, is a significant cause of death 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.
ACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES (iCONTROL) Introduction NOTE: Some functions or features described in this section may not apply to every PWC model, or may be available as an option. iControlTM (intelligent Control systems) provides an environment whereby the operator can control many systems without taking his hands off the handlebars. All controls are at the operator's finger tips and activated by pressing a button or pulling a lever.
ACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES (iCONTROL) Slow Speed Mode Slow speed mode is a function of cruise control which allows the operator to adjust and set idle speed corresponding to a watercraft speed of 1.6 km/h to 8 km/h (1 MPH to 5 MPH). The throttle lever should not be depressed while operating in slow speed mode. Ski Mode Ski mode allows for a controlled launch and accurately maintained maximum towing speed when towing a skier or wake boarder. O.T.A.S. TM System (Off-Throttle Assisted Steering) The O.T.A.S.
ACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES (iCONTROL) iS (intelligent Suspension) The suspension system of this watercraft is designed so that the occupants sit on what is known as the moving deck. When the suspension system is active, the moving deck is usually in an "up" position. This means the moving deck is raised above the fixed deck sufficiently for the suspension system to absorb the up and down movement of the watercraft as it travels through the water. The iS system incorporates a function known as DOCK MODE.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT Required Safety Equipment The operator and the passenger(s) must wear an approved Personal Flotation Device (PDF) that is suitable for PWC use. Operator and passenger(s) should have ready access to shatterproof glasses should riding conditions or personal preference warrant. Wind, water spray and speed may cause a person's eyes to water and create blurred vision. As the owner of the watercraft, you are responsible for assuring that all required safety equipment is aboard.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT readily accessible, legibly marked with the approval number, and of an appropriate size (within the weight range and chest size marked on the PFD) for each person on board. A PFD provides buoyancy to help keep the head and face above the water, and to help maintain a satisfactory body position while in the water. Body weight and age should be considered when selecting a PFD. The buoyancy provided by the PFD should support your weight in water.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT Weighing the Risks vs Benefits In order to decide whether or not you should wear a helmet, it is best to consider the particular environment you will be riding in, as well as other factors such as personal experience. Will there be a lot of traffic on the water? What is your riding style? F00A2GY TYPE V — WEARABLE Helmets Some Important Considerations Helmets are designed to offer some degree of protection in case of impacts to the head.
NAVIGATION RULES Operating Rules Operating a watercraft can be compared with driving on 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 collisions by keeping a safe distance from other watercrafts, boats, people and objects.
NAVIGATION RULES Navigation System Navigational aids, such as signs or buoys, can assist you in identifying safe waters. Buoys will indicate whether you should keep to the right (starboard) or to the left (port) of the buoy, or to which channel you can continue. They may also indicate whether you are entering a restricted or controlled area such as a no wake or low speed zone. They may also indicate hazards or pertinent boating information. Markers may be located on shore or on the water.
NAVIGATION RULES WARNING Stopping distance will vary depending on initial speed, load, wind and water conditions. – Maintaining or increasing speed may be necessary to avoid a collision.
FUELING Fueling Procedure WARNING WARNING Fuel is flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Always work in a well ventilated area. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the vicinity. Turn off engine. WARNING Always stop the engine before refueling. Do not allow anyone to remain on the watercraft. Tie watercraft securely to the fueling pier. Have a fire extinguisher close at hand. To prevent fuel back-flow, fill up tank slowly so the air can escape from the fuel tank.
FUELING Inside North America MINIMUM OCTANE RATING 87 (RON + MON)/2 91 (RON + MON)/2 ENGINES 155 HP Naturally-aspirated 215 and 260HP Supercharged Intercooled (1) 91 87 -- X X(1) X For optimum engine performance. Outside North America MINIMUM OCTANE RATING 92 RON 95 RON ENGINES 155 HP Naturally-Aspirated 215 and 260 HP Supercharged Intercooled (1) 95 92 -- X X(1) X For optimum engine performance.
TRAILERING INFORMATION NOTICE The span of the trailer wood bunks including bunk width should be adjusted to provide support throughout the full length of the hull. The ends of both trailer wood bunks should not exceed the length of the watercraft. NOTICE Do not route ropes or tie-downs over the seat or grab handle as they could be permanently damaged. Wrap ropes or tie-downs with rags or similar protectors where they can come into contact with the watercraft body.
TRAILERING INFORMATION WARNING Bungee cords are under tension and could spring back and whip someone when released. Use caution. NOTE: When trailering 2 watercrafts, it may be necessary to remove the inner wakeboard rack.

WARNING Before starting the engine, the operator and passenger(s) should always be properly seated on the watercraft, have a firm grip on a handhold or hold on to the waist of the person in front of them, and wear appropriate protective clothing including an approved PFD by local authorities and a wet suit bottom. 2.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS If the engine fails to start after 10 seconds, wait a few seconds then repeat procedure. 6. Release engine start/stop button immediately after engine is started. NOTICE Do not hold start/stop button more than 30 seconds to avoid starter overheating. A rest period should be observed between the cranking cycles to allow the starter to cool down. Pay attention not to discharge battery. 7. Slowly accelerate and drive to deeper open water.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS How to Steer Watercraft ahead of them. Reduce speed and avoid sharp turns. Avoid choppy water conditions when carrying a passenger. Tight Turns and Other Special Maneuvers Any tight turns or special maneuvers that will cause the air inlet openings to be kept under water for a prolonged time, water will seep into the bilge. Combustion engines need air to operate; consequently this watercraft cannot be totally watertight.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS When the watercraft is first started, the iBR system automatically sets the iBR gate to the neutral position by default. If the gate is in forward thrust position, tap the iBR lever. The gate will move to neutral. If braking or reverse is used, the iBR gate will move to the neutral position when the iBR lever is released, if throttle is not applied. NOTE: The throttle lever must be fully released for the iBR gate to move to the neutral position when the iBR lever is released.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The braking function can only be engaged during forward operation at or above the threshold speed of 8 km/h (5 MPH). Braking is engaged and controlled when the iBR lever on the LH handlebar is pulled in at least 25% of its travel. WARNING Braking should be practiced in open waters and at gradually increasing speeds in order to become fully familiar with the controls and watercraft handling characteristics.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING Stopping distance will vary depending on initial speed, load, wind, number of riders, water conditions, and the amount of braking power commanded by the operator. Always adjust your riding style accordingly. When the watercraft slows to less than 8 km/h (5 MPH), braking mode ends and reverse mode is engaged. Release the iBR lever once the watercraft is stopped. Otherwise, a rearward movement will be initiated.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS used when cruising. Experience alone will dictate the best trim for the conditions. During the watercraft break-in period, when lower speeds are recommended, it is an excellent opportunity to become familiar with trim adjustment and its effects. When the nozzle is positioned in an upward angle, the water thrust directs the bow of the watercraft upward. This position is used to optimize high speed.

The PWC will accelerate to the set TARGET SPEED and the SKI MODE indicator light will be on steady. 9.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING Your PWC is equipped with an intelligent suspension. Although the system absorbs part of the vertical forces and therefore reduces the impact force to the body, it cannot eliminate it completely. To prevent you and your passenger from being bounced and eventually ejected from the watercraft, reduce your speed. WARNING Avoid riding in very rough waters or practicing extreme maneuvers like jumping wakes or waves.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Dock Mode OFF If the suspension is set to DOCK MODE OFF, the suspension will not lower itself to dock mode height when the throttle is released to idle for more than ten seconds. However, it will lower itself automatically when the engine is shut off, or when O.T.A.S. is activated during a full LH or RH braking turn.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 6. Press the UP or DOWN arrow button to toggle the display to DOCK MODE OFF. When crossing wakes, always keep a safe distance from watercraft ahead. WARNING When crossing wakes, slow down. Operator and passenger(s) should brace themselves and adopt a semi-standing position to help absorb the bumps. Do not jump waves or wakes. smo2009-002-114_ee MODE DEACTIVATED- DOCK MODE OFF 7.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING It is important to inform the operator of a watercraft who intends to follow in a convoy formation of the braking and maneuvering capability of your PWC, what the plume of water indicates, and that a greater distance should be maintained between both of you. F18A03Y The operator should practice in open waters at various speeds to become familiarized with the stopping distances under different conditions.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NOTICE Riding the watercraft in shallow water may result in damage to the impeller, iBR components, or other jet pump components. Always shut off the engine before water depth is less than 90 cm (3 ft) and never use reverse or braking.
SPECIAL PROCEDURES Jet Pump Water Intake and Impeller Cleaning WARNING Keep away from intake grate while engine is running. Items such as long hair, loose clothing or personal flotation device straps can become entangled in moving parts. Weeds, shells or debris can get caught on the intake grate, drive shaft and/or impeller. A clogged water intake may cause troubles such as: – Cavitation: Engine speed is high but watercraft moves slowly due to reduced jet thrust, jet pump components may be damaged.
SPECIAL PROCEDURES WARNING When watercraft is capsized, do not attempt to restart the engine. Operator and passengers should always wear approved personal flotation devices. To turn the watercraft upright, ensure the engine is off and the D.E.S.S. key is NOT on its post, then grab the inlet grate, step on a side bumper rail and use your weight to rotate the watercraft towards you. NOTE: A label on the stern near the flushing connector provides instructions on how to turn the watercraft right side up.
SPECIAL PROCEDURES NOTICE The longer the delay before you have the engine serviced, the greater the damage to the engine will be. Failure to have the engine properly serviced may cause severe engine damage. Towing the Watercraft in Water Special precautions should be taken when towing a Sea-Doo watercraft in water. The maximum recommended towing speed is 24 km/h (15 MPH). This will prevent the exhaust system from filling with water, which may lead to water being injected into and filling the engine.
