SAFETY INFORMATION ____________ SAFETY INFORMATION www.SeaDooManuals.
INTRODUCTION Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a Sea-Doo personal watercraft. You have selected one of the most popular watercraft on water. Your Sea-Doo® personal watercraft (PWC) can provide you and your family or friends the opportunity to fully enjoy the natural beauty and excitement of the world’s waterways. Welcome to fun on water! With this new enjoyment and freedom however comes the responsibility of safety for yourself, the people you lend your watercraft to, and other water users.
SAFETY CHECK LIST To fully appreciate the pleasures, enjoyment and excitement of boating there are some basic rules that should be observed and followed by any boater. Failure to follow this safety information and safe boating rules could result in injury, including the possibility of death to you, the people you lend your watercraft to, or other water users. General BRP recommends a minimum operator age of 16 years old. A boating safety course is recommended and may be required in your province or state.
GETTING UNDERWAY To Wear The operator must wear a Coast Guard approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD) that is suitable for PWC use. An operator 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. The operator of PWCs must wear protective clothing, including: – a wet suit bottom or thick, tightly woven, snug fitting clothing that provides equivalent protection.
Eye protection Vest-type personal flotation device Gloves Wet suit or wet suit bottom Foot protection F00A12L ____________ SAFETY INFORMATION ___________ www.SeaDooManuals.
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. However, in the case of motorized watersports such as riding personal watercraft, this is not necessarily true as there are some particular risks associated with the water.
To Do Read and understand all warning/caution labels on your Sea-Doo PWC, your Operator’s Guide, all other safety documents, and watch properly your safety videocassette, before operating. Always keep in mind that the ““ symbol, the Warning symbol, identifies an instruction which, if not followed, may cause serious personal injuries including the possibility of death. Check local and federal boating laws applicable to the waterways where you intend to use your watercraft. Learn the local rules of the road.
OPERATION 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.
In shallow water, proceed with caution and at very low speeds. Grounding or abrupt stops may result in injury. Debris may also be picked up and be thrown rearward by the jet pump onto people or property. PWCs are not designed for night-time operation. Never turn handlebar while someone is nearby rear of watercraft. Keep away from steering moving parts (nozzle, linkage, etc.). Never operate this watercraft with a passenger onboard. This watercraft is for one (1) operator only. No passenger.
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! Remember these Rules of the Road Know the Right of Way Rules 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.

CAUTION: (1)The XP-S synthetic 2-stroke oil is specially formulated and tested for the severe requirements of the 787 RFI engines. Use of any other brand two-stroke oil may void the limited warranty. Use only XP-S synthetic 2-stroke oil. There is no known equivalent on the market for the moment. If a high quality equivalent were available, it could be used.
BREAK-IN PERIOD CAUTION: Scrupulously follow the instructions of this section. Failure to do so may reduce the engine’s life and/or performance. With Sea-Doo watercraft powered by Rotax® engines, a break-in period of 10 hours is required before continuous operation at full throttle. To achieve a good break-in, throttle lever should not be depressed more than 3/4, however, brief acceleration and speed variations contribute to a good break-in.
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS WARNING The pre-operation check is very important prior to operating the watercraft. Always check the proper operation of critical controls, safety features and mechanical components, before starting as listed hereinafter. If not done as specified here, severe injury or death might occur. Bring all safety equipment required by local laws.
Hull Inspect hull for cracks or damage. Jet Pump Water Intake Remove weeds, shells, debris or anything else that could restrict the flow of water and damage cooling system or propulsion unit. Clean as necessary. If any obstruction can not be removed, refer to an authorized Sea-Doo dealer for servicing. Inspect leading edges of the impeller, if they have nicks or bends performance will be greatly reduced.
Battery Steering Pole WARNING Verify tightness of battery cables to their posts and condition of battery retaining bracket(s)/fasteners. Do not charge or boost battery while installed. Fuel Tank and Oil Reservoir With the watercraft horizontal, fill the fuel tank. Check the oil level and refill reservoir as necessary. Check fuel tank and oil reservoir retaining straps/fasteners. Engine Compartment WARNING Should any leak or gasoline odor be present, do not start the engine.
Optional Configurations Refer to CONTROLS/INSTRUMENTS/ EQUIPMENTS. WARNING To make sure you are in a riding position that allows you to be in control of the watercraft, always check that any optional seat or accessory that you are using are properly latched and stable before turning on the watercraft engine. _____________________ www.SeaDooManuals.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING Always perform the PRE-OPERATION CHECKS before operating the watercraft. Become thoroughly familiar with all controls and the function of each. Should any control or instruction not be fully understood, refer to an authorized Sea-Doo dealer. This watercraft is designed for one person only. F22L1AY WARNING – Never allow a passenger onboard. This watercraft is for an operator only.
When first using the watercraft, the operator should become familiar with the use of the variable trim system (VTS) at varying speeds and water conditions. A mid-range trim is generally 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 gain familiarity of trim adjustment and its effects.
WARNING Throttle should be applied and handlebar turned to change the direction of the watercraft. Steering efficiency will differ depending on load, water conditions and environmental factors such as the wind. Unlike a car, a watercraft needs some throttle to turn. Practice in a safe area applying the throttle and turning away from an imaginary object. This is a good collision avoidance technique.
We recommend that you familiarize yourself with this feature during your first ride. Boarding the Watercraft General As with any watercraft, boarding should be done carefully and engine should not be running. WARNING Engine should be OFF when boarding the watercraft. Keep limbs away from jet or intake grate. WARNING Inexperienced riders should practice how to get aboard (all methods explained here) close to shore first before venturing into deep water.
CAUTION: Starting the engine or operating the watercraft in shallow water can draw sand, pebbles, or rocks through the jet pump, which might damage the impeller or other pump components. Boarding in Deep Water Swim to the rear of the watercraft. F22L1IY F22L1FY Put your hands on the boarding platform and pull yourself up until your knee can reach the boarding platform, then get on. F22L1JY NOTE: When boarding a watercraft with the “moto“ seat configuration, you can find helpful to use the seat strap.
F22L1QY F22L1MY F22L1RY F22L1NY NOTE: When boarding a watercraft with the kart seat configuration (if so equipped), you can use the seat as an additional support point to keep your balance. F22L1SY Once aboard, take the appropriate riding position. Starting F22L1OY Preparation Before unloading the watercraft from the trailer, it can be started for about 10 seconds to verify proper operation. WARNING F22L1PY Components inside the engine compartment may be hot.
NOTE: If you hear anything other than 2 short beeps from DESS system, it indicates a particular condition that should be corrected. Refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section for the meaning of the coded signal. WARNING Before starting the engine, the operator should always be properly seated or have a stable stance in the “vert“ configuration. Firmly grip the handlebar with your hands and properly place both feet on the floorboard.
WARNING CAUTION: Hanging to handlebar while falling might damage the steering pole or other components. The steering pole length multiply the effect of your weight and this creates an important stress on the watercraft components. WARNING In the “vert” configuration, the proper riding position is for the operator to be on the rear platform of the deck, behind the handlebar.
WARNING Stopping/Docking – In the kart configuration, the proper riding position is to sit on the kart seat. It is not advisable to ride in the “vert” position (i.e. in a stand-up position) when the kart seat is installed, but if this is unavoidable, proceed at low speed with extra caution. Other riding positions may not allow to remain in control of the watercraft or may not offer enough visibility of your surrounding, which could lead to accidents, collisions and possible serious injuries.
Beaching CAUTION: It is not recommended to run the watercraft to the beach. Come slowly to the beach and shut off the engine using the safety lanyard before water depth is less than 90 cm (3 ft) under the lowest rear portion of the hull, then pull the watercraft to the beach. CAUTION: Riding the watercraft in shallower water might damage the impeller or other jet pump components.
POST-OPERATION CARE WARNING Allow engine to cool before performing any maintenance. General Care Take the watercraft out of the water every day to prevent marine organism growth. Should any water be present in the bilge, install safety lanyard on its post to start the electric bilge pump. If some water remains, unscrew the drain plugs and tilt the watercraft rearward in order to allow water to flow out. Wipe off any remaining fluid in the engine compartment (bilge, engine, battery, etc.
NOTE: The quick connect adapter has to be removed once the procedure is completed. Flushing and Lubrication To flush cooling system, start the engine then immediately open the water tap. WARNING Components inside the engine compartment may be hot. Keep away from electrical parts or jet pump area when engine is running. CAUTION: Never flush a hot engine. Always start the engine before opening the water tap. Open the water tap immediately after engine is started to prevent overheating.
Remove both spark plugs and spray BOMBARDIER LUBE or an equivalent lubricant into each cylinder. Remove safety lanyard from its post. Depress the throttle lever at full throttle position and hold. Reinstall the safety lanyard cap on its post. Crank the engine a few turns to distribute the oil on the cylinder walls. NOTE: Proceeding in this order, no fuel will be injected into the engine. Apply anti-seize lubricant on spark plug threads then reinstall them.
SPECIAL PROCEDURES Monitoring System To assist you when operating the watercraft, a system monitors some component of the watercraft and sends audible signals from a beeper or light up a warning light to inform you of a particular condition. Refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section for the coded signals chart. Engine Overheating CAUTION: If the monitoring beeper continuously sounds, stop engine immediately. Perform JET PUMP WATER INTAKE AND IMPELLER CLEANING procedure described in this section.
”Moto” Seat and Kart Configuration (if so equipped) To return the watercraft upright, ensure the engine is off, grab the inlet grate, step on bumper rail and use your weight to rotate the watercraft. The watercraft can be rotated on either side. Submerged Watercraft F22L06Z Clean the water intake area. If the system is still clogged, refer to an authorized Sea-Doo dealer for servicing. CAUTION: Inspect water intake grate for damage. Refer to an authorized Sea-Doo dealer for repair as necessary.
Remove the spark plugs and wipe them dry using a clean and dry cloth. Cover spark plug holes with a rag. To prevent fuel from being injected into the engine, proceed as follows. Remove safety lanyard from its post. Depress and hold the throttle lever to full throttle position. Wait 2 seconds then, reinstall the safety lanyard cap while keeping throttle lever fully depressed. Crank engine several times to allow water to escape from spark plug openings. Release throttle lever.
