FUEL AND LUBRICATION
Fueling Procedure
Do not allow anyone to remain on the
watercraft.
Tie watercraft securely to the fueling
pier.
Have a fire extinguisher close at hand.
Do not insert the spout too far in filler
neck.
Pour fuel slowly so that air can escape
from the tank and prevent fuel flow-
back.
Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck.
Do not overfill. Fully tighten fuel tank
cap.
Recommended Fuel
Use regular unleaded gasoline with 87
octane (Ron + Mon)/2 specification.
NOTE: Do not mix oil with fuel except
at engine break-in. Refer to BREAK-IN
PERIOD. Always check injection oil
reservoir level when refueling.
CAUTION: Never experiment with
other fuels or fuel ratios. Never use
fuel containing more than 10% alco-
hol, (ethanol or methanol). The use
of non-recommended fuel can result
in watercraft performance deterio-
ration and damage to critical parts in
the fuel system and engine compo-
nents.
Recommended Oil
GS, GTS and GTI Models
Use of BOMBARDIER-ROTAX injection
oil (or the equivalent) available from an
authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
It is a blend of specially selected base
oils and additives which provides prop-
er lubrication, engine cleanliness and
minimum spark plug fouling.
NOTE: High quality low ash API TC in-
jection oil for 2-stroke engines can be
used if BOMBARDIER-ROTAX injection
oil is not available.
CAUTION: Never use 4-stroke petro-
leum or synthetic motor oil and nev-
er mix these with outboard motor
oil. Do not use NMMA TC-W, TC-W2
or TC-W3 outboard motor oils or
other ashless type 2-stroke oil. Avoid
mixing different brands of API TC oil
as resulting chemical reaction may
cause severe engine damage.
XP, GTX, and RFI Models
Use BOMBARDIER-ROTAX Formula
XP-S synthetic injection oil (or equiva-
lent high quality synthetic oil) available
from an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
This fully synthetic oil provides out-
standing lubrication and cleanliness,
less friction and wear for greater en-
gine performance and durability.
CAUTION: The 787 RFI and the 947
engine types require the use of
BOMBARDIER-ROTAX Formula XP-S
synthetic injection oil (or the equiv-
alent high quality synthetic oil).

WARNING
Follow these safe boating fueling
instructions explicitly.

WARNING
The tank design makes provision
for fuel expansion of about 5%. If
this area is filled, fuel will expand
and may come out through fuel
vent. Always stop the engine be-
fore refueling. Fuel is inflammable
and explosive under certain condi-
tions. Always work in a well venti-
lated area. Do not smoke or allow
open flames or sparks in the vicin-
ity. Never top off the fuel tank and
leave watercraft in the sun. As
temperature increases, fuel ex-
pands and might overflow. Always
wipe off any fuel spillage from the
watercraft.
