smo2003-005a.book Page 39 Friday, November 1, 2002 8:25 AM BOMBARDIER injection oil is a blend of basic oil and additives especially selected to ensure unequalled lubrication, engine cleanliness and minimum spark plug fouling. The BOMBARDIER Formula XP-S II synthetic injection oil provides superior lubrication, reduced engine component wear and oil deposit, thus maintaining maximum-level performance and antifriction properties.
smo2003-005a.book Page 40 Friday, November 1, 2002 8:25 AM 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. With the DI engine, in order to achieve a good break-in, vary the engine speed every few minutes with brief wide open throttle accelerations of up to 15 seconds.
smo2003-005a.book Page 41 Friday, November 1, 2002 8:25 AM 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.
smo2003-005a.book Page 42 Friday, November 1, 2002 8:25 AM Hull Battery Inspect hull for cracks or damage.

Reverse gate in downward reverse position NOTE: To obtain maximum efficiency and control from the reverse, increase engine speed to slightly above idle. Too much RPM will create water turbulence and reduce reverse efficiency. In reverse position, turn the handlebar in the opposite direction that you want to move the rear of the watercraft.
smo2003-005a.book Page 46 Friday, November 1, 2002 8:25 AM Steering Boarding the Watercraft General As with any watercraft, boarding should be done carefully and engine should not be running. WARNING Turning the handlebar pivots the jet pump nozzle which controls the watercraft direction. Turning the handlebar to the right will turn the watercraft to the right and inversely. The throttle should be applied to turn the watercraft.

F01L4NY F01L4OY Starting Preparation Before unloading the watercraft from the trailer, it can be started for about 10 seconds to verify proper operation. WARNING Components inside engine compartment may be hot. Do not touch electrical parts or jet pump area when engine is running.
smo2003-005a.book Page 49 Friday, November 1, 2002 8:25 AM Rough Water or Poor Visibility Operation Avoid operation in these conditions. If you must do so, proceed with caution and prudence using minimum speed. Crossing Waves Reduce speed. Always be prepared to steer and balance as necessary. When crossing wakes, always keep a safe distance from watercraft ahead. Beaching CAUTION: It is not recommended to run the watercraft to the beach.
smo2003-005a.book Page 50 Friday, November 1, 2002 8:25 AM POST-OPERATION CARE WARNING Allow engine to cool before performing any maintenance.

Components inside engine compartment may be hot. Do not touch any electrical parts or jet pump area when engine is running.
smo2003-005a.book Page 52 Friday, November 1, 2002 8:25 AM Properly reconnect spark plug cables to spark plugs. WARNING Always reconnect spark plug cables at the same spark plugs where they come from. The cable coming out the edge of the electrical box must be connected to the MAG side spark plug. Wipe up any residual water from the engine.
smo2003-005a.book Page 53 Friday, November 1, 2002 8:25 AM SPECIAL PROCEDURES Limp Home Mode Monitoring System To assist you when using the watercraft, a system monitors the electronic components of the fuel injection system and some components of the electrical system. When a fault occurs, it sends visual messages through the information center and/or audible signals through a beeper to inform you of a particular condition.
smo2003-005a.book Page 54 Friday, November 1, 2002 8:25 AM If system is still blocked, move the watercraft out of the water and remove blockage manually. If the aforementioned method does not work, the following can be performed: – With engine running and before applying throttle, put shift lever in reverse position and vary throttle quickly several times. – Repeat procedure if necessary. CAUTION: Inspect water intake grate for damage. Refer to an authorized SEA-DOO dealer for repair as necessary.
smo2003-005a.book Page 55 Friday, November 1, 2002 8:25 AM Water-Flooded Engine Out of Fuel In the event the engine cannot be serviced within a few hours, remove spark plug cables and connect them on the grounding device. When running the engine out of fuel, it may be necessary to remove and install the safety lanyard 2 - 3 times to initially feed the fuel system after fuel tank refill. WARNING Never crank engine with spark plugs removed unless spark plug cables are connected to the grounding device.
