FUEL AND LUBRICATION
CAUTION: Scrupulously follow the
instructions of this section. Failure
to do so may reduce the engine’s life
and/or performance.
Fueling Procedure
Turn off engine.
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. Be careful not to spill fuel.
Stop filling when the fuel reaches the
bottom of filler neck. Do not fill into the
filler tube to prevent fuel spillage. Do
not overfill. Fully tighten fuel tank cap.
Recommended Fuel
Use unleaded regular gasoline with 87
octane (Ron + Mon)/2 specification.
NOTE: Adding injection oil in the fuel
tank for the break-in has no noticeable
effects on a DI engine.
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.
CAUTION: Never use injector clean-
ing products. They may contain addi-
tive that could damage injector com-
ponents.
Recommended Oil
Use only two-stroke engine injection
oil sold by authorized SEA-DOO dealers.
CAUTION: BOMBARDIER Formula
XP-S II oil is specially formulated
and tested for use in our 947 DI en-
gines. Use of any other brand of two-
stroke oil may void the limited war-
ranty. Use only BOMBARDIER For-
mula XP-S II oil (or equivalent oil).

WARNING
Follow these safe boating fueling
instructions explicitly.

WARNING
Always stop the engine before re-
fueling. 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. Fuel tank may be pressurized,
turn cap slowly when opening.
Never use an open flame to check
fuel level. When fueling, keep wa-
tercraft level. Do not overfill or top
off the fuel tank and leave water-
craft in the sun. As temperature in-
creases, fuel expands and might
overflow. Always wipe off any fuel
spillage from the watercraft. Peri-
odically verify fuel system.

WARNING
Do not overfill. Reinstall cap and
fully tighten. Oil is inflammable.
Always wipe off any oil spillage
from the bilge.
