smo9701a.bk : smo9701b.fm5 Page 48 Monday, November 3, 1997 9:54 AM BREAK-IN PERIOD_______________________________ Engine With Bombardier-Rotax® watercraft engines, a break-in period is required before operating the engine at full throttle. Engine manufacturer recommendation is about 10 operating hours. During this period, maximum throttle should not exceed 3/4, however, brief acceleration and speed variations contribute to a good break-in.

Bilge Should water be present in the bilge, tilt the watercraft to the rear and unscrew drain plug to completely empty the bilge. ◆ WARNING Make sure to take the watercraft out of water prior to unscrewing the drain plug. Secure bilge drain plug. Battery ◆ WARNING Verify tightness of battery cables and retaining straps.
PAGE 54
smo9701a.bk : smo9701b.fm5 Page 52 Monday, November 3, 1997 9:54 AM ◆ WARNING If engine does not shut-off when pushing engine start/stop button or by disconnecting the safety lanyard, stop the engine by applying the choke and turning fuel valve to OFF position.

smo9701a.bk : smo9701b.fm5 Page 56 Monday, November 3, 1997 9:54 AM ◆ WARNING Directional control is lost when the throttle is closed. Throttle must be applied and handlebar turned to change the direction of the watercraft. Steering efficiency will differ with carrying loads and water conditions. The more the throttle is applied while turning the handlebar, the sharper the turn will be. The watercraft behaves differently with a passenger and requires greater skill.
PAGE 59
smo9701a.bk : smo9701b.fm5 Page 57 Monday, November 3, 1997 9:54 AM ◆ WARNING An inexperienced operator should practice how to get aboard close to the shore to simulate deep water boarding. Refer to Boarding in Deep Water in this section. REMEMBER THESE RULES OF THE ROAD WARNING 1 RES Before unloading the watercraft from the trailer, it can be started for about 10 seconds to verify proper operation. WARNING Do not touch electrical parts or jet pump area when engine is running.

Also, debris could be thrown rearward into bystanders. Warm Engine The same procedure as a cold engine applies, except the choke does not need to be applied and throttle lever has to be slightly depressed.
PAGE 61
smo9701a.bk : smo9701b.fm5 Page 59 Monday, November 3, 1997 9:54 AM - CAUTION Never use jet pump components as a supporting point to board the watercraft.

PAGE 62
smo9701a.bk : smo9701b.fm5 Page 60 Monday, November 3, 1997 9:54 AM - CAUTION On GTS/GTI models, if vent grills are kept below water level, water will enter the bilge. Rough/Choppy Water Operation Avoid operation in these conditions. If you must do so, proceed with caution 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 boat ahead. ◆ WARNING When crossing wakes, slow down.
