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.
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, your passenger(s), the people you lend your watercraft to, or other water users. General BRP recommends a minimum operator age of 16 years old.
GETTING UNDERWAY To Wear The operator and passenger(s) must wear a Coast Guard approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD) that is suitable for PWC use. An operator and the watercraft's passenger(s) 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.
Eye protection Vest-type personal flotation device Gloves Wet suit or wet suit bottom Foot protection F00A12L _____________________ 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 “m“ 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.
Do not start or operate the watercraft if anyone is seated on the sun deck, if so equipped, or swim platform, or is nearby in the water. Water and/or debris exiting jet thrust nozzle can cause severe injury. The operator and passenger(s) should be properly seated before starting or moving the watercraft, and at all times when watercraft is in motion.
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! Meeting Head-On Keep right. 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. F00A15Y Passing Give right of way to other craft and keep clear.

Inspect hull and jet pump water intake grate for damage. Replace or have damaged parts repaired. WARNING Periodically verify the seat lock pin and tighten if needed. Make sure seat securely latches. Cleaning The bilge should be cleaned by an authorized Sea-Doo dealer to remove any fuel/oil/electrolyte deposits and mildew. Occasionally, wash the body with water and soap (only use mild detergent). Remove any marine organisms from engine and/or hull. Apply non-abrasive wax such as silicone wax.
TRAILERING, STORAGE AND PRESEASON PREPARATION WARNING Trailering CAUTION: To avoid damaging O.P.A.S. side vanes, the maximum trailer wood bunks span including bunk width should not exceed 71 cm (28 in). Ends of both trailer wood bunks should not be more than 2.59 m (102 in) away from watercraft bow attachment point. See following illustration. 2 1 B F00L2VY 1. 2. A. B.
Storage Carburetor-Equipped Models WARNING Because fuel and oil are flammable, have an authorized Sea-Doo dealer inspect the fuel and oil systems integrity as specified in the periodic inspection chart. It is recommended that the watercraft be serviced by an authorized Sea-Doo dealer for storage but the following operations can be performed by you with a minimum of tools. CAUTION: Do not run the engine F07E0MY during the storage period. TYPICAL 1.
Water should flow out of the fitting (magneto cooling circuit) and hose (crankcase heat exchanger). Push and hold hose against bilge so that draining can take place. 2 Propulsion System Lubricant in jet pump reservoir should be drained and reservoir cleaned. Refer to an authorized Sea-Doo dealer for this operation. Grease lubrication point(s) of propulsion system as explained in MAINTENANCE section.
Battery Contact your authorized Sea-Doo dealer. NOTE: It may be easier to reach hoses when you remove the vent tube support. Antifreezing Protection NOTE: This procedure requires approximately 2.5 L (2.6 U.S. qt.) of antifreeze. In cool regions where freezing point may be encountered, cooling system should be filled with an equal part of water and antifreeze solution. CAUTION: Antifreeze must be fed in cooling system. Otherwise remaining water will freeze.

Disconnect hose above T-fitting Install a hose pincher just below T-fitting.
NOTE: Most of the antifreeze will drain out when removing the hose pinchers. Use a container to recover it. DISPOSE ANTIFREEZE AS PER YOUR LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS. NOTE: Although antifreeze mainly drained out, the antifreeze has mixed with the water that was possibly trapped in the water jackets. This will prevent freezing problems. At preseason preparation, drain the remaining antifreeze from cooling system prior to using the watercraft.
Preseason Preparation Chart NOTE: It is highly recommended that an authorized Sea-Doo dealer perform the annual safety inspection and factory campaigns in addition to the preseason preparation all at the same time.
