SAFETY CHECK LISTTo fully appreciate the pleasures, enjoymentand excitement of boatingthere are some basic rules that shouldbe observed and followed by anyboater. Failure to follow this safety informationand safe boating rules couldresult in injury, including the possibilityof death to you, your passenger(s),the people you lend your watercraftto, or other water users.GeneralBRP recommends a minimum operatorage of 16 years old.A boating safety course is recommendedand may be required in yourprovince or state.The performance of this watercraftmay significantly exceed that of othercraft you may have operated. Makesure to become completely familiarwith the controls and operation of thewatercraft before embarking on yourfirst trip or taking on a passenger(s). Ifyou have not had the opportunity to doso, practice driving solo in a suitabletraffic free area and feel the responseof each control. Be fully familiar withall controls before accelerating aboveidle speed. Do not assume that allPWCs handle identically. Each modeldiffers, often substantially.The operator of the watercraft controls,and is responsible for the watercraft’ssafe operation. He/she alsohas the responsibility to require thatpassenger(s) and people, to whomhe/she lends the watercraft to, readand understand this safety sectionOperator’s Guide, the Safety Videocassetteand the on-product warning/cautionlabels.Ensure that all passengers know howto swim and how to reboard the watercraftfrom the water.Boarding in deep water can be strenuous.Practice in chest-deep water beforeoperating or embarking your watercraftin deep water.A PWC will not self-right if capsized.The operator and passengers mustknow the proper righting procedureas explained in the Operator’s Guide.Make sure engine is off before rollingover the watercraft.Your local Power Squadron orstate/provincial authorities will bepleased to conduct a complementarysafety examination of your watercraftand help you define your needs.Never ride after consuming drugs oralcohol or if you feel tired or ill.When fueling, follow the safe boatingfueling instructions explicitly, as providedin your Operator’s Guide andthose given to you at the marina. Alwaysverify fuel level before use andduring the ride. Apply the principle of1/3 fuel to destination, 1/3 back and1/3 reserve fuel supply. Do not carryspare fuel or flammable liquids inany of the storage or engine compartments.Always stop the engine before fuelingand never allow anyone to remain onthe watercraft while fueling. Alwaysremember that fuel is flammable andexplosive under certain conditions.Do not smoke or allow open flames orsparks in the vicinity.Respect no wake zones, the rightsof other water users and the environment.As the “skipper” and owner ofa watercraft you are responsible fordamage to other crafts caused by thewake of your watercraft. Allow no oneto throw refuse overboard.Don’t forget that all persons must assistother boaters in an emergency.____________ SAFETY INFORMATION ___________ 9

GETTING UNDERWAYTo WearThe operator and passenger(s) mustwear a Coast Guard approved PersonalFlotation Device (PFD) that is suitablefor PWC use.An operator and the watercraft’s passenger(s)should have ready accessto shatterproof glasses should ridingconditions or personal preference warrant.Wind, water spray and speedmay cause a person’s eyestowaterandcreateblurredvision.The operator and passenger(s) ofPWCs must wear protective clothing,including:– a wet suit bottom or thick, tightlywoven, snug fitting clothingthat provides equivalent protection.Thin bike shorts for examplewould not be appropriate. Severeinternal injuries can occur if wateris forced into body cavities as aresult of falling into water or beingnear jet thrust nozzle. Normalswimwear does not adequatelyprotect against forceful water entryinto the lower body opening(s) ofmales or females.– footwear, gloves and goggles/glasses are also recommended.Some type of lightweight, flexiblefoot protection is recommended.This will help reduce possible injury,should you step on sharp underwaterobjects.10 ___________ SAFETY INFORMATION ___________

HelmetsSome Important ConsiderationsHelmets are designed to offer somedegree of protection in case of impactto the head. In most motorizedsports, the benefits of wearing a helmetclearly outweigh the drawbacks.However, in the case of motorized watersportssuch as riding personal watercraft,this is not necessarily true asthere are some particular risks associatedwith the water.BenefitsA helmet helps to reduce the risk ofinjury in case of a head impact againsta hard surface such as another craft,for example, in the case of a collision.Similarly, a helmet with a chinguardmight help prevent injuries to the face,jaw, or teeth.RisksOn the other hand, in some situationswhen falling off the watercraft, helmetshave a tendency to catch the water,like a “bucket”, and put severestresses on the neck or spine. Thiscould result in choking, severe or permanentneck or spine injury, or death.Helmets may also interfere with peripheralvision and hearing, or increasefatigue, which could contribute to increasethe risk of a collision.Weighing the Risks vs BenefitsIn order to decide whether or not youshould wear a helmet, it is best to considerthe particular environment youwill be riding in, as well as other factorssuch as personal experience. Willthere be a lot of traffic on the water?What is your riding style?The Bottom LineSince each option minimizes somerisks, but increases others, beforeeach ride you must decide whether towear a helmet or not based on yourparticular situation.If you decide to wear a helmet, youmust then decide what type is themost appropriate for the circumstances.Look for helmets that meetDOT or Snell standards, and if possible,choose one designed for motorizedwatersports.RacingDue to the nature of competition andthe proximity of other crafts, BRP recommendswearing a helmet in closequarter PWC racing activities. Alwaysfollow the helmet requirements of thesanctioning organization.To BringAlways carry the regulatory safetyitems and have them convenientlyon board available for use. Checkthe local regulations or consult yourauthorized Sea-Doo dealer. Such requiredsafety items usually include,without limitation, a sound signalingdevice such as a whistle, a watertightflashlight or approved flares, a buoyantheaving line, an anchor and rope*,a bailer*, and an appropriate fire extinguisher*.The items marked witha “*” are not required in Canada if allpersons on board a PWC are wearingaPFD.A cellular telephone in a waterproofbag or container has also been foundto be beneficial to boaters when in distressor just for contacting someoneon shore.12 ___________ SAFETY INFORMATION ___________

To DoRead and understand all warning/cautionlabels on your Sea-Doo PWC,your Operator’s Guide, all other safetydocuments, and watch properly yourSafety Videocassette, before operating.Always keep in mind that the““ symbol, the Warning symbol,identifies an instruction which, if notfollowed, may cause serious personalinjuries including the possibility ofdeath.Check local and federal boating lawsapplicable to the waterways whereyou intend to use your watercraft.Learn the local rules of the road.Know and understand the applicablenavigation system (such as buoys andsigns).Knowthewatersinwhichthewatercraftis to be operated. Current, tides,rapids, hidden obstacles, wakes andwaves etc. can affect safe operation.It is not advisable to operate the watercraftin rough or inclement weather.For safety reasons and proper care,always perform “Daily PreoperationChecks” as specified in your Operator’sGuide before operating yourwatercraft.Keep the engine shut-off cord (safetylanyard) attached to the operator’sPFD at all times and keep it free fromhandlebars so that engine stops if operatorfalls off. After riding, removecord from PWC to avoid unauthorizeduse by children or others. If operatorfalls off the watercraft and safety lanyardis unattached, the watercraft willnot stop.____________ SAFETY INFORMATION ___________ 13

OPERATIONCollision AvoidanceDo not release throttle when trying tosteer away from objects. You needthrottle to steer.Always keep a constant lookout forother water users, other boats or objects,especially when turning. Bealert for conditions that may limit yourvisibility or block your vision of others.Respect the rights of other recreationistsand/or bystanders and alwayskeep a safe distance from all othercraft, people and objects.Do not wake or wave jump, ride thesurf line or attempt to spray or splashothers with your watercraft. You maymisjudge the ability of the watercraftor your own riding skills and strike aboat or person.This watercraft has the capability ofturning more sharply than other boats,however, unless in an emergency, donot negotiate sharp, high speed turns.Such maneuvers make it hard for othersto avoid you or understand whereyou are going. Also, you and/or yourpassenger(s) could be thrown fromthe watercraft.Like any other craft, this PWC has nobrake. Stopping distance will vary dependingon initial speed, load, wind,and water conditions. Practice stoppingand docking in a safe, traffic freearea to have an idea of how long it willtake to stop the watercraft under varyingconditions.Maintaining or increasing speed maybe necessary to avoid a collision.Safe RidingAlways keep in mind that as the throttlelever is released to idle position,less directional control is available, andas the engine is off, directional controlis lost. You need throttle to steer.Ride within your limits and level ofriding ability. Avoid aggressive maneuversto reduce the risk of loss ofcontrol, ejection and collision. Understandand respect the performance oryour watercraft.Always ride responsibly and safely.Use common sense and courtesy.While your watercraft has the capacityof operating at high speeds, itis strongly recommended that highspeed operation only be applied whenideal conditions exist and are permitted.Higher speed operation requiresa higher degree of skill and increasesthe risk of severe injuries.The forces generated on the bodyof riders while turning, negotiatingwaves or wakes, operating in choppywaters, or falling off the watercraft,especially at higher speeds, maycause injury including the possibility ofbroken legs and other bones or moreserious injuries. Remain flexible andavoid sharp turns.In shallow water, proceed with cautionand at very low speeds. Groundingor abrupt stops may result in injury.Debrismayalsobepickedupandbethrown rearward by the jet pump ontopeople or property.Do not use the watercraft’s reverse, ifso equipped, to stop. You or your passenger(s)could be violently ejectedforward onto the handlebars or evenoff the watercraft onto the hazard.PWCs are not designed for night-timeoperation.14 ___________ SAFETY INFORMATION ___________

Operator/PassengerAwarenessThe watercraft operator has the responsibilityto inform passenger(s) ofsafety measures.Never turn handlebar while someoneis nearby rear of watercraft. Keepaway from steering moving parts(nozzle, side vanes, linkage, etc.).Do not start or operate the watercraftif anyone is seated on the sun deck,if so equipped, or swim platform, or isnearby in the water. Water and/or debrisexiting jet thrust nozzle can causesevere injury.The operator and passenger(s) shouldbe properly seated before starting ormoving the watercraft, and at all timeswhen watercraft is in motion. All passenger(s)should be instructed to usethe handholds or seat straps provided,or in the alternative on a PWC, tohold the waist of the person in front ofthem.When accelerating on a PWC with apassenger(s), whether from a completestop or while underway, alwaysdo so progressively. Fast accelerationmay cause your passenger(s) to loosetheir balance or grip and fall rearwardoff the watercraft. Make sure thatyour passenger(s) know of, or anticipate,any rapid acceleration.Keep away from intake grate while engineis on. Items such as long hair,loose clothing, or PFD straps can becomeentangled in moving parts resultingin severe injury or drowning.To prevent accidental starting, alwaysdetach the safety lanyard from the watercraftwhen swimmers are boardingor nearby, or during removal of anyweeds or debris from the intake grate.It should be remembered that sun,wind, alcohol, drugs, fatigue and illness,may impair your judgement andreaction time.On a PWC, never place your feet andlegs in the water to aid turning.Manoeuvrability of theWatercraft/TowingDo not overload the watercraft or takeon more passengers than designatedfor the particular watercraft. Overloadingcan affect maneuverability,stability and performance.Avoid adding on accessories, or equipmentwhich may alter your control ofthe watercraft.The watercraft may be fitted with toweyelets which can be used to attach aski rope.Riding with a passenger(s) or pullinga tube, skier or wakeboarder makesthe watercraft handle differently andrequires greater skill.Always respect the safety and comfortof your passenger(s) and person beingtowed on skis, wakeboard or otherwater products.Always carry an observer when pullinga tube, skier or wakeboarder, proceedwith only as much speed as requiredand follow the observer’s instructions.Unless absolutely necessary, do notmake tight, sharp turns. Keep a safedistance from the docks, other swimmers,craft or objects.Use a tow rope of sufficient lengthand size and make sure it is adequatelysecured to your watercraft. Whilesome craft are equipped or can be fittedwith a specially designed towingmechanism avoid installing a tow poleon a PWC. It can become a hazardshould someone fall on it.Be advised that serious injury can resultif the tow rope becomes slack duringa tight turn or when circling. Therope could become wrapped aroundthe neck or limbs of a person that hasfallen in the water.____________ SAFETY INFORMATION ___________ 15

With wakeboard and/or rack installed,operate with extra caution: never performagressive maneuvers includingspin-out; never jump waves; use commonsense and limit speed. Otherwise,wakeboard could detach or occupantscould fall off and get injuredagainst the wakeboard or rack.Don’t forget: Ride smart from thestart and we all win!16 ___________ SAFETY INFORMATION ___________

OPERATING RULESOperating a watercraft can be comparedwith driving unmarked highwaysand roads. To prevent collisionsor avoid other boaters, a system ofoperating rules must be followed.

Theuse of non-recommended fuel canresult in watercraft performance deteriorationand damage to criticalparts in the fuel system and enginecomponents.Engine OilRecommended OilThis watercraft features a 4-stroke enginethat requires 4-stroke motor oilfor internal engine lubrication. Ensureto respect the following requirements.NA EnginesWatercraft featuring 4-stroke engineswithout superchargers require4-stroke motor oil meeting the requirementsfor API service classificationSL, SJ or SH. Always check the APIservice label on the oil container to besure it includes those letters.The XP-S 10W-40 4-stroke oil (P/N 219700 346) sold by authorized Sea-Doodealers meets those requirements.NOTE: A synthetic oil meeting thesame requirements may be used. TheXP-S 5W-40 Synthetic 4-stroke oil (P/N293 600 039) is suitable.All Supercharged EnginesUse the XP-S 10W-40 4-stroke oil(P/N 219 700 346) or an equivalent approvedby BRP. The same oil lubricatesboth the engine and the superchargerclutch. The XP-S 10W-40 4-stroke oil(P/N 219 700 346) has been thoroughlytested to be free of any additivesthat could impair the functionality ofthe supercharger clutch.NOTE: Use of any oil that is not recommendedmay void BRP’s limitedwarranty.CAUTION: NEVER use synthetic oilin these engines. This would impairthe proper operation of the superchargerclutch. Do not add anyadditives to the recommended oil.Beware that oils not recommendedby BRP may contain additives (frictionmodifiers) that may cause inappropriateslippage of the superchargerand eventually lead to prematurewear. For this reason, oilsother than XP-S 10W-40 4-stroke oil(P/N: 219 700 346) or an approvedequivalent are not recommended.All EnginesCAUTION: Never use any 2-strokeengine oil.Oil ViscosityThe same oil is recommended forall seasons and all ambient temperatures.60 ______________________

WARNINGShould the safety lanyard cap islooseorfailtoremainonitspost,replace it immediately in order toavoid unsafe use.Water Flow in ExhaustManifold (only whentemperature is below orclose to freezing point)In Northern areas, if watercraft is tobe used when temperature is below orclose to freezing point (0°C(32°F)) or ifwatercraft was left unused while temperaturewas below or close to freezingpoint, water may be frozen in thesupply hose going to the exhaust manifold.This could cause exhaust coolingsystem overheating. To ensure itis properly working, do the followingprior to using the watercraft:– The procedure is to be performedwith watercraft out of water.– Connect a garden hose to the flushingconnector at jet pump.– Perform the flushing operation asexplained in POST-OPERATIONCARE.– Ensure water flows out of jet pump.Otherwise, water is frozen in supplyhose and restricts water flow.Do not operate the watercraft inthis condition.NOTE: Pay attention that some waterwill also flow out of exhaust outlet.Make sure water is effectively flowingout of jet pump.CAUTION: Operating watercraftwith frozen water in supply hosemight lead to engine componentsdamage.68 ______________________NOTE: When water freezes, no damageto engine components will occuras water expands but it may causedamage by preventing full flow of coolingwater.– Either wait until ice melt or poursome hot water on supply hose goingto exhaust manifold. Then, performthe flushing operation againto make sure water properly flowsout of jet pump. If you need assistance,refer to an authorizedSea-Doo dealer. WARNINGDo not use any electrical heatingdevice to heat the hose. Electricaldevices may generate sparks thatwould ignite fuel vapors that mightbe present in the bilge causing afire or an explosion.– Ensure to drain bilge if water ispresent.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNINGAlways perform the PRE-OPERA-TION CHECKS before operatingthe watercraft. Become thoroughlyfamiliar with all controls andthe function of each. Should anycontrol or instruction not be fullyunderstood, refer to an authorizedSea-Doo dealer.Principle of OperationPropulsionThe engine is directly coupled to adrive shaft which, in turn, rotates animpeller. This impeller is accuratelyadjusted in a housing where thewater is drawn up from underneaththe watercraft. Then the water flowsthrough the impeller to a venturi. Theventuri accelerates the water andproduces thrust to move the watercraft.Depressing the throttle leverincreases engine speed and thereforewatercraft speed.F18J06YTYPICAL WARNINGWhenever the engine is to be started,the operator and passenger(s)should always be properly sittingon the watercraft and be wearingprotective clothing including aCoast Guard approved PFD and awetsuitbottom. WARNINGKeep away from intake grate whileengine is on. Items such as longhair, loose clothing or personalflotation device straps can becomeentangledinmovingpartsresultingin severe injury or drowning.The shift lever should be in the forwardposition in order for the watercraftto advance.Neutral and Reverse WARNINGNever use jet pump componentsas a supporting point to boardthe watercraft. Shift lever shouldonly be used when the engine isidling and watercraft is completelystopped. Never rev the engineat high RPM in reverse. Do notuse reverse to stop the watercraft.Only use reverse at slow speedand for the shortest time possible.Always ensure the path behindis clear of objects and personsincluding children playing in shallowwater.To find the neutral, set in reverse thenpush back until the watercraft stopsmoving backwards.Thereversegatewillbeinthemiddleposition, directing half of the thrust towardthe front of the watercraft to minimizewatercraft movement. WARNINGWhen the watercraft is in neutralposition, the drive shaft and impellerare still turning._____________________ 69

Reverse gate in downward positionNOTE: To obtain maximum efficiencyand control from the reverse, increaseengine speed to slightly aboveidle. Too much RPM will create waterturbulence and reduce reverse efficiency.In reverse position, turn the handlebarin the same direction that you want tomove the rear of the watercraft.For example, to steer the rear of thewatercraft to the left side, turn thehandlebar to the left side.170 ______________________

When first using the watercraft, theoperator should become familiar withthe use of the variable trim system(VTS) at varying speeds and water conditions.A mid-range trim is generallyused when cruising. Experience alonewill dictate the best trim for the conditions.During the watercraft break-inperiod, when lower speeds are recommended,it is an excellent opportunityto gain familiarity of trim adjustmentand its effects.When the nozzle is positioned in anupward angle, the water thrust directsthe bow of the watercraft upward.This position is used to optimize highspeed.F18J08Y1 WARNINGShift lever should only be usedwhen the engine is idling and watercraftis completely stopped. Donot use reverse to stop the watercraft.RXP ModelsVariable Trim System(if so equipped)The variable trim system (VTS)changes the angle of the jet pumpnozzle to provide the operator with afast, effective system to compensatefor load, thrust, riding position and waterconditions. Correctly adjusted, itcan improve handling, reduce porpoising,and position the watercraft at itsbest riding attitude to attain maximumperformance.2F19L0FY1. Push on arrow pointing upwardon VTS button2. Bow up3. Nozzle upNOTE: VTS position is indicated on abar gauge in the information center.3_____________________ 71

When the nozzle is directed downward,the bow is forced downwardand enhances the watercraft turningcapabilities. As with any watercraft,speed and operator body position andmovement (body English), will determinethe degree and sharpness of thewatercraft turn. Porpoising can be reducedor eliminated if the nozzle isdownward and speed is adjusted proportionately.All ModelsSteeringF18J09Y2F19L0IY1. Push on arrow pointing downwardon VTS button2. Bow down3. Nozzle down13Turning the handlebar pivots the jetpump nozzle which controls the watercraftdirection. Turning the handlebarto the right will turn the watercraftto the right and inversely. The throttleshould be applied to turn the watercraft. WARNINGThrottle should be applied andhandlebar turned to change the directionof the watercraft. Steeringefficiency will differ depending onthe number of passengers, load,water conditions and environmentalfactors such as the wind.Unlike a car, a watercraft needs somethrottle to turn. Practice in a safe areaapplying the throttle and turning awayfrom an imaginary object. This is agood collision avoidance technique. WARNINGDirectional control is reducedwhen the throttle is releasedand/or when engine is off.72 ______________________

The watercraft behaves differentlywith a passenger and requires greaterskill. The passenger should alwaysgrip the seat strap or grab handle.Reduce speed and avoid sharp turns.Avoid choppy water conditions whencarrying a passenger.CAUTION: Combustion engineneeds air to operate; consequentlythis watercraft can not be totallywatertight. Any maneuvers suchas figure eights etc., that causethe upper deck to be under watermay cause severe engine problemsdue to water ingestion. Refer toSPECIAL PROCEDURES and LIM-ITED WARRANTY contained in thisguide.Off-Power Assisted SteeringSystem (O.P.A.S.)The Off-Power Assisted Steering(O.P.A.S.) system uses a dual sidevanes design that assists the watercraftsteering in deceleration, toredirect watercraft path when steeringis turned after throttle has beenreleased or engine stopped.The side vanes on the rear sides of thehull, turn as the steering is turned toassist the watercraft turning. At first,carefully experiment turning with thissystem.Models with Sliding Side Vanes(O.P.A.S. System)When engine is running at approximately75% or more RPM, the sidevanes are automatically raised to upperposition since they are not requiredat that vehicle speed range.Between 30% and 75% engine RPM,side vanes are gradually raised fromlower position to upper position.F18K02Y 11.

SPECIAL PROCEDURESMonitoring SystemTo assist you when using the watercraft,a system monitors the electroniccomponents of the EMS (engine managementsystem) and other componentsof the electrical system. Whena fault occurs, it sends visual messagesthrough the information centerand/or audible signals through a beeperto inform you of a particular condition.Refer to the INFORMATIONCENTER for the displayed messagesand the TROUBLESHOOTING sectionfor the beeper coded signals chart.When minor faults occur, the fault andmessage/beeper will disappear automaticallyif the condition does not existanymore.Releasing throttle and letting the enginereturning at idle speed may allownormal operation to come back. If itdoes not work, try removing and reinstallingthe safety lanyard on its post.The electronic system will react differentlydepending on the fault type. Insevere failure, the engine might not beallowed to be started. In other cases,the engine will operate in limp homemode. See below.When a fault occurs, see an authorizedSea-Doo dealer as soon as possible forinspection.Limp Home ModesBesides the signals as seen above, theEMS may automatically set default parametersto ensure the adequate operationof the watercraft if an electroniccomponent is not operating properly.Depending on the severity of the malfunction,the watercraft speed may bereduced and not allowed to reach itstop speed as usual.In this mode, it may be necessary todepress the throttle quite slowly to allowengine RPM to increase and operatethe watercraft to go back home.82 ______________________These performance-reduced modesallow the rider to go back home whichwould not be possible without thisadvanced system.Engine OverheatingCAUTION: If the monitoring beepercontinuously sounds, stop engineas soon as possible.Check coolant level. Refer to LIQ-UIDS. If engine still overheats, continuethe following procedure.Perform JET PUMP WATER INTAKEAND IMPELLER CLEANING proceduredescribed in this section.When back to shore, flush exhaustcooling system, refer to POST-OPER-ATION CARE.If engine still overheats, refer to an authorizedSea-Doo dealer for servicing.Engine Low Oil PressureCAUTION: If the monitoring beepercontinuously sounds, stop engineas soon as possible.Turn off engine as soon as possible.Check oil level and refill.Restart the engine.
