Pre-Ride Inspection; What To Do Before Launching The Watercraft - Sea-doo GTS Operator's Manual

PRE-RIDE INSPECTION

Perform a pre-ride inspection before each ride to detect potential problems
during operation. The pre-ride inspection can help you monitor wear and
deterioration before they become a problem. Correct any problems that
you discover to reduce the risk of a breakdown or crash. See an authorized
Sea-Doo dealer as necessary.
Before performing the pre-ride inspection, read and understand the
