IMPORTANT ON-PRODUCT LABELS Collisions result in more INJURIES AND DEATHS than any other type of accident for personal watercraft (PWC). TO AVOID COLLISIONS: SCAN CONSTANTLY for people, objects, and other watercraft. Be alert for conditions that limit your visibility or block your vision of others. OPERATE DEFENSIVELY at safe speeds and keep a safe distance away from people, objects, and other watercraft.

BREAK-IN PERIOD Operation During Break-In Period A break-in period of 10 operating hours is required before running the water- craft at sustained full throttle. During this period, maximum throttle should not exceed 1/2 to 3/4 opening. However, brief full acceleration and speed variations contribute to a good break-in.
Should any control or instruction not be fully understood, refer to an authorized Sea-Doo dealer. Boarding the Watercraft As with any watercraft, boarding should be done carefully and engine must not be running.

Limited Applicability As a certifying manufacturer, BRP may deny emission-related warranty claims for failures that have been caused by the owner’s or operator’s improper main- tenance or use, by accidents for which the manufacturer has no responsibility, or by acts of God. For example, an emission-related warranty claim need not be honored for failures that have been directly caused by the operator’s abuse of the engine/equipment or the operator’s use of the engine/equipment in a manner for which it was not designed and are not attributable to the manufacturer in any way.
