Maintenance - Sea-doo ISLANDIA Operator's Manual

Riding with a passenger(s) or pull-
ing other boats, tubes, skier or wake-
boarder makes the craft handle dif-
ferently and requires greater skill.
Do not overload the craft or take on
more passengers than designated
for the particular craft. Overloading
can affect maneuverability, stability
and performance. Avoid adding on
accessories, or equipment which
may alter your control of the craft.
The craft may be fitted with tow
eyelets which can be used to attach
a ski rope. However, do not use
these eyelets or the craft's cleats to
tow a parasail. Severe craft damage
may occur.
In shallow water, proceed with cau-
tion and at very low speeds. Ground-
ing or abrupt stops may result in in-
jury. Debris may also be picked up
and be thrown rearward by the jet
pump onto people or property.
Respect no wake zones, the rights
of other water users and the envi-
ronment. As the "skipper" and
owner of a boat you are responsible
for damage to other boats caused
by the wake of your craft. Allow no
one to throw refuse overboard.
This craft is equipped with naviga-
tion lights which should be used be-
tween sunset and sunrise. Reduce
speed and do not operate the craft
in reduced visibility.
Remember, gasoline fumes are in-
flammable and explosive. Always
adhere to the fueling procedure
contained in this guide and those
given to you by the marina. Always
verify fuel level before use and dur-
ing the ride. Apply the principle of
1/3 fuel to destination, 1/3 back and
1/3 reserve fuel supply. Do not carry
spare fuel or inflammable liquids in
any of the storage or engine com-
partments.

Combustion engine needs air to op-
erate; consequently this craft can
not be totally watertight. Any ma-
neuvers such as figure eights etc.,
that cause the upper deck to be un-
der water may cause severe engine
problems due to water ingestion.
Refer to SPECIAL PROCEDURES
and Limited Warranty contained in
this guide.
