OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Always perform PRE-OPERATION
CHECKS before operating the craft.
Become thoroughly familiar with
all controls and the function of
each. Should any control or in-
struction be not fully understood,
refer to an authorized SEA-DOO
Sport Boat dealer.

Launching/Loading

CAUTION: Before launching the craft,
ensure the main battery cut-off switch
is turned ON and the bilge plugs are
fully screwed.
After loading the craft, ensure the
main battery cut-off switch is turned
OFF and the bilge plugs are removed
to drain bilge.

Trailering

Refer to the trailer or implement man-
ufacturer instructions for proper ca-
pacity, operation, maintenance, acces-
sories and warranty.
Check the regulations in your area con-
cerning towing a trailer, especially the
following rules:
– brake system
– tow vehicle weight
– mirrors.
NOTE: An optional brake system is
available for your trailer, see an autho-
rized SEA-DOO Sport Boat dealer.
Take the following precautions when
trailering the craft:
– Tie the craft to both bow and stern
(front/rear) eyelets so that it is firmly
retained on the trailer. Use addition-
al tie-downs if necessary.
– Remove stern light (if installed).
– Ensure all storage compartment cov-
ers are properly latched.
– Ensure windshield door is securely
locked in the closed position.
– A SEA-DOO cover can protect the
craft, particularly before driving on
dirt roads, to prevent dirt entry
through the air intake opening(s).
Observe trailering safety precautions.

Principle of Operation

Propulsion
Engine is directly coupled to a drive
shaft which, in turn, rotates an impel-
ler. This impeller is accurately adjusted
in a housing where the water is drawn
up from underneath the craft. Then,
the water flows through the impeller
to a venturi. The venturi accelerates
the water and produces thrust to
move the craft. Pushing the throttle/
shift lever forward increase engine
speed and therefore craft speed.
WARNING
Whenever an engine is to be start-
ed, the operator and passengers
should always be sitting in the craft
with the throttle/shift lever in neu-
tral position.
