Maintenance - Sea-doo utopia Operator's Manual

Do not start or operate the craft if a
person(s) is seated on the sun deck
or swim platform, or are nearby in
the water.
The craft's jet thrust can cause inju-
ry. Always accelerate slowly.
To prevent accidental starting or unau-
thorized use, always detach the safe-
ty lanyard from the craft especially
when swimmers are boarding or
nearby, or during removal of any
weeds or debris from the intake grate.
Riding with a passenger(s) or pull-
ing other boats, tubes, skier or
wakeboarder makes the craft han-
dle differently and requires greater
skill. Do not overload the craft or
take on more passengers than des-
ignated for the particular craft. Over-
loading 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.
Grounding or abrupt stops may re-
sult in injury. Debris may also be
picked up and be thrown rearward
by the jet pump onto people or prop-
erty.
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.
Operation of this craft by a minor or
disabled person is NOT recommend-
ed.

which are detailed in this guide. Fur-
ther assistance or information can

top condition at all times. Adhere to
the prescribed maintenance sched-
ules. An annual inspection of the

tion that should be followed.
