On-Beach Water Cleaning
WARNING
Always remove safety lanyard cap

jet pump area.
Place a cardboard or a carpet beside
the watercraft to prevent scratches
when turning the watercraft for clean-
ing purposes.
Rotate the watercraft on any side for
cleaning.
Clean the water intake area. If the sys-
tem is still clogged, refer to an autho-
rized Sea-Doo dealer for servicing.
CAUTION: Inspect water intake
grate for damage. Refer to an au-
thorized Sea-Doo dealer for repair
as necessary.

Capsized Watercraft

The watercraft is designed so that it
should not turn over easily. Further-
more, two sponsons mounted on the
side of the hull assist watercraft stabil-
ity. However, if it does turn over, it will
remain capsized.
When watercraft is capsized, never
attempt to restart the engine. The
rider should always wear an ap-
proved personal flotation device.
"Vert" Configuration
To return the watercraft upright, make
sure the engine is off. Lift steering
pole up or step on bumper rail and use
your weight to rotate the watercraft.
"Moto" Seat and Kart
Configuration (if so equipped)
To return the watercraft upright, en-
sure the engine is off, grab the in-
let grate, step on bumper rail and use
your weight to rotate the watercraft.
The watercraft can be rotated on ei-
ther side.

Submerged Watercraft

To limit damage to the engine, per-
form the following procedure as soon
as possible.
Drain bilge.
If the watercraft was submerged in
salt water, rinse off the bilge and all
components with fresh water using a
garden hose to stop the corroding ef-
fect of salt.
CAUTION: Never try to crank or
start the engine of a watercraft
that has been submerged. Wa-
ter trapped in engine would cause
severe damage to the engine com-
ponents.
Bring the watercraft to be serviced by
an authorized Sea-Doo dealer as soon
as possible.
CAUTION: The longer the delay
before you have the engine ser-
viced, the greater will be the risk
and severity of the damage will be
to the engine.
