GET FAMILIAR WITH THE WATERCRAFT
To prevent accidental starting, always detach the tether cord from the engine
cut-off switch when swimmers are boarding, nearby, or during removal of any
weeds or debris from the intake grate.

Most watercrafts have no means of braking.
On some models, advancement in technologies now permits us to offer a braking
system called the iBR (intelligent Brake and Reverse). Practice braking maneu-
vers in a safe traffic-free area to become familiar with handling under braking and
with stopping distances under various operating conditions.
Stopping distance will vary depending on initial speed, load, wind, number of
riders and water conditions. The amount of braking power commanded by the
operator using the iBR lever will also affect stopping distance.
When braking, riders must brace themselves against the deceleration force to
prevent from moving forward on the watercraft and losing balance.
When operating an iBR equipped watercraft, be aware that other boats following
or operating in close proximity may not be able to stop as quickly. Inform the op-
erator of a watercraft who intends to follow you in a convoy formation of the brak-
ing capability of your watercraft and the need of keeping a greater distance
between watercraft.
The brake feature of the iBR system cannot prevent your watercraft from drifting
due to current or wind. It has no braking effect on the rearward velocity. Also note
that your engine must be running to be able to use the brake.

The Sea-Doo LK™ learning key limits the speed of the watercraft. It could be an
option for first time users and less experienced operators to learn how to operate
the watercraft.

Do not store any objects in areas that are not designed specifically for storage.
Do not transport cargo on the rear platform unless it is properly secured with a
BRP LinQ™ certified accessory. Compatible accessories which are not BRP cer-
tified may not be considered as fit for this purpose.
When carrying loads on the rear platform or onto cargo accessories, reduce your
speed and adapt your driving behavior to reduce the risk of ejection from the
watercraft or contact with cargo possibly leading to injuries.
Do not exceed the payload or passenger capacities for your watercraft. Over-
loading can affect manoeuvrability, stability and performance. Also, heavy seas
reduce capacity.
