MAINTENANCE CHART The maintenance is very important, if you are not familiar with safe service prac- tices and adjustment procedures, see your authorized SEA-DOO dealer. Periodic Inspection Routine maintenance is necessary for all mechanized products. A periodic inspec- tion contributes to the product’s life span. The following maintenance chart gives guidelines for regular watercraft servicing scheduled to be performed by you and/or by an authorized SEA-DOO dealer.
