MAINTENANCE

WARNING
Only perform procedures as de-
tailed in this guide. It is recom-
mended that the assistance of
an authorized Sea-Doo dealer be
periodically obtained on other
components/systems not covered
in this guide. Unless otherwise
specified, engine must not be run-
ning and the safety lanyard must
be removed from its post for all
maintenance procedures. Never
use jet pump components or side
vanes to lift the watercraft. Cer-
tain components in the engine
compartment may be very hot.
Direct contact may result in skin
burn. When operating the engine
while the watercraft is out of the
water, the heat exchanger in the
ride plate may become very hot.
Avoid any contact with ride plate
as burns may occur.

Lubrication

BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant or
equivalent.
Electrical Connections
As necessary,
product such as dielectric grease on

Additional Lubrication
BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant or
equivalent will help prevent corrosion
of metallic parts and maintain proper
operation of moving mechanisms.
WARNING
Do not lubricate the safety lanyard
post.
Ski/Wakeboard Post (if so equipped)
Lubricate ski/wakeboard post through
all its length. Pull out then push in sev-
eral times to distribute the lubricant.
Reverse Gate
Lubricate pivoting points and mecha-
nism.

Throttle Cable Inspection

Throttle Cable
Depress and release the throttle lever.
It should operate smoothly and return
to its initial position without any hesi-
tation. There must be a small amount
of free-play when throttle lever is re-
leased. Refer to an authorized Sea-
Doo dealer if necessary.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to adjust
the idle speed through the throttle
body tamper proof screw. If so, it
would impair the idle speed stabil-
ity. Besides, no adjustment could
be performed by the dealer nor the
factory to correct the idle speed.
The throttle body would need to be
replaced at the customer's expense.
Also take into account that might
change the engine emission level
and the engine might not meet the
EPA/CARB requirements.
WARNING
Do not alter or tamper with throttle
cable adjustment or routing.
