Generalm To fully appreciate the pleasures,
enjoyment and excitement of boat-ing there are some basic rules thatshould be observed and followed byany rider. Some rules may be newto you or covered in the PersonalWatercraft Safety Handbook orSafety Video, others may be com-mon sense or obvious… irrespec-tive, we ask that you please take afew minutes of your time to com-pletely read these safety instruc-tions completely before you oper-ate your watercraft. Failure tofollow this safety information andsafe boating rules could result ininjury, including the possibility ofdeath to you, your passenger(s),or other water users.
m Information in this guide is limited.It is strongly recommended thatyou obtain further boating informa-tion from the local Coast Guard orPower Squadron. We also recom-mend all operators to take a boatingsafety course. Please check localand federal boating laws applicableto the waterways where you intendto use the watercraft. Learn the lo-cal rules of the road. Always carrythe regulatory required safety itemson board.
m The performance of this watercraftmay significantly exceed that of oth-er crafts you have operated. There-fore, use of this watercraft by a nov-ice or inexperienced operator, or anunderage or disabled person, isNOT RECOMMENDED.
m Observe and follow all on-productwarning labels.
m Become completely familiar with thecontrols and operation of the water-craft before embarking on your firsttrip or taking on a passenger(s). If youhave not had the opportunity to do sowith your authorized Sea-Doo dealer,practice driving solo in a suitable areaand feel the response of each con-trol. Be fully familiar with all controlsbefore applying throttle above idlespeed. As its operator, you controland are responsible for the water-craft’s safe operation.
m Always carry the regulatory requiredsafety items on board. Check the lo-cal regulations or consult your deal-er.

m Always keep in mind that as thethrottle lever is released to idle posi-tion, less directional control is avail-able. To turn the watercraft, bothsteering and throttle are neces-sary. This watercraft has the capa-bility of turning more sharply thanother crafts, however, unless in anemergency, do not negotiate sharp,high speed turns. You and your pas-senger(s) could be thrown from thewatercraft. It should also be remem-bered that sun, wind, alcohol ordrugs, may impair your judgmentand reaction time.
m While your watercraft has the ca-pacity of operating at high speeds,it is strongly recommended thathigh speed operation only be ap-plied when ideal conditions existand are permitted. Higher speed op-eration requires a higher degree ofskill and increases the risk of severeinjuries.
m The forces generated on the bodyof riders while turning, negotiatingwaves or wakes, operating in chop-py waters, or falling off the water-craft, especially at higher speeds,may cause injury including the pos-sibility of broken legs and otherbones. Remain flexible and avoidsharp turns. Never place your feetand legs in the water to aid turning.
m Ensure operator all-round visibil-ity is unrestricted. Always keep aconstant lookout for other waterusers or other potential hazardsespecially when turning. Makesure to keep a safe distance fromall other crafts, other waterusersor other objects.
m Like any other craft, this watercrafthas no brake. Stopping distance willvary depending on initial speed, load,wind, and water conditions. Practicestopping and docking in a safe, trafficfree area to have an idea of how longit will take to stop the watercraft un-der varying conditions. Do not re-lease throttle when trying to steeraway from objects. You need throttleto steer. Do not use the watercraft’sreverse, if so equipped, to stop.
m Ensure that all passengers knowhow to swim and how to reboardthe watercraft from the water. Theoperator and passenger(s) shouldbe properly seated before startingor moving the watercraft, and at alltimes when watercraft is in motion.Do not start or operate the water-craft if a person(s) is seated on thesun deck or swim platform, or arenearby in the water. The water-craft’s jet thrust can cause injury. Al-ways accelerate slowly. To preventaccidental starting or unauthorizeduse, always detach the safety lan-yard from the watercraft especiallywhen swimmers are boarding ornearby, or during removal of anyweeds or debris from the intakegrate. Keep away from intake gratewhile engine is on. Items such aslong hair, loose clothing, or PFDstraps can become entangled in mov-ing parts resulting in severe injury ordrowning.
m Ride within your limits and avoid ag-gressive maneuvers to reduce therisk of loss of control, ejection andcollision.

m Riding with a passenger(s) or pullingother crafts, tubes, skies or wake-boards makes the watercraft handledifferently and requires greater skill.Do not overload the watercraft ortake on more passengers than des-ignated for the particular watercraft.Overloading can affect maneuver-ability, stability and performance.Avoid adding on accessories, orequipment which may alter yourcontrol of the watercraft. The water-craft maybe fitted with tow eyeletswhich can be used to attach a skirope. However, do not use theseeyelets or the watercraft’s cleats totow a parasail. Severe watercraftdamage may occur.
m Always respect the safety and com-fort of your passenger(s) and per-sons being towed on skis, wake-boards or other water products.Always have an observer while tow-ing a skier, proceed with only asmuch speed as required, and followthe observers instructions. Unlessabsolutely necessary, do not maketight, sharp turns.
m Know the waters in which the wa-tercraft is to be operated. Current,tides, rapids, hidden obstacles,wakes and waves etc., can affectsafe operation. It is not advisable tooperate the watercraft in rough orinclement weather.
m Wake or wave jumping or riding thesurf line can cause severe personalinjury and damage the watercraft.Never attempt to splash others withyour watercraft. You may misjudgethe ability of the watercraft or yourown riding skills and strike a craft orperson.
m In shallow water, proceed with cau-tion and at very low speeds.Grounding or abrupt stops may re-sult in injury. Debris may also bepicked up and be thrown rearwardby the jet pump onto people or prop-erty.
m Respect no wake zones, the rightsof other water users and the environ-ment. As the “skipper” and ownerof a watercraft you are responsiblefor damage to other crafts caused bythe wake of your watercraft. Allowno one to throw refuse overboard.
m Remember that a watercraft is notdesigned for night time operation.
m Avoid adding on accessories orequipment which may alter thecraft’s configuration or balance.
m Remember, gasoline fumes are in-flammable and explosive. Alwaysadhere to the fueling procedurecontained in this guide and thosegiven to you by the marina. Alwaysverify fuel level before use and dur-ing the ride. Apply the principle of1/3 fuel to destination, 1/3 back and1/3 reserve fuel supply. Do not carryspare fuel or inflammable liquids inany of the storage or engine com-partments.
m Combustion engine needs air to op-erate; consequently this watercraftcan not be totally watertight. Anymaneuvers such as figure eightsetc., that cause the upper deck to beunder water may cause severe en-gine problems due to water inges-tion. Refer to “Special procedures”and Limited Warranty contained inthis guide.
m Due to the close proximity of otherracers, it is recommended that anapproved personal watercraft hel-met be used during racing events.Read and follow all instructions andwarnings provided with the helmet.

COMPONENTS FUNCTIONS
1) Safety LanyardThe safety lanyard cap must be se-curely snapped onto its switch to befully operational.Pulling the safety lanyard cap from theswitch stops the engine operation. At-tach the safety lanyard to the opera-tor's Personal Flotation Device (PFD)and snap the cap to the switch to beable to start the engine.
1. Safety lanyard cap on the switch2. Safety lanyard secured on operator’s PFD
Digitally Encoded Security System (DESS)The safety lanyard cap specifically con-tains an electronic circuit that gives ita unique electronic serial number.This safety lanyard cannot be used onanother watercraft and conversely, theone from another watercraft cannot beused on your watercraft.However, the DESS brings a great flex-ibility. You can buy additional safetylanyard and have it programmed foryour watercraft. To have additionalsafety lanyard programmed, refer toan authorized Sea-Doo dealer.If the engine is stopped with the start/stop button while the safety lanyard re-mains on the switch, it can be restart-ed within approximately 10 minutes bypressing the engine start/stop button.After this delay, it is necessary to applya slight pressure or the removal and re-installation of the safety lanyard on theswitch to allow engine starting. Twoshort beeps should sound indicatingthe system is ready again to allow en-gine starting.
Monitoring SystemTo assist you when using the water-craft, a system monitors some compo-nent of the watercraft and sends audi-ble signals through a beeper to informyou of a particular condition. Refer tothe TROUBLESHOOTING section forthe coded signals chart.
m WARNING
Should the safety lanyard cap be-come loose or fail to remain on itsswitch, replace it immediately.
m WARNING
Should the engine be stopped,watercraft directional control islost. Always disconnect safety lan-yard when leaving watercraft.

FUEL AND LUBRICATION
Fueling Procedure
Do not allow anyone to remain on thewatercraft.Tie watercraft securely to the fuelingpier.Have a fire extinguisher close at hand.Do not insert the spout too far in fillerneck.Pour fuel slowly so that air can escapefrom the tank and prevent fuel flow-back.Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck.Do not overfill. Fully tighten fuel tankcap.
Recommended FuelUse regular unleaded gasoline with 87octane (Ron + Mon)/2 specification.NOTE: Do not mix oil with fuel exceptat engine break-in. Refer to BREAK-INPERIOD. Always check injection oilreservoir level when refueling.
CAUTION: Never experiment withother fuels or fuel ratios. Never usefuel containing more than 10% alco-hol, (ethanol or methanol). The useof non-recommended fuel can resultin watercraft performance deterio-ration and damage to critical parts inthe fuel system and engine compo-nents.
Recommended OilGS, GTS and GTI Models
Use of BOMBARDIER-ROTAX injectionoil (or the equivalent) available from anauthorized Sea-Doo dealer. It is a blend of specially selected baseoils and additives which provides prop-er lubrication, engine cleanliness andminimum spark plug fouling.NOTE: High quality low ash API TC in-jection oil for 2-stroke engines can beused if BOMBARDIER-ROTAX injectionoil is not available.CAUTION: Never use 4-stroke petro-leum or synthetic motor oil and nev-er mix these with outboard motoroil. Do not use NMMA TC-W, TC-W2or TC-W3 outboard motor oils orother ashless type 2-stroke oil. Avoidmixing different brands of API TC oilas resulting chemical reaction maycause severe engine damage.
XP, GTX, and RFI Models
Use BOMBARDIER-ROTAX FormulaXP-S synthetic injection oil (or equiva-lent high quality synthetic oil) availablefrom an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.This fully synthetic oil provides out-standing lubrication and cleanliness,less friction and wear for greater en-gine performance and durability.CAUTION: The 787 RFI and the 947engine types require the use ofBOMBARDIER-ROTAX Formula XP-Ssynthetic injection oil (or the equiv-alent high quality synthetic oil).
m WARNING
Follow these safe boating fuelinginstructions explicitly.
m WARNING
The tank design makes provisionfor fuel expansion of about 5%. Ifthis area is filled, fuel will expandand may come out through fuelvent. Always stop the engine be-fore refueling. Fuel is inflammableand explosive under certain condi-tions. Always work in a well venti-lated area. Do not smoke or allowopen flames or sparks in the vicin-ity. Never top off the fuel tank andleave watercraft in the sun. Astemperature increases, fuel ex-pands and might overflow. Alwayswipe off any fuel spillage from thewatercraft.

Oil Injection SystemThis watercraft features an oil injectionsystem which does not require manualfuel/oil mixing.A sufficient amount of injection oilshould be maintained in the reservoir.NOTE: It is recommended to carry a1 L of spare injection oil.The use of a funnel is recommendedto pour the oil into the reservoir. Stopfilling as soon as oil appears at approx-imately 13 mm (1/2 in) from top of res-ervoir. Do not overfill. CAUTION: Always maintain a suffi-cient amount of injection oil in theoil reservoir. Check and refill everytime you refuel. Do not overfill. If theengine runs out of oil, severe enginedamage will occur. If the oil reser-voir is found almost empty, air canenter in the system and it should bebled. Immediately refer to an autho-rized Sea-Doo dealer to have the oilinjection system inspected.

BREAK-IN PERIOD
EngineWith BOMBARDIER-ROTAX® water-craft engines, a break-in period is re-quired before operating the engine atfull throttle. We recommend a break-inof about 10 operating hours.During this period, maximum throttleshould not exceed 3/4, however, briefacceleration and speed variations con-tribute to a good break-in. Continuedwide open throttle accelerations, pro-longed cruising speeds and overload-ing the engine are detrimental duringthe break-in period.To assure additional protection duringthe initial engine break-in, it is recom-mended to add 1 L of the same oil asin the injection oil reservoir in the fueltank for the first full fuel tank fillingonly.To add injection oil in the fuel tank, pro-ceed as follows:Fill fuel tank with approximately 15 li-ters (4 gal) of gasoline; then, add theinjection oil in the fuel.
Fill up fuel tank with gasoline. Do notoverfill.NOTE: It is important to proceed in thisorder to allow a proper mixing of the oilin the gasoline. If oil is added first in anempty fuel tank, fuel lines will be filledup with injection oil leading in a no startcondition of the engine.CAUTION: Remove and clean sparkplugs after engine break-in.
10-Hour InspectionIt is highly recommended that after thefirst 10 hours of operation, the water-craft be checked by an authorized Sea-Doo dealer. This inspection will alsoprovide the opportunity to discuss theunanswered questions you may haveencountered during the first hours ofoperation.
The 10-hour inspection is at the expenseof the watercraft owner.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Principle of OperationPropulsionThe engine is directly coupled to adrive shaft which, in turn, rotates animpeller. This impeller is accurately ad-justed in a housing where the water isdrawn up from underneath the water-craft. Then the water flows throughthe impeller to a venturi. The venturiaccelerates the water and producesthrust to move the watercraft. De-pressing the throttle lever increasesengine speed and therefore watercraftspeed.
TYPICAL
Neutral and Reverse(if so equipped)The shift lever should be in the forwardposition in order for the craft to ad-vance.To obtain neutral, pull shift lever half-way. The reverse gate will be in themiddle position, directing half of thethrust toward the front of the craft tominimize watercraft movement.
GTS MODELS1. Shift lever in neutral position
GTI, GTX AND GTX RFI MODELS1. Shift lever in neutral position
m WARNING
Always perform the DAILY PRE-OPERATION CHECKS before oper-ating the watercraft. Become thor-oughly familiar with all controlsand the function of each. Shouldany control or instruction not befully understood, refer to an au-thorized Sea-Doo dealer.
m WARNING
Whenever the engine is to be start-ed, the operator and passengershould always be sitting on thewatercraft.

Variable Trim System(if so equipped)The variable trim system (VTS) chang-es the angle of the jet pump nozzle toprovide the operator with a fast, effec-tive system to compensate for load,thrust, riding position and water condi-tions. Correctly adjusted, it can im-prove handling, reduce porpoising, andposition the watercraft at its bestriding angle to attain maximum perfor-mance.When first using the watercraft, theoperator should become familiar withthe use of the variable trim system(VTS) at varying speeds and water con-ditions. A mid-range trim is generallyused when cruising. Experience alonewill dictate the best trim for the condi-tions. During the watercraft break-inperiod, when lower speeds are recom-mended, it is an excellent opportunityto gain familiarity of trim adjustmentand its effects.When the nozzle is positioned in an up-ward angle, the water thrust directsthe bow of the watercraft upward. Thisposition is used to optimize highspeed.
TYPICAL1. Push on arrow pointing upward on VTS
button2. Bow up3. Nozzle up
NOTE: Models equipped with anInfo Center, VTS position is indicatedon a bar graph.When the nozzle is directed down-ward, the bow is forced downwardand enhances the watercraft turningcapabilities. As with any watercraft,speed and operator body position andmovement (body English), will deter-mine the degree and sharpness of thewatercraft turn. Porpoising can be re-duced or eliminated if the nozzle isdownward and speed is adjusted pro-portionately.

Steering
Turning the handlebar pivots the jetpump nozzle which controls the water-craft direction. Turning the handlebarto the right will turn the watercraft tothe right and inversely. The throttleshould be applied to turn the water-craft.
Unlike a car, a watercraft needs somethrottle to turn. Practice in a safe areaapplying the throttle and turning awayfrom an imaginary object. This is agood collision avoidance technique.The watercraft behaves differentlywith a passenger and requires greaterskill. The passenger should always gripthe seat strap or grab handle. Reducespeed and avoid sharp turns. Avoidchoppy water conditions when carry-ing a passenger.
Boarding the WatercraftGeneralAs with any watercraft, boardingshould be done carefully and engineshould not be running.On some models, boarding is facilitat-ed by using a step.

Engine OverheatingIf the monitoring beeper continuouslysounds, stop engine immediately.Perform Jet Pump Water Intake andImpeller Cleaning procedure de-scribed in this section.Flush cooling system, refer to POST-OPERATION CARE.If engine still overheats, refer to an au-thorized Sea-Doo dealer for servicing.
Jet Pump Water Intake and Impeller CleaningWeeds, shells or debris can get caughton the intake grate, drive shaft and/orimpeller. A clogged water intake maycause troubles such as:1. Cavitation: Engine speed is high
but watercraft moves slowly due toreduced jet thrust, jet pump compo-nents may be damaged.
2. Overheating: Since the jet pumpoperation controls the flow of waterto cool the engine, a clogged intakewill cause the engine to overheatand damage engine internal compo-nents.
A weed clogged area can be cleanedas follows:
In-Water CleaningRock the watercraft several timeswhile repeatedly pressing enginestart/stop button for short period with-out starting engine. Most of the time,this will remove the blockage. Start en-gine and make sure water flows outfrom bleed outlet and watercraft oper-ates properly.
If system is still blocked, move thecraft out of the water and removeblockage manually.
Models with Reverse System
If the aforementioned method doesnot work, the following can be per-formed:– With engine running and before ap-
plying throttle, put shift lever in re-verse position and vary throttle quick-ly several times.
– Repeat procedure if necessary.
On-Beach CleaningAll Models
Place a cardboard or a carpet besidethe watercraft to prevent scratchingwhen turning the watercraft for clean-ing.Rotating watercraft in the proper direc-tion eliminates the possibility of resid-ual water in the tuned pipe enteringthe engine and causing engine dam-age.
GS, GTS and GTI Models
Rotate the watercraft counterclock-wise (seen from rear) to its left side forcleaning.
m WARNING
Always remove safety lanyard capfrom its switch to prevent acciden-tal engine starting before cleaningthe jet pump area.

Towing the Watercraft in WaterSpecial precautions should be takenwhen towing a Sea-Doo watercraft inwater.Maximum recommended towing speedis 24 km/h (15 MPH).When towing your watercraft in water,pinch the water supply hose from theimpeller housing to the engine with alarge hose pincher (P/N 529 032 500).
This will prevent the cooling systemfrom filling which may lead to waterbeing injected into and filling the ex-haust system. Without the engine run-ning there isn’t any exhaust pressureto carry the water out the exhaust out-let.CAUTION: Failure to do this may re-sult in damage to the engine. If youmust tow a stranded watercraft inwater and do not have a hose pinch-er, be sure to stay well below themaximum towing speed of 24 km/h(15 MPH).Snugly install the hose pincher on thewater supply hose as shown.
