GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Avoid Carbon MonoxidePoisoningAll engine exhaust contains carbonmonoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing car-bon monoxide can cause headaches,dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confu-sion and eventually death.Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odor-less, tasteless gas that may be presenteven if you do not see or smell any en-gine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbonmonoxide can collect rapidly, and youcan quickly be overcome and unableto save yourself. Also, deadly levels ofcarbon monoxide can linger for hoursor days in enclosed or poorly ventilatedareas. If you experience any symp-toms of carbon monoxide poisoning,leave the area immediately, get freshair and seek medical treatment.To prevent serious injury or death fromcarbon monoxide:– Never run the watercraft in poorly

ventilated or partially enclosed ar-eas such as watercraft houses, sea-walls or other boats in close prox-imity. Even if you try to ventilateengine exhaust, carbon monoxidecan rapidly reach dangerous levels.

– Never run the watercraft outdoorswhere engine exhaust can be drawninto a building through openingssuch as windows and doors.

– Never stand behind the watercraftwhile the engine is running. A per-son standing behind a running en-gine may inhale high concentrationsof exhaust fumes. Inhalation of con-centrated exhaust fumes that con-tain carbon monoxide can result inCO poisoning, serious health prob-lems and death.

Avoid Gasoline Fires andOther HazardsGasoline is extremely flammable andhighly explosive. Fuel vapors canspread and be ignited by a spark or

flame many feet away from the en-gine. To reduce the risk of fire or explo-sion, follow these instructions:– Use only an approved red gasoline

container to store fuel.– Strictly adhere to the instructions in

FUELING section.– Never start watercraft if gasoline or

gasoline vapor odors is present inthe engine compartment.

– Never start or operate the engine ifthe fuel cap is not properly secured.

– Do not carry gasoline containers inthe front storage compartment oranywhere else on the watercraft.

Gasoline is poisonous and can causeinjury or death.– Never siphon gasoline with your

mouth.– If you swallow gasoline, get any in

your eyes, or inhale gasoline vapors,see a doctor immediately.

If gasoline is spilled on you, washthoroughly with soap and water andchange your clothes.

Avoid Burns from Hot PartsCertain components may become hotduring operation. Avoid contact dur-ing and shortly after operation to avoidburns.

Accessories andModificationsDo not make unauthorized modifica-tions, or use accessories that are notapproved by BRP. Since these changeshave not been tested by BRP, theymay increase the risk of accidents orinjuries, and they can make the water-craft illegal for use on water.See your authorized Sea-Doo dealerfor available accessories for your wa-tercraft.

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES

Reminders Regarding SafeOperationThe performance of this watercraftmay significantly exceed that of otherwatercraft you may have operated.Make sure you read and understandthe content of this Operator's Guideto become completely familiar withthe controls and operation of the wa-tercraft before embarking on your firsttrip, or taking on a passenger(s). If youhave not had the opportunity to do so,practice driving solo in a suitable traf-fic free area to become accustomedto the feel and response of each con-trol. Be fully familiar with all controlsbefore accelerating above idle speed.Do not assume that all PWCs handleidentically. Each model differs, oftensubstantially.Always keep in mind that as the throt-tle lever is returned to the idle position,less directional control is available. Toturn the watercraft, both steering andthrottle are necessary. Do not releasethrottle when trying to steer away fromobjects. Your need throttle to steer. Ifthe engine is shut off, directional con-trol is lost.Although most watercraft have nomeans of braking, advancement intechnologies now permit us to offermodels that are equipped with a brak-ing system called the iBRTM system.Practice braking maneuvers in a safetraffic-free area to become familiarwith handling under braking and withstopping distances under various oper-ating conditions.

WARNINGStopping distance will vary de-pending on initial speed, load,wind, number of riders and waterconditions. The amount of brakingpower commanded by the opera-tor using the iBR lever (intelligentBrake and Reverse) will also affectstopping distance.

When braking, riders must brace them-selves against the deceleration forceto prevent from moving forward on thewatercraft and losing balance.When operating an iBR equipped wa-tercraft, be aware that other boats fol-lowing or operating in close proximitymay not be able to stop as quickly.When at speed and the brake is firstapplied, a plume of water will shoot upin the air behind the watercraft whichmay cause the operator of a followingwatercraft to momentarily loose sightof your PWC. It is important to informthe operator of a watercraft who in-tends to follow in a convoy formation,of the braking and maneuvering capa-bility of your PWC, what the plume ofwater indicates, and that a greater dis-tance should be maintained betweenwatercraft.When actuating the iBR control leverwhile the watercraft has some for-ward speed, the braking mode willengage and generate a decelerationproportional to the iBR lever position.The more you pull in the iBR lever, thegreater the braking force becomes.Be careful to gradually actuate the iBRlever to adjust the intensity of the brak-ing force, and to simultaneously re-lease the throttle lever.The brake feature of the iBR systemcannot prevent your PWC from drift-ing due to current or wind. It has nobraking effect on the rearward motion.Also note that your engine must berunning to be able to use the brake.The personal watercraft jet thrust cancause injury. The jet pump may pick updebris and throw it rearward causing arisk of injuring people, damaging the jetpump, or other property.Observe the instructions on all safetylabels. They are there to help assurethat you have a safe and enjoyable out-ing.



Do not store any objects in areas thatare not designed specifically for stor-age.Riding with a passenger makes thePWC handle differently and requiresgreater skill.This PWC comes equipped with frontand rear eyelets for mooring the wa-tercraft or for attachment on a trailer.It cannot be used to attach a tow ropefor a skier, tube or wake boarder. Donot use these attachment points or anyother portion of the watercraft to towa para-sail or any other craft. Personalinjury or severe damage may occur.Certain PWC models come equippedwith tow eyelets which, can be usedto attach a tow rope for a skier, tubeor wake boarder. Do not use these at-tachment points or any other portion ofthe watercraft to tow a para-sail or anyother craft. Personal injury or severedamage may occur.Combustion engines need air to op-erate; consequently this PWC cannotbe totally watertight. Any maneuverssuch as turning constantly in tight cir-cles, plunging the bow through waves,or capsizing the watercraft, that causethe air inlet openings to be under wa-ter may cause severe engine problemsdue to water ingestion. Refer to OP-ERATING INSTRUCTIONS subsectionand the WARRANTY section containedin this Operator's Guide.Engine exhaust contains carbonmonoxide (CO), which can cause seri-ous health problems or death if inhaledin sufficient quantities. Do not operatethe PWC in a confined area or allowCO to accumulate around the PWC,or in enclosed or sheltered areas suchas when docked, or when rafting. Beaware of the risk of CO emanationsfrom exhaust of other PWCs.Know the waters in which the water-craft is to be operated. Current, tides,rapids, hidden obstacles, wakes andwaves etc. can affect safe operation.

It is not advisable to operate the wa-tercraft in rough waters or inclementweather.In shallow water, proceed with cautionand at very low speeds. Grounding orabrupt stops may result in injury andwatercraft damage. Debris may alsobe picked up and thrown rearward bythe jet pump onto people or property.Keep the tether cord attached to theoperator's PFD or wrist (wrist straprequired) at all times and keep it freefrom snagging on the handlebars tohelp ensure the engine stops shouldthe operator fall off. After riding, re-move the tether cord from the enginecut-off switch to avoid unauthorizeduse by children or others. If the op-erator falls off the watercraft and thetether cord is not attached as recom-mended, the watercraft engine will notstop.Ride within your limits and level of rid-ing ability.Always ride responsibly and safely.Use common sense and courtesy.Respect no wake zones, the environ-ment, and the rights of other users ofthe waterways. As the operator andowner of a PWC, you are responsiblefor damage by the wake of your PWC.Do not let anyone throw refuse over-board.While your watercraft has the ca-pacity of operating at high speeds, itis strongly recommended that highspeed operation only be applied whenideal conditions exist and are permit-ted. Higher speed operation requires ahigher degree of skill and increases therisk of severe injuries.The forces generated on the body ofriders while turning, negotiating wavesor wakes, operating in choppy waters,or falling off the watercraft, especiallyat higher speeds, may cause injury in-cluding the possibility of broken bonesor more serious bodily injuries. Re-main flexible and avoid sharp turns.

10 _______ SAFETY INFORMATION ________


PWCs are not designed for night-timeoperation.Avoid riding in very rough waters orpracticing extreme maneuvers likejumping wakes or waves.Everyone participating in a water sportshould observe these guidelines:– Riding with passenger makes the

watercraft handle differently and re-quires greater skill.

– Always respect the safety and com-fort of your passenger.

– Always wear an approved personalflotation device (PFD). Wearinga properly designed PFD helps astunned or unconscious person stayafloat.

– Be considerate to others you sharethe water with.

– Give immediate attention to a per-son who has fallen. He or she isvulnerable in the water alone andmay not be seen by other boaters.

– Approach a person in the water fromthe lee side (opposite the directionof the wind). Turn off the motor be-fore coming close to the person.

– Turn off the engine and anchor thewatercraft before swimming.

– Swim only in areas designated assafe for swimming. These are usu-ally marked with a swim area buoy.Do not swim alone or at night.

��

SWIM AREA BUOY

– Do not drive the watercraft directlybehind a water skier, tuber or wake-boarder. At 40 km/h (25 MPH) perhour, the watercraft will overtake aperson who falls in the water 60 m(197 ft) in front of your watercraft inabout 5 seconds.

– Shut off the engine and remove thetether cord from the engine cut-offswitch when anyone is in the waternearby.

– Stay at least 45 m (148 ft) awayfrom areas marked by a diver downfloat.

Avoid personal injury! Do not allowanyone near the propulsion system orintake grate, even when the engineis off. Items such as long hair, looseclothing or personal flotation devicestraps can become entangled in mov-ing parts resulting in serious injury ordrowning. In shallow water, shells,sand, pebbles or other objects couldbe drawn up by the jet pump and bethrown rearward.

Before Getting Underway

For safety reasons and proper care, al-ways perform the pre-ride inspectionas specified in your Operator's Guidebefore operating your watercraft.Do not exceed the payload or pas-senger capacities for your watercraft.Overloading can affect maneuverabil-ity, stability and performance. Also,heavy seas reduce capacity. A payloador person capacity plate is not an ex-cuse for failure to use common senseor good judgment.Regularly inspect the PWC, hull, en-gine, safety equipment, and all otherboating gear and keep them in safe op-erating condition.Be sure you have at least the minimumrequired safety equipment, PFDs andany additional gear needed for yourcruise.Ensure that all lifesaving equipment,including fire extinguisher, are in safeoperating condition and easily acces-sible. Show all passengers where thisequipment is stored on the PWC, andmake sure they know how to use it.Keep an eye on the weather. Check lo-cal weather broadcasts before depar-ture. Be alert to changing conditions.Keep accurate and up-to-date charts ofthe boating area on board. Before get-ting underway, check water conditionsin the planned boating area.Ensure there is enough fuel on boardfor the planned trip. Always verify fuellevel before use and during the ride.Apply the principle of 1/3 of the fuelto reach your destination, 1/3 to re-turn, and keep 1/3 in reserve. Allowfor changes due to adverse weather orother delays.

Operator and Passenger Awareness

Read and understand all safety labelson the Sea-Doo PWC, the Operator'sGuide, all other safety documents, andwatch the SAFETY DVD video beforeoperating the PWC.Respect applicable laws. Check localand federal boating laws applicableto the waterways where you intendto use your watercraft. Learn the lo-cal navigation rules. Know and under-stand the applicable navigation system(such as buoys and signs).Remember that sun, wind, fatigue orillness may impair your judgement andreaction time.Operation of this PWC by a person un-der 16 years of age, or a person with adisability that impairs vision, reactiontime, judgment, or operation of thecontrols is NOT recommended.Always properly use the tether cordwhen operating the watercraft and en-sure that all passengers are familiarwith its use.Ensure that any operator and all pas-sengers know how to swim and howto reboard the PWC from the water.Boarding in deep water can be stren-uous. Practice in chest-deep waterbefore operating or embarking yourwatercraft in deep water. Ensure thatany operator and all passengers wear aPFD at all times and take extra precau-tions when boating.Never turn handlebar while someoneis near the rear of watercraft. Keepaway from steering moving parts (noz-zle, iBR gate, linkages, etc.).Do not start the engine or operate thewatercraft if anyone is in the waternearby, or near the rear of the water-craftBe aware of the iBR gate movementwhen starting the engine, shuttingdown the engine or using the iBR lever.Automatic movement of the gate maysqueeze fingers or toes of people tak-ing a hold on the back or your PWC.



The operator and passenger(s) shouldbe properly seated and have a firm gripon a handhold before starting the wa-tercraft, and at all times when the wa-tercraft is in motion. All passenger(s)should be instructed to use the hand-holds provided, or to hold on to thewaist of the person in front of them.Each passenger must be able to simul-taneously place both feet firmly flatagainst each footwell when properlyseated. When going over waves, pas-senger(s) may raise their body slightlyoff the seat to absorb the shocks withtheir legs.When braking or decelerating, ridersmust brace themselves against the de-celeration force to prevent from mov-ing forward on the watercraft and los-ing balance.When accelerating on a PWC with apassenger(s), whether from a com-plete stop or while underway, alwaysdo so progressively. Fast accelerationmay cause your passenger(s) to loosetheir balance and fall rearward off thewatercraft. Make sure that your pas-senger(s) are aware of or can anticipateany rapid acceleration.Severe internal injuries can occur ifwater is forced into body cavities as aresult of falling into water or being neara jet thrust nozzle. Consequently, thewearing of a wet suit bottom is highlyrecommended.Keep away from the intake grate whilethe engine is running. Items suchas long hair, loose clothing, or PFDstraps can become entangled in mov-ing parts.If the throttle lever is depressed whilebraking, the iBR system will disable thethrottle command by the user. Whenreleasing the iBR lever while the throt-tle lever is still depressed, the throt-tle command will regain control andgenerate an acceleration after a shortdelay. Release throttle lever if acceler-ation is not needed.

Before reboarding, make sure engineis off and the tether cord is removedfrom the engine cut-off switch.To prevent accidental starting, alwaysremove the tether cord from the en-gine cut-off switch when swimmersare boarding, nearby, or during removalof any weeds or debris from the intakegrate.On a PWC, never place your feet andlegs in the water to aid turning.

Operation by MinorsMinors should always be supervisedby an adult whenever operating a wa-tercraft. Laws regarding the minimumage and licensing requirements of mi-nors may vary from one jurisdiction toanother. Be sure to contact the localboating authorities for information re-garding the legal operation of a PWC inthe intended jurisdiction of use. BRPrecommends a minimum operator ageof 16 years old.

Drugs and Alcohol

Never use your PWC with drugs oralcohol. Like driving a car, driving awatercraft requires the operator to besober, attentive and alert. Operating awatercraft while intoxicated or underthe influence of drugs is not only dan-gerous, but it is also a Federal offensecarrying a significant penalty. Theselaws are vigorously enforced. The useof drugs and alcohol, singly or in com-bination, decreases reaction time, im-pedes judgment, impairs vision, andinhibits your ability to safely operate awatercraft.

WARNINGAlcohol consumption and boat-ing do not mix! Operating withthe use of drugs or alcohol endan-gers the lives of your passengers,other boaters, and yourself. Fed-eral laws prohibit operating a wa-tercraft with the use of drugs oralcohol.



Water Sports and Towing

WARNINGAvoid personal injury! Your PWCis not designed for and should notbe used for towing or pulling any-thing, or for any water sports.

HypothermiaHypothermia, the loss of body heatresulting in a subnormal body temper-ature, is a significant cause of death inboating accidents. After an individualhas succumbed to hypothermia, he orshe will lose consciousness and thendrown.PFDs can increase survival time be-cause of the insulation they provide.Naturally, the warmer the water, theless insulation one will require. Whenoperating in cold water (below 4°C(40°F)) consideration should be givento using a coat or jacket style PFD asthey cover more body area than thevest style PFDs.Some points to remember about hy-pothermia protection:– While afloat in the water, do not at-

tempt to swim unless it is to reacha nearby watercraft, fellow sur-vivor, or a floating object onto whichyou can lean or climb. Unneces-sary swimming increases the rateof body heat loss. In cold water,drown-proof methods that requireputting your head in the water arenot recommended. Keep your headout of the water. This will greatlylessen heat loss and increase yoursurvival time.

– Maintain a positive attitude aboutyour survival and rescue. This willimprove your chances of extendingyour survival time until you can berescued. Your will to live does makea difference!

– If there is more than one personin the water, huddling together isrecommended. This action tends toreduce the rate of heat loss and thusincrease the survival time.

– Always wear your PFD. It won't helpyou fight off the effects of hypother-mia if you don't have it on when yougo into the water.

Safe Boating CoursesMany countries recommend or requirea boating safety course. Check withyour local competent authorities.Check local and federal boating lawsapplicable to the waterways whereyou intend to use your watercraft.Learn the local navigation rules. Knowand understand the applicable naviga-tion system (such as buoys and signs).


ACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES (iCONTROL)

IntroductionNOTE: Some functions or features de-scribed in this section may not apply toevery PWC model, or may be availableas an option.iControlTM (intelligent Control sys-tems) provides an environmentwhereby the operator can controlmany systems without taking hishands off the handlebars.All controls are at the operator's fingertips and activated by pressing a buttonor pulling a lever. The operator's atten-tion can thus remain focused on thewater and driving the watercraft.Each control is electronic and providesa command signal to an electronicmodule whose function is to assureproper operation of its system withinset parameters.The various systems grouped underiControl are the:– iTCTM (intelligent Throttle Control)– iBR (intelligent Brake and Reverse)– O.T.A.S. (Off Throttle Assisted

Steering).These systems function together toprovide improved watercraft responseto operator inputs and increased ma-neuverability and control.It is extremely important for operatorsto read all information contained in thisoperator's guide so as to become fa-miliar with this watercraft, its systems,controls, capabilities and limitations.

iTC (intelligent ThrottleControl)The system uses an electronic throttlecontrol (ETC) that provides commandsignals to the ECM (Engine ControlModule). With this system, there is noneed for a traditional throttle cable.The iTC allows the following operatingmodes:– Sport mode– ECO mode.

The O.T.A.S.TM (Off Throttle AssistedSteering) is also controlled by the iTC.

Sport Mode

In sport mode, maximum enginepower is available throughout the en-gine operational range.Refer to OPERATING MODES subsec-tion for detailed instructions.

ECO Mode

When ECO mode is selected (fueleconomy mode), engine RPM is lim-ited whereby an optimal cruisingspeed is maintained in order to reducefuel consumption.Refer to OPERATING MODES subsec-tion for detailed instructions.

O.T.A.S. TM System(Off-Throttle Assisted Steering)

The O.T.A.S. (Off-Throttle AssistedSteering) system provides additionalmaneuverability in off-throttle situa-tions.The O.T.A.S. system is electronicallyactivated when the operator initiates afull turn and releases the throttle at thesame time.

LimitationsThe O.T.A.S. system cannot help youmaintain control or prevent collisionsin all situations.Refer to OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSsubsection for details.

Learning Key Modes

The Sea-DooTM learning key limits thespeed of the watercraft therefore en-abling first time users and less expe-rienced operators to learn how to op-erate the watercraft while gaining thenecessary confidence and control.


ACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES (iCONTROL)

LimitationsThe ability of a novice to operate thewatercraft can be exceeded evenwhen a learning key is used.Refer to OPERATING MODES subsec-tion for details.

iBR (intelligent Brake andReverse System)This watercraft uses an electronicallycontrolled braking and reverse systemcalled the iBR system (intelligent Brakeand Reverse).The iBR module controls the positionof the iBR gate to provide:– Forward– Reverse– Neutral– Braking.The operator commands the positionof the iBR gate using either the throttlelever for forward position, or the iBRlever for neutral, reverse, and for thebraking function.NOTE: The iBR lever can only be usedto command a change in the gate posi-tion if the engine is running.Using the iBR system significantly re-duces the stopping distance of thiswatercraft and can increase its maneu-verability as it can be used in a straightline, in a turn, at high or low speeds, orto propel the watercraft in reverse fordocking or maneuvering in very closequarters.Under ideal conditions, experiencedoperators were consistently able toreduce the stopping distance of a wa-tercraft equipped with an iBR systemby approximately 33%, from an initialspeed of 80 km/h (50 MPH).

Limitations

Even when equipped with an iBR sys-tem, watercraft do not have the abilityof land based vehicles.

Stopping distance will vary notably de-pending on initial speed, load, wind,current, water conditions and theamount of braking.The iBR system has no effect on therearward motion.It cannot prevent your watercraft fromdrifting in current or wind.

WARNING

– It is important to inform theoperator of a watercraft whointends to follow in a convoyformation, of the braking andmaneuvering capability of yourPWC, what the plume of waterindicates, and that a greater dis-tance must be maintained be-tween watercraft.

– Be aware that other boats fol-lowing or operating in closeproximity may not be able tostop as quickly.


SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Required SafetyEquipmentThe operator and the passenger(s)must wear an approved Personal Flota-tion Device (PDF) that is suitable forPWC use.Operator and passenger(s) shouldhave ready access to shatterproofglasses should riding conditions orpersonal preference warrant.Wind, water spray and speed maycause a person's eyes to water andcreate blurred vision.As the owner of the watercraft, youare responsible for assuring that allrequired safety equipment is aboard.You should also consider supplying ad-ditional equipment as needed for yoursafety and that of your passengers.Check state and local regulations aboutrequired safety equipment.Safety equipment required by regula-tions is mandatory. If local regulationsrequire additional equipment, it mustbe approved by a competent authority.Minimum requirements include thefollowing:– Personal flotation devices (PFDs)– A buoyant heaving line of 15 m

(50 ft) minimum– A watertight flashlight or approved

flares– Signaling device– Sound producing devices (air horn or

whistle).

Recommended Protective Gear

The operator and passenger(s) ofPWCs must wear protective gear, in-cluding:– A wet suit bottom, or thick tightly

woven and snug fitting clothing thatprovides equivalent protection. Asan example, thin bike shorts wouldnot be appropriate. Severe inter-nal injuries can occur if water isforced into body cavities as a re-sult of falling in the water or be-ing near jet thrust nozzle. Normalswimwear does not adequately pro-tect against forceful entry of waterinto the lower male or female bodyopening(s).

– Footwear, gloves, safety gogglesor glasses are also recommended.Some type of lightweight, flexiblefoot protection is recommended.This will help reduce possible injury,should you step on sharp underwa-ter objects.

Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs)

Each person on a recreational water-craft must wear a personal flotationdevice (PFD) at all times. Ensure thatthese PFDs meet your country's regu-lations.


SAFETY EQUIPMENT

A PFD provides buoyancy to help keepthe head and face above the water, andto help maintain a satisfactory body po-sition while in the water. Body weightand age should be considered whenselecting a PFD. The buoyancy pro-vided by the PFD should support yourweight in water. The size of the PFDshould be appropriate for the wearer.Body weight and chest size are com-mon methods used to size PFDs. It isyour responsibility to ensure that youhave the proper number and types ofPFDs on board to comply with federaland local regulations, and that yourpassengers know where they are andhow to use them.

PFD TypesThere are five types of approved PFDs.PFD Type I, Wearable, has the greatestrequired buoyancy. Its design allowsfor turning most unconscious personsin the water from face down position toa vertical or slightly backward, face-upposition. It can greatly increase thechances of survival. Type I is mosteffective for all waters, especially off-shore when rescue may be delayed. Itis also the most effective in rough wa-ters.

��#�

TYPE I — WEARABLE

PFD Type II, Wearable, turns itswearer in the same way as Type I, butnot as effectively. The Type Il does notturn as many persons under the sameconditions as a Type I. You may preferto use this PFD where there is a prob-

ability of quick rescue such as in areaswhere other people are commonly in-volved in water activities.

��$�

TYPE II — WEARABLE

PFD Type III, Wearable, allows wear-ers to place themselves in a verticalor slightly backward position. It doesnot turn the wearer. It maintains thewearer in a vertical or slightly back-ward position and has no tendencyto turn the wearer face down. It hasthe same buoyancy as a Type Il PFDand may be appropriate in areas whereother people are commonly involved inwater activities.

��

TYPE III — WEARABLE

PFD Type V, Wearable, must be worn.When inflated, it provides buoyancyequivalent to Type I, Il or III PFDs.When it is deflated, however, it maynot support some people.

TYPE V — WEARABLE

Helmets

Some Important ConsiderationsHelmets are designed to offer somedegree of protection in case of im-pacts to the head. In most motorizedsports, the benefits of wearing a hel-met clearly outweigh the drawbacks.However, in the case of motorized wa-tersports such as riding personal wa-tercraft, this is not necessarily true asthere are some particular risks associ-ated with the water.

BenefitsA helmet helps to reduce the risk ofinjury in case of a head impact againsta hard surface such as another craft inthe case of a collision. Similarly, a hel-met with a chin guard might help pre-vent injuries to the face, jaw or teeth.

RisksOn the other hand, in some situationswhen falling off the watercraft, hel-mets have a tendency to catch thewater, like a “bucket”, and put severestresses on the neck or spine. Thiscould result in choking, severe or per-manent neck or spine injury or death.Helmets may also interfere with pe-ripheral vision and hearing, or increasefatigue which, could contribute to in-crease the risk of a collision.

Weighing the Risks vs BenefitsIn order to decide whether or not youshould wear a helmet, it is best to con-sider the particular environment youwill be riding in, as well as other fac-tors such as personal experience. Willthere be a lot of traffic on the water?What is your riding style?

The Bottom LineSince each option minimizes somerisks, but increases others, beforeeach ride you must decide whetherto wear or not wear a helmet based onyour particular situation.If you decide to wear a helmet, youmust then decide what type is themost appropriate for the circum-stances. Look for helmets that meetDOT or Snell standards, and if possi-ble, choose one designed for motor-ized watersports.

Additional RecommendedEquipmentIt is recommended that you acquireadditional equipment for safe, enjoy-able cruising. This list, which is not allinclusive, includes items you shouldconsider acquiring.– Local map– First aid kit– Tow rope– Flares– Mooring cords.A cellular telephone in a waterproofbag or container has also been foundto be beneficial to boaters when in dis-tress or just for contacting someoneon shore.


PRACTICE EXERCISES

It is always a good idea to practice andget familiar with all controls, functionsand handling characteristics of yourwatercraft before venturing on the wa-ter.Always secure the tether cord to theengine cut-off switch and the clip toyour PFD or a wrist strap.

Where to PracticeExercisesFind a suitable area to practice the ex-ercises. Ensure the area meet the fol-lowing requirements:– No traffic– No obstacles– No swimmers– No current– Ample space to maneuver– Water depth is adequate.

Practice ExercisesPractice alone the following exercises.

Turning

Practice turning in circles in both di-rections at slow speed. When com-fortable with the exercise, increasedifficulty by making some figure 8.When this is mastered, repeat theabove exercises but at increasedspeed.

Stopping Distances

Practice stopping the watercraft ina straight line at various speeds andbraking force.Remember that watercraft speed,load, water conditions, current andwind also affect stopping distances.

Reverse

Practice reverse operation to learnhow the watercraft operates in reverseand reacts with steering inputs.NOTE: Always perform this exerciseat slow speeds.

Avoiding an Obstacle

Practice obstacle avoidance (choose avirtual point on the water) by steeringthe watercraft and maintaining throt-tle.Repeat exercise, but this time releasethrottle while turning.NOTE: With this exercise, you willlearn that you need throttle to steer thewatercraft in a different direction.

Docking

Practice docking using the throttle, iBRlever and the steering to become famil-iar with the response of the PWC, andto develop good control skills.NOTE: Remember that steering direc-tion is reversed when backing.

Important Factors Not toNeglectIn addition, always remember that thefollowing conditions have a direct im-pact on how your watercraft will be-have and respond to different inputs:– Loads– Currents– Wind– Water conditions.Make sure to be alert to these condi-tions, and adapt accordingly. If pos-sible, practice further in these condi-tions.For delicate maneuvers, the best ad-vice is always to try to reduce yourspeed to a minimum.


NAVIGATION RULES

Operating RulesOperating a watercraft can be com-pared with driving on unmarked high-ways and roads. To prevent collisionsor avoid other boaters, a system of op-erating rules must be followed. It’s notonly common sense... it’s the law!Generally keep to your right and safelyavoid collisions by keeping a safe dis-tance from other watercraft, boats,people and objects.The following illustration identifies dif-ferent parts of a boat that are usedas directional reference points, thebow being the front of the boat. Theport side of boat (left side) is visuallyidentifiable by a RED light off the bow,and the starboard side (right side) by aGREEN light.

buoy, or to which channel you can con-tinue. They may also indicate whetheryou are entering a restricted or con-trolled area such as a no wake or lowspeed zone. They may also indicatehazards or pertinent boating informa-tion. Markers may be located on shoreor on the water. They can also indi-cate speed limits, no power craft orboating, anchorage and other usefulinformation. (The shape of each typeof marker will provide assistance).Make sure you know and understandthe navigation system applicable tothe waterways where you intend touse the watercraft.

Collision Avoidance

Do not release the throttle when try-ing to steer away from an obstacle.Engine power and jet pump thrust isrequired to steer the watercraft.Always keep a constant lookout forother water users, other boats or ob-jects, especially when turning. Be alertfor conditions that may limit your visi-bility or block your vision of others.Respect the rights of other recreation-ists and/or bystanders and alwayskeep a safe distance from all otherwatercraft, boats, people and objects.Do not wake or wave jump, ride thesurf line or attempt to spray or splashothers with your watercraft. You maymisjudge the ability of the watercraftor your own riding skills and strike aboat, watercraft or person.This watercraft has the capability ofturning more sharply than other boats,however, unless in an emergency, donot negotiate sharp, high speed turns.Such maneuvers make it hard for oth-ers to avoid you or understand whereyou are going. Also, you and/or yourpassenger(s) could be thrown from thewatercraft.Unlike most other watercraft, thisPWC has a braking system (iBR).

When operating an iBR equipped wa-tercraft, be aware that other boats fol-lowing or operating in close proximitymay not be able to stop as quickly.When at speed and the brake is first ap-plied, a plume of water will shoot up inthe air behind the watercraft indicatinga braking manoeuvre.It is important to inform the operator ofa watercraft who intends to follow ina convoy formation of the braking andmaneuvering capability of your PWC,what the plume of water indicates, andthat a greater distance should be main-tained between both of you.Stopping distance will vary dependingon initial speed, load, wind and waterconditions.Although the preferable maneuver toavoid an obstacle is to steer away whileapplying throttle, the iBR can also beused by fully braking and turning in theappropriate direction to avoid the ob-stacle.


FUELING

Fueling Procedure

WARNINGFuel is flammable and explosiveunder certain conditions. Alwayswork in a well ventilated area. Donot smoke or allow open flames orsparks in the vicinity.

1. Turn off engine.

WARNINGAlways stop the engine before re-fueling.

2. Do not allow anyone to remain onthe watercraft.

3. Tie watercraft securely to the fuel-ing pier.

4. Have a fire extinguisher close athand.

5. Open the front storage compart-ment cover.

6. Slowly unscrew the fuel cap coun-terclockwise.

smo2012-003-001_a

TYPICAL1. Fuel tank cap

WARNINGFuel tank may be pressurized, fuelvapors may be released while re-moving the fuel tank cap.

7. Insert the gas pump spout into thefiller neck and fill up the fuel tank.

WARNINGTo prevent fuel back-flow, fill tankslowly so the air can escape fromthe fuel tank.

8. Stop filling immediately after the re-lease of the gas pump nozzle handleand wait a moment before remov-ing the spout. Do not retract the gaspump nozzle to put more fuel in fueltank.

WARNINGDo not overfill or top off the fueltank and leave the watercraft in thesun. As temperature increases,fuel expands and may overflow.

9. Reinstall fuel tank cap and fullytighten it clockwise.

WARNINGAlways wipe off any fuel spillagefrom the watercraft.

10. After refueling, always open theseat and ensure there is no gaso-line vapor odor inside the enginecompartment.

WARNINGDo not start watercraft if gasolineor gasoline vapor odor is present.


FUELING

Fuel RequirementsNOTICE Always use fresh gaso-

line. Gasoline will oxidize; the re-sult is loss of octane, volatile com-pounds, and the production of gumand varnish deposits which candamage the fuel system.

Alcohol fuel blending varies by coun-try and region. Your vehicle has beendesigned to operate using the recom-mended fuels, however, be aware ofthe following:– Use of fuel containing alcohol above

the percentage specified by gov-ernment regulations is not recom-mended and can result in the fol-lowing problems in the fuel systemcomponents:• Starting and operating difficul-

ties.• Deterioration of rubber or plastic

parts.• Corrosion of metal parts.• Damage to internal engine parts.

– Inspect frequently for the presenceof fuel leaks or other fuel systemabnormalities if you suspect thepresence of alcohol in gasoline ex-ceeds the current government reg-ulations.

– Alcohol blended fuels attract andhold moisture which may lead tofuel phase separation and can resultin engine performance problems orengine damage.

Recommended Fuel

Use premium unleaded gasoline withan AKI (RON+MON)/2 octane rating of91, or an RON octane rating of 95.

NOTICE Never experiment withother fuels. Engine or fuel systemdamages may occur with the use ofan inadequate fuel.

Inside North America

NOTICE Do NOT use fuel from fuelpumps labeled E85.

Use of fuel labeled E15 is prohibited byU.S. EPA Regulations.


TRAILERING INFORMATION

NOTICE The span of the trailerwood bunks including bunk widthshould be adjusted to provide sup-port throughout the full length of thehull. The ends of both trailer woodbunks should not exceed the lengthof the watercraft.

Ensure the trailer wheels are posi-tioned so that the center of gravity ofthe watercraft is slightly ahead of thewheels to properly support the weightof the watercraft.

WARNINGNever tip this watercraft on end fortransporting. We recommend thatyou carry the watercraft in its nor-mal operating position.

Check the applicable laws and regula-tions in your area concerning towinga trailer, especially for the followingitems:– Brake system– Tow vehicle weight– Mirrors.Take the following precautions whentowing the watercraft:– Respect tow vehicle maximum

weight capacity and the tongueweight capacity as recommendedby manufacturer.

– Tie the watercraft to both front andrear (bow/stern) eyelets so that it isfirmly secured on the trailer. Use ad-ditional tie-downs if necessary.

– Ensure fuel tank cap, front stor-age compartment cover, glove boxcover and seat are properly latched.

– Observe trailering safety precau-tions.

NOTICE Do not route ropes ortie-downs over the seat or grabhandle as they could be perma-nently damaged. Wrap ropes ortie-downs with rags or similar pro-tectors where they can come intocontact with the watercraft body.

WARNINGMake sure seat is securely latchedprior to trailering.

A Sea-Doo cover can protect the wa-tercraft, particularly when driving ondirt roads, to prevent dirt entry throughthe air inlet openings.

WARNINGWhen trailering the watercraft,NEVER leave any equipment onthe watercraft.

Collisions result in more INJURIES AND DEATHS than any other type of accident for personal watercraft (PWC).TO AVOID COLLISIONS: SCAN CONSTANTLY for people, objects, and other watercraft. Be alert for conditions that limit your visibility or block your vision of others.

OPERATE DEFENSIVELY at safe speeds and keep a safe distance away from people, objects, and other watercraft.• Do not follow directly behind PWCs or other boats.• Do not go near others to spray or splash them with water.• Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that

make it hard for others to avoid you or understand where you are going.• Avoid areas with submerged objects or shallow water.

TAKE EARLY ACTION to avoid collisions. Remember, PWCs and other boats do not have brakes.DO NOT RELEASE THROTTLE WHEN TRYING TO STEER away from objects – you need throttle to steer. Always check throttle and steering controls for proper operation before starting PWC.

Follow navigation rules and province / state and local laws that apply to PWCs. See Operator's Guide for more information.

How to Engage Neutral

WARNINGThe drive shaft and impeller arealways turning when the engine isrunning, even in neutral position.Keep away from the propulsionsystem of the watercraft.

When the watercraft is first started,the iBR system automatically sets theneutral position by default.To engage neutral from forward posi-tion, tap the iBR lever.To engage neutral from reverse posi-tion, release the iBR lever and throttlelever.

How to Trim the Neutral Position ofthe iBR

When in NEUTRAL, if the watercraftcreeps forward or backward, the iBRsystem may be trimmed.NOTE: Movement of the watercraftwhen operating in neutral may be dueto wind or water current.If the watercraft is moving forwards,momentarily press the DOWN button.If the watercraft is moving backwards,momentarily press the UP button.

TYPICAL - iBR LEVER1. iBR lever2. Lever released position3. Approximate 25% position4. Operating range

When operating the iBR lever in re-verse mode, the throttle lever canbe used to control engine RPM, andthus the amount of reverse thrust pro-duced.By modulating both the iBR and throt-tle levers simultaneously, reversethrust can be more precisely con-trolled. Too much RPM will createwater turbulence and reduce reverseefficiency.NOTE: Engine power will be reducedto idle whenever the iBR lever positionis changed.Release the iBR lever to end reverseoperation.To stop rearward motion after iBR leverrelease, apply enough throttle to stoprearward movement.

WARNINGThe brake function has no effectwhen travelling in reverse.

Available engine power is limited inreverse mode, which limits reversespeed.

WARNINGOnly use reverse at slow speedand for the shortest time possible.Always ensure the path behindis clear of objects, obstacles andpeople.

When operating in reverse, turn thehandlebar in the opposite directionthat you want to move the rear of thewatercraft.For example, to steer the rear of thewatercraft to port (left), turn the han-dlebar to starboard (right).

TYPICAL - STEERING DIRECTION REVERSEDWHEN BACKING

CAUTION Steering directionin reverse is opposite of forward.To steer the stern to port (left) in re-verse, turn the handlebar to star-board (right). To steer the stern tostarboard (right), turn the handle-bar to port (left). Reverse operationshould be practiced in open watersin order to become fully familiar withthe controls and watercraft handlingcharacteristics before operating inclose quarters.

How to Engage and UseBrake

WARNING

– The engine must be running tobe able to use the brake.

– The brake is only applicablewhen operating in forwardmovement, it has no effect onrearward motion.

– The brake cannot prevent yourPWC from drifting due to cur-rent or wind.

The braking function can only be en-gaged during forward operation at orabove the threshold speed of 8 km/h(5 MPH).Braking is engaged and controlledwhen the iBR lever on the LH handle-bar is pulled in at least 25% of its travel.

smo2012-003-006_a

TYPICAL - iBR LEVER1. iBR lever2. Lever released position3. Approximate 25% position4. Operating range

WARNINGBraking should be practiced inopen waters and at gradually in-creasing speeds in order to be-come fully familiar with the con-trols and watercraft handling char-acteristics.

When iBR lever is applied, the throttlelever command is overridden and en-gine throttle control is now dependanton the iBR lever position. Braking canthus be modulated by using only theiBR lever.Watercraft deceleration is proportionalto the braking force. The more the iBRlever is pulled in, the greater the brak-ing force applied.NOTE: Be careful to gradually actuatethe iBR lever to adjust intensity of thebraking force and simultaneously re-lease the throttle lever.

CAUTION When braking, rid-ers must brace themselves againstthe deceleration force to preventfrom moving forward on the water-craft and losing balance. The oper-ator should always keep both handson the handlebars, and all passen-gers should maintain a firm grip of ahandhold or the waist of the personin front of them.

WARNINGStopping distance will vary de-pending on initial speed, load,wind, number of riders, water con-ditions, and the amount of brakingpower commanded by the oper-ator. Always adjust your ridingstyle accordingly.

When the watercraft slows to lessthan 8 km/h (5 MPH), braking modeends and reverse mode is engaged.Release the iBR lever once the water-craft is stopped. Otherwise, a rear-ward movement will be initiated.

CAUTION As the watercraftslows to a stop, the wake createdby the watercraft will catch up andtend to push the watercraft forward.Ensure there are no obstacles orbathers in the direction of travel.

_______________ 67


If the throttle lever is still pulled inwhen releasing the iBR lever, the wa-tercraft will accelerate forward after ashort delay. Acceleration will be pro-portional to the throttle lever position.

WARNINGIf forward acceleration is not de-sired when the brake lever is re-leased, release the throttle lever.

When at speed and the brake is firstapplied, a plume of water will shoot upin the air behind the watercraft whichmay cause the operator of a followingwatercraft to momentarily loose sightof your PWC.

WARNING

– It is important to inform theoperator of a watercraft whointends to follow in a convoyformation, of the braking andmaneuvering capability of yourPWC, what the plume of waterindicates, and that a greater dis-tance must be maintained be-tween watercraft.

– Be aware that other boats fol-lowing or operating in closeproximity may not be able tostop as quickly.

Braking in a Turn

Throttle must be applied for turning toensure directional control. Howeverbraking can be initiated during a turnusing the iBR lever as previously de-scribed. Get ready to maintain yourbalance while the wake is crossingyour PWC.

CAUTION As the watercraftslows to a stop while braking in aturn, the wake created by the water-craft will catch up and tend to pushthe watercraft sideways. Be pre-pared to maintain balance as thewake crossed the watercraft.

How to Steer theWatercraft

��*+�/�

Turning the handlebar pivots the jetpump nozzle which controls the water-craft direction. Turning the handlebarto the right will turn the watercraft tothe right, turning the handlebar to theleft turns the watercraft to the left.The throttle should be applied to turnthe watercraft.

WARNINGThrottle should be applied andhandlebar turned to change the di-rection of the watercraft. Steeringefficiency will differ depending onthe amount of throttle applied, thenumber of passengers, the load,the water conditions and the en-vironmental factors such as thewind.

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.

WARNINGDirectional control is reducedwhen the throttle is released andlost when the engine is off.

68 ______________


The watercraft behaves differentlywith a passenger and requires greaterskill. The passenger(s) should alwaysgrip the seat strap, the molded grabhandle, or the waist of the personahead of them. Reduce speed andavoid sharp turns. Avoid choppy waterconditions when carrying a passenger.

Tight Turns and Other SpecialManeuvers

Any tight turns or special maneuversthat will cause the air inlet openings tobe kept under water for a prolongedtime, water will seep into the bilge.Combustion engines need air to oper-ate; consequently this watercraft can-not be totally watertight.

NOTICE If the air inlet openingsare kept under water, such as turningconstantly in tight circles, plungingthe bow through waves, or capsiz-ing the watercraft, water may seepinto the bilge, which may cause se-vere damage to internal parts of theengine. Refer to the WARRANTYsection contained in this guide.

O.T.A.S.TM System(Off-Throttle Assisted Steering)

The O.T.A.S. (Off-Throttle AssistedSteering) system provides additionalmaneuverability in off-throttle situa-tions.If the driver releases the throttle to idlewhen initiating a full turn, the O.T.A.S.system will be electronically activated,and will slightly increase engine speedto allow completion of the turn.When the handlebar is brought backtowards its center position, the throt-tle reverts to idle.We recommend that you familiarizeyourself with this feature during yourfirst ride.

How to Use the VariableTrim System (VTS)The variable trim system (VTS)changes the vertical position of the jetpump nozzle to provide the operatorwith a fast, effective system to com-pensate for load, thrust, riding positionand water conditions. Correctly ad-justed, it can improve handling, reduceporpoising, and position the watercraftat its best riding attitude to attain maxi-mum performance.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 become familiar with trim adjust-ment and its effects.When the nozzle is positioned in anupward angle, the water jet directs thebow of the watercraft upward. This po-sition is used to optimize high speed.When the nozzle is directed down-ward, the bow is forced downwardand increases 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.NOTE: VTS position is indicated on abar gauge in the information center.

General OperationRecommendations

Rough Water or Poor VisibilityOperation

Avoid operation in these conditions. Ifyou must do so, proceed with cautionusing minimum speed.

Crossing Waves

The operator must grip the handlebarfirmly and keep both feet on the foot-boards.The passenger must grip the hand-holds with both hands and keep bothfeet on the footboards.Reduce speed.

72 ______________


Always be prepared to steer and main-tain your balance as necessary.When going over waves, raise yourbody slightly off the seat to absorb theshocks with your legs.When crossing wakes, always keep asafe distance from watercraft ahead.

WARNINGWhen crossing wakes, slow down.Operator and passenger(s) shouldbrace themselves and adopt asemi-standing position to helpabsorb the bumps. Do not jumpwaves or wakes.

Stopping/Docking

When the throttle is released, the wa-tercraft is slowed by water drag againstthe hull. The stopping distance willvary depending on the watercraft size,weight, speed, water surface condi-tion, presence and direction of windand current.

��*��%�

The operator should practice in openwaters at various speeds to becomefamiliar with the stopping distancesunder different conditions.

Models Without iBR

WARNINGThe engine must stop running forthe watercraft to come to a fullstop.

Models with iBR

WARNINGAlways practice braking in openwaters ensuring there are no wa-tercraft or boats in your immediatevicinity, especially astern. Otherusers of the waterways may not beable to maneuver or stop in timeto avoid you should you unexpect-edly come to a full stop in front ofthem.

The iBR system can also be used forslowing down or for stopping thewatercraft more quickly, and for in-creasing maneuverability especiallywhen docking. Stopping using theiBR system in a straight line and in aturn should be practiced extensivelyto become familiar with the handlingcharacteristics of the watercraft underpartial or full braking conditions.When at speed and the brake is firstapplied, a plume of water will shootup in the air behind the watercraft andmay cause the operator of a followingwatercraft to momentarily loose sightof your PWC.

WARNINGIt is important to inform the oper-ator of a watercraft who intends tofollow in a convoy formation of thebraking and maneuvering capabil-ity of your PWC, what the plume ofwater indicates, and that a greaterdistance should be maintained be-tween both of you.

_______________ 73


The operator should also practice dock-ing with an imaginary dock using thevarious controls available (iBR leverand throttle lever).Release the throttle at a sufficient dis-tance before the expected landingarea.Reduce speed to idle.Maneuver using a combination of theiBR lever and throttle lever, shiftingto neutral, reverse, or forward as re-quired.Remember that when operating in re-verse, steering direction is reversed.Turning the handlebars to the left willmove the stern to the right when back-ing up, and vice-versa.

WARNINGDirectional control is reducedwhen the throttle is releasedand/or when engine is off. Steer-ing direction is reversed when op-erating the watercraft in reverse.

Beaching

NOTICE It is not recommended torun the watercraft to the beach.

Drive slowly towards the beach andshut off the engine before the water isless than 90 cm (3 ft) deep under thelowest rear portion of the hull. Thenpull the watercraft to the beach.

NOTICE Riding the watercraft inshallow water may result in damageto the propulsion system compo-nents. Always shut off the enginebefore the water is less than 90 cm(3 ft) deep, and never use reverse orbraking.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES

NOTICE The longer the delay be-fore you have the engine serviced,the greater the damage to the en-gine will be. Failure to have the en-gine properly serviced may causesevere engine damage.

Towing the Watercraft inWaterSpecial precautions should be takenwhen towing a Sea-Doo watercraft inwater.The maximum recommended towingspeed is 24 km/h (15 MPH).This will prevent the exhaust systemfrom filling with water, which may leadto water being injected into and fillingthe engine. Without the engine run-ning, there isn't any exhaust pressureto push the water out the exhaust out-let.

NOTICE Failure to follow theseinstructions may result in damageto the engine. If you must tow astranded watercraft in water, be surenot to exceed the maximum towingspeed of 24 km/h (15 MPH).

If you have to tow the watercraft fasterthan the maximum recommendedspeed, clamp the cross over hose.

ENGINE EMISSIONS INFORMATION

Manufacturer'sResponsibilityBeginning with 1999 model year en-gines, PWC manufacturers of marineengines must determine the exhaustemission levels for each engine horse-power family and certify these engineswith the United States of America En-vironmental Protection Agency (EPA).An emissions control information label,showing emission levels and enginespecifications, must be placed on eachwatercraft at the time of manufacture.

Dealer's ResponsibilityWhen performing service on all 1999and more recent Sea-Doo watercraftthat carry an emissions control infor-mation label, adjustments must bekept within published factory specifi-cations.Replacement or repair of any emissionrelated component must be executedin a manner that maintains emissionlevels within the prescribed certifica-tion standards.Dealers are not to modify the engine inany manner that would alter the horse-power or allow emission levels to ex-ceed their predetermined factory spec-ifications.Exceptions include manufacturer'sprescribed changes, such as altitudeadjustments for example.

Owner ResponsibilityThe owner/operator is required to haveengine maintenance performed tomaintain emission levels within pre-scribed certification standards.The owner/operator is not to, andshould not allow anyone to modify theengine in any manner that would alterthe horsepower or allow emissionslevels to exceed their predeterminedfactory specifications.

EPA Emission RegulationsAll 1999 and more recent Sea-Doowatercraft manufactured by BRP arecertified to the EPA as conforming tothe requirements of the regulations forthe control of air pollution from newwatercraft engines. This certificationis contingent on certain adjustmentsbeing set to factory standards. Forthis reason, the factory procedure forservicing the product must be strictlyfollowed and, whenever practicable,returned to the original intent of thedesign.The responsibilities listed above aregeneral and in no way a complete list-ing of the rules and regulations per-taining to the EPA requirements onexhaust emissions for marine prod-ucts.

MONITORING SYSTEM

A system monitors the electronic com-ponents of the EMS (engine manage-ment system) iBR, and other compo-nents of the electrical system. When afault occurs, it sends visual messagesthrough the information center and/oraudible signals through a beeper to in-form you of a particular condition.A fault code may also be recorded.When a minor or transient fault oc-curs, the fault message and beeperwill cease automatically if the condi-tion that caused the fault does not ex-ist anymore.Releasing the throttle and letting theengine return to idle speed may allownormal operation to return. If this doesnot work, try removing the tether cordfrom the engine cut-off switch, waiting5 minutes, then restarting.The electronic system will react differ-ently depending on the fault type. If asevere failure occured, the engine maynot be allowed to be started. In othercases, the engine will operate in limphome mode (reduced speed).When a fault occurs, seek service froman authorized Sea-Doo dealer, repairshop, or person of your own choosingfor maintenance, repair, or replace-ment. Please refer to the US EPAEMISSIONS-RELATED WARRANTYcontained herein for information aboutwarranty claims.

Fault CodesWhen a fault occurs, a numerical faultcode may be recorded depending onthe fault type and system.These fault codes are used by au-thorized Sea-Doo dealers for trou-bleshooting the watercraft systemswhen comparing them to a fault list.Fault codes can be viewed in the in-formation center multifunction displayhowever, this function is only availableif a fault is still active.

If there is an active fault code, it maybe viewed by the operator on themultifunction display. The operatormay then choose to call his autho-rized Sea-Doo dealer to pass on thefault code. The dealer will then advisethe operator on the steps to take tosolve the problem, or to stop using thewatercraft and to seek service froman authorized Sea-Doo dealer, repairshop, or person of your own choosingfor maintenance, repair, or replace-ment.
