� SAFETY MEASURES

General� To fully appreciate the pleasures,

enjoyment and excitement of boat-ing there are some basic rules thatshould be observed and followed byany boater. Some rules may be newto you or covered in the PWC/Sportboat Safety Handbook or Safety Vid-eo, others may be common senseor obvious… irrespective, we askthat you please take a few minutesof your time to completely readthese safety instructions beforeyou operate your craft. Failure tofollow this safety information andsafe boating rules could result ininjury, including the possibility ofdeath to you, your passenger(s),or other water users.

� Become completely familiar withthe controls and operation of thecraft before embarking on your firsttrip or taking on a passenger(s). Ifyou have not had the opportunity todo so with your dealer, practice driv-ing solo in a suitable area and feelthe response of each control. Be ful-ly familiar with all controls beforeapplying the throttle above idlespeed. As its operator, you controland are responsible for the craft’ssafe operation.

Operation� Always perform the pre-operation

checks as specified in this guide. � Always keep in mind that as the

throttle lever is released to idle posi-tion, less directional control is avail-able. To turn the craft, both steer-ing and throttle are necessary.

� Like any other boats, this craft hasno brake. Stopping distance will varydepending on initial speed, load,wind, and water conditions. Practicestopping and docking in a safe, traf-fic free area to have an idea of howlong it will take to stop the craft un-der varying conditions. Do not re-lease throttle when trying to steeraway from objects. You need throt-tle to steer. Do not use the craft’sreverse, if so equipped, to stop.

� Ensure that all passengers knowhow to swim and how to reboardthe craft from the water.

� The operator and passenger(s)should be properly seated andwearing an approved PFD beforestarting or moving the craft and atall times when craft is in motion.

� Do not start or operate the craft if aperson(s) is seated on the sun deckor swim platform, or are nearby inthe water.

� The craft’s jet thrust can cause inju-ry. Always accelerate slowly.

� To prevent accidental starting or unau-thorized use, always detach the safe-ty lanyard from the craft especiallywhen swimmers are boarding ornearby, or during removal of anyweeds or debris from the intake grate.

� Riding with a passenger(s) or pull-ing other boats, tubes, skier orwakeboarder makes the craft han-dle differently and requires greaterskill. Do not overload the craft ortake on more passengers than des-ignated for the particular craft. Over-loading can affect maneuverability,stability and performance. Avoidadding on accessories, or equip-ment which may alter your controlof the craft. The craft may be fittedwith tow eyelets which can be usedto attach a ski rope. However, do notuse these eyelets or the craft’scleats to tow a parasail. Severe craftdamage may occur.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Launching/LoadingCAUTION: Before launching the craft,ensure the main battery cut-off switchis turned ON and the bilge plugs arefully screwed. After loading the craft, ensure themain battery cut-off switch is turnedOFF and the bilge plugs are remove todrain bilge.

TraileringRefer to the trailer or implement man-ufacturer instructions for proper ca-pacity, operation, maintenance, acces-sories and warranty.Check the regulations in your area con-cerning towing a trailer, especially thefollowing rules:– brake system– tow vehicle weight– mirrors.NOTE: An optional brake system isavailable for your trailer, see an autho-rized Sea-Doo dealer.

Take the following precautions whentrailering the craft:Tie the craft to both bow and stern(front/rear) eyelets so that it is firmlyretained on the trailer. Use additionaltie-downs if necessary.– Remove stern light (if installed).– Ensure that ski post is pushed down.– Ensure all storage compartment cov-

ers are properly latched.– A SEA-DOO cover can protect the

craft, particularly before driving ondirt roads, to prevent dirt entrythrough the air intake opening(s).

Observe trailering safety precautions.

Principle of OperationPropulsionEngine is directly coupled to a driveshaft which, in turn, rotates an impel-ler. This impeller is accurately adjustedin a housing where the water is drawnup from underneath the craft. Then,the water flows through the impellerto a venturi. The venturi acceleratesthe water and produces thrust tomove the craft. Pushing the throttle le-ver forward increases engine speedand therefore craft speed.

� WARNING

Always perform PRE-OPERATIONCHECKS before operating the craft.Become thoroughly familiar withall controls and the function ofeach. Should any control or in-struction be not fully understood,refer to an authorized Sea-Doodealer.

� WARNING

Whenever an engine is to be start-ed, the operator and passengersshould always be sitting in the craftwith the shift lever in neutral posi-tion and throttle lever in idle posi-tion.

NOTE: To obtain maximum efficiencyand control from the reverse, increaseengine speed to slightly above idle.Too much RPM will create water tur-bulence and reduce reverse efficiency.In reverse position, turn the steeringwheel in the opposite direction thatyou want to move the rear of the craft.For example, to steer the rear of thecraft to the left side, turn the steeringwheel to the right side.

SteeringTurning the steering wheel pivots thejet pump nozzle which controls thecraft direction. Turning the steeringclockwise will turn the craft to the rightand inversely.

TYPICAL

Above idle speed, the throttle must beapplied to turn the craft.

A craft needs some throttle to turn.Practice in a safe area applying thethrottle and turning away from animaginary object. This is a good colli-sion avoidance practice.

Low-Speed Steering Control SystemWhenever the throttle lever is in IDLEposition AND the steering wheel isapproaching the end of its rotation, theengine speed will be slightly accelerat-ed to increase the jet pump thrust.This helps steering control for low-speed navigation or when approaching/leaving a dock. For docking tips, referto STOPPING/ DOCKING section below.

Boarding from a DockAs with any craft, boarding should bedone carefully and engine should notbe running.When boarding from a dock, slowlyplace one foot on the craft deck near-est to the dock and then move the oth-er foot inside the craft. Push the craftaway from the dock.

TYPICAL

� WARNING

Shift lever should only be usedwhen the engine is idling.

� WARNING

SPECIAL PROCEDURE

Engine OverheatingCAUTION: If the monitoring beepercontinuously sounds, stop engineimmediately.Refer to M2 Jet Drive Operator‘s Guide.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 craft moves slowly due to re-duced 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.

The clogged area can be cleaned asdescribed in M2 Jet Drive Operator‘sGuide.

CAUTION: Avoid craft operation inweeded areas. If unavoidable, varycraft speed. Weeds tend to entanglemore at steady and slow speeds. In-spect water intake grate for damage.Refer to an authorized Sea-Doo deal-er for repair as necessary.

Capsized BoatThe boat is designed so that it shouldnot turn over easily due to its length andwidth. If the boat ever capsizes, remem-ber that it will continue to float, and it isusually best to remain with it, you willbe more easily located by others.
