Doin’it on your new Sea-Doo Sport Boat
Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a Sea-Doo sport boat. Whether you are an experienced boater or are new to the sport of boating, we ask you to take the time to view the videocassette provided with the craft, to read this Operator’s Guide , the Safety Handbook and on-product warning/caution labels and familiarize yourself with the contents. These manuals contain pertinent information which, if followed, will provide you with the necessary knowledge to help you fully enjoy the pleasures of this craft.
We strongly recommend that any craft operator complete a safety boating course. Check with your local Coast Guard or Power and Sail Squadron in your area for course availability. More serious boaters may want to obtain Chapman

When introducing your family or friends to the sport, be sure they fully understand the controls and operation of the craft and the importance of courteous, responsible riding.
Each operator has a responsibility to ensure the safety of his/her passenger(s) and of other water users. Please follow all safety instructions and operate your craft with care.
We encourage you to have an Annual Safety Inspection of your craft. Please contact your authorized Sea-Doo dealer for further details.
Finally, we urge you to visit your authorized Sea-Doo dealer regularly for regular and safety maintenance as well as any craft accessories you may require.
Have fun and... Bon Voyage.
Please keep this guide and Safety Handbook on board. These manuals should remain with the craft at time of resale.

FOREWORD
The Operator’s Guide and Safety
Handbook have been prepared to acquaint the owner/operator or passenger with this craft and its various controls, maintenance and safe riding instructions. Each is indispensable for the proper use of the product, and should be kept in a waterproof bag in the craft at all times.
Make sure you read and understand the content of the Operator’s Guide and
Safety Handbook .
For any questions pertaining to the warranty and its application, consult the WARRANTY section in this guide and/or an authorized SEA-DOO dealer.
This guide uses the following symbols to emphasize particular information.
WARNING
Identifies an instruction which, if not followed, might cause serious personal injuries including the possibility of death.
CAUTION: Denotes an instruction which, if not followed, might damage the craft and/or components.
NOTE: Indicates supplementary information needed to fully complete an instruction.
Although the mere reading of such information does not eliminate the hazard, the understanding and application of the information will promote its correct use.
The information and components/ system descriptions contained in this guide are correct at the time of writing.
Bombardier Motor Corporation of
America (B.M.C.A.) however, maintains a policy of continuous improvement of its products without imposing upon itself any obligation to install them on products previously manufactured.
Because of its ongoing commitment to product quality and innovation,
B.M.C.A. reserves the right at any time to discontinue or change specifications, designs, features, models or equipment without incurring obligation.
The illustrations in this document show the typical construction of the different assemblies and may not represent the full detail or exact shape of the parts which have the same or a similar function.
It is understood that this guide may be translated into another language. In the event of any discrepancy, the English version shall prevail.
Specifications are given in the SI metric system with the SAE U.S. equivalent in parenthesis. Where precise accuracy is not required, some conversions are rounded off for easier use.

SAFETY MEASURES
General
To fully appreciate the pleasures, enjoyment and excitement of boating there are some basic rules that should be observed and followed by any rider. Some rules may be new to you or covered in the SEA-DOO
Safety Handbook or Safety Videocassette , others may be common sense or obvious… irrespective, we ask that you please take a few minutes of your time to completely read these safety instructions before you operate your craft. Failure to follow this safety information and safe boating rules could result in injury, including the possibility of death to you, your passenger(s), or other water users.
Bombardier recommends not to operate under 16.
Become completely familiar with the controls and operation of the craft before embarking on your first trip or taking on a passenger(s). If you have not had the opportunity to do so with your authorized SEA-DOO dealer, practice driving solo in a suitable area and feel the response of each control. Be fully familiar with all controls before applying the throttle above idle speed. As its operator, you control and are responsible for the craft’s safe operation.
Always carry the regulatory required safety items on board. Check the local regulations or consult your authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
Make sure that all users of the watercraft read and understand all onproduct warning labels.
Operation
Always perform the pre-operation checks as specified in this guide.
Operator and passenger(s) should at all times wear a coast guard approved personal flotation device (PFD) that is suitable for this craft.
Operator and passenger(s) should wear protective clothing. Severe internal injuries can occur if water is forced into lower body cavities (of males or females) as a result of falling into water or being near jet thrust nozzle. Wet suit bottom (or thick, tightly woven, snug fitting clothing that provides equivalent protection.
Thin bike shorts for example would not be appropriate), footwear, gloves and goggles/glasses are recommended.
Always keep in mind that as the throttle lever is released to idle position, less directional control is available. To turn the craft, both steering and throttle are necessary.
Like any other boats, this craft has no brake. Stopping distance will vary depending on initial speed, load, wind, and water conditions. Practice stopping and docking in a safe, traffic free area to have an idea of how long it will take to stop the craft under varying conditions. Do not release throttle when trying to steer away from objects. You need throttle to steer. Do not use the craft’s reverse, if so equipped, to stop.
Ensure that all passengers know how to swim and how to reboard the craft from the water.
6
lmo2001-005a.book Page 7 Wednesday, February 28, 2001 4:20 PM
The operator and passenger(s) should be properly seated and wearing a coast guard approved PFD before starting or moving the craft and at all times when craft is in motion.
Do not start or operate the craft if someone is seated on the swim/ boarding platform, or is nearby in the water.
The craft’s jet thrust can cause injury. Always accelerate slowly.
To prevent accidental starting or unauthorized use, always detach the safety lanyard from the craft especially when swimmers are boarding or nearby, or during removal of any weeds or debris from the intake grate.
Keep away from intake grate while engine is on. Items such as long hair, loose clothing, or PFD straps can become entangled in moving parts resulting in severe injury or drowning.
Ride within your limits and avoid aggressive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss of control, ejection and collision.
Riding with a passenger(s) or pulling other boats, tubes, skier or wakeboarder makes the craft handle differently and requires greater skill.
Do not overload the craft or take on more passengers than designated for the particular craft. Overloading can affect maneuverability, stability and performance.
Avoid adding on accessories, or equipment which may alter your control of the craft. The craft may be fitted with tow eyelets which can be used to attach a ski rope. However, do not use these eyelets or the craft’s cleats to tow a parasail.
Severe craft damage may occur.
In shallow water, proceed with caution and at very low speeds.
Grounding or abrupt stops may result in injury. Debris may also be picked up and be thrown rearward by the jet pump onto people or property.
Respect no wake zones, the rights of other water users and the environment. As the “skipper” and owner of a craft you are responsible for damage to other boats caused by the wake of your craft. Allow no one to throw refuse overboard.
This craft is equipped with navigation lights which should be used between sunset and sunrise. Reduce speed and do not operate the craft in reduced visibility.
Remember, gasoline fumes are inflammable and explosive. Always adhere to the fueling procedure contained in this guide and those given to you by the marina. Always verify fuel level before use and during the ride. Apply the principle of
1/3 fuel to destination, 1/3 back and
1/3 reserve fuel supply. Do not carry spare fuel or inflammable liquids in any of the storage or engine compartments.
Combustion engine needs air to operate; consequently this craft can not be totally watertight. Any maneuvers such as figure eights etc., that cause the upper deck to be under water may cause severe engine problems due to water ingestion.
Refer to SPECIAL PROCEDURES and LIMITED WARRANTY contained in this guide.
Never ride after consuming drugs or alcohol. Operate your craft prudently and have fun. Don’t forget that all persons must assist other boaters in an emergency.
7
lmo2001-005a.book Page 8 Wednesday, February 28, 2001 4:20 PM
Maintenance
Only perform servicing procedures which are detailed in this guide. Further assistance or information can be obtained from your authorized
SEA-DOO dealer. In many instances proper tools and training is required for certain servicing or repair procedures.
Maintain the craft and equipment in top condition at all times. Adhere to the prescribed maintenance schedules. An annual inspection of the craft is always a good recommendation that should be followed.
Always use spark plug cable grounding device when removing spark plugs.
The bilge should be kept clean of oil, water or other foreign materials.
Do not attempt to lift the craft without special equipment and training.
The engine and the corresponding components identified in this guide should not be utilized on product(s) other than for those they were designed. Maintenance procedures and specified tightening torque must be strictly adhered to. Never attempt repairs unless the appropriate tools are available. These craft are designed with parts dimensioned in both the metric and the imperial systems. When replacing fasteners, make sure to use only those recommended by Bombardier. If required, contact your authorized
SEA-DOO dealer for further servicing information.

CONTROLS, COMPONENTS AND
INSTRUMENTS FUNCTIONS
1) Safety Lanyard Switch
(engine cut-out switch)
The safety lanyard cap should be securely snapped onto its switch to be fully operational.
Pulling the safety lanyard from the switch stops the engine operation. Attach the safety lanyard to the operator‘s Personal Flotation Device (PFD) and snap the cap to the switch to be able to start the engine.
WARNING
Should the engine be stopped, craft directional control is lost. Always disconnect safety lanyard when craft is not in operation in order to prevent accidental engine starting or to avoid unauthorized use by children or others or theft.
2) Handlebar
The handlebar controls the direction of the craft. Turning the handlebar to the right steers the craft to the right and inversely.
3) Throttle Lever
When squeezed, the craft accelerates.
When fully released, engine automatically returns to idle speed and craft is gradually stopped by water drag.
Do not depress lever unnecessarily when engine is not running. A fuel accelerator pump delivers fuel to the engine each time throttle lever is applied.
CAUTION: Engine can be flooded if throttle lever is unnecessarily applied several times. If engine is flooded, it will not start. Refer to Special procedures for instructions.
4) Choke Lever
The choke is provided to supply a richer fuel/air mixture when starting a cold engine.

lmo2001-005a.book Page 31 Wednesday, February 28, 2001 4:20 PM
BREAK-IN PERIOD
CAUTION: Scrupulously follow the instructions of this section. Failure to do so may reduce the engine’s life and/or performance.
Engine
With SEA-DOO craft powered by Rotax ® engines, a break-in period of 10 hours is required before continuous operation at full throttle.
To achieve a good break-in, throttle lever should not be depressed more than 3/4, however, brief acceleration and speed variations contribute to a good break-in.
CAUTION: Continued wide open throttle runs and prolonged cruising without speed variations should be avoided, this can cause engine damage during the break-in period.
To assure additional protection during the initial engine break-in, it is recommended to add 1 L of the same oil as in the injection oil reservoir in the fuel tank for the first full fuel tank filling only .
To add injection oil in the fuel tank, proceed as follows:
Fill fuel tank with approximately 15 liters (4 gal) of gasoline; then, add the injection oil in the fuel.
Fill up fuel tank with gasoline. Do not overfill.
NOTE: It is important to proceed in this order to allow a proper mixing of the oil in the gasoline. If oil is added first in an empty fuel tank, fuel lines will be filled up with injection oil leading in a no start condition of the engine.
CAUTION: Remove and clean spark plugs after engine break-in.
10-Hour Inspection
It is highly recommended that after the first 10 hours of operation, the craft be checked by an authorized SEA-DOO dealer. This inspection will also provide the opportunity to discuss the unanswered questions you may have encountered during the first hours of operation.
The 10-hour inspection is at the expense of the craft owner.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Always perform the PRE-OPERA-
TION CHECKS before operating the craft. Become thoroughly familiar with all controls and the function of each one of them.
Should any control or instruction be not fully understood, refer to an authorized SEA-DOO dealer.
Principle of Operation
Propulsion
The engine is directly coupled to a drive shaft which, in turn, rotates an impeller. This impeller is accurately adjusted in a housing where the water is drawn up from underneath the craft.
Then the water flows through the impeller to a venturi. The venturi accelerates the water and produces thrust to move the craft. Depressing the throttle lever increases engine speed and therefore craft speed.
F03L0KY
WARNING
Whenever the engine is to be started, the operator and passenger(s) should always be properly sitting on the craft and be wearing protective clothing including a Coast
Guard approved PFD and a wet suit bottom.
WARNING
Keep away from intake grate while engine is on. Items such as long hair, loose clothing or personal flotation device straps can become entangled in moving parts resulting in severe injury or drowning.
The shift lever is used for either driving forward or backward. With lever pushed in, the craft is in forward position, with the lever fully pulled out reverse position is obtained. The lever middle position is neutral. These 3 functions are produced by the mean of a gate, which is installed on jet pump venturi housing. This gate directs the water flow to get the proper function.
WARNING
Never use jet pump components as a supporting point to board the craft. Shift lever should only be used when the engine is idling and craft is completely stopped. Never rev the engine at high RPM in reverse. Do not use reverse to stop the craft. Only use reverse at slow speed and for the shortest time possible. Always ensure the path behind is clear of objects and persons including children playing in shallow water.
WARNING
When the craft is in neutral position, the drive shaft and impeller are turning.
36
lmo2001-005a.book Page 37 Wednesday, February 28, 2001 4:20 PM
Turning
F03L0LY
TYPICAL
Turning the handlebar pivots the jet pump nozzle which controls the craft direction. Turning the handlebar to the right will turn the craft to the right and inversely. The throttle should be applied to turn the craft.
WARNING
Throttle should be applied and handlebar turned to change the direction of the craft. Steering efficiency will differ depending on the number of passengers, load, water conditions and environmental factors such as the wind.
Unlike a car, a craft needs some throttle to turn. Practice in a safe area applying the throttle and turning away from an imaginary object. This is a good collision avoidance technique.
WARNING
Directional control is reduced when the throttle is released and lost when engine is off.
The craft behaves differently with passengers and requires greater skill. The passengers should always grip the grab handles. Reduce speed and avoid sharp turns. Avoid choppy water conditions when carrying passengers.

Keep away from intake grate while engine is on. Items such as long hair, loose clothing or personal flotation device straps can become entangled in moving parts resulting in severe injury or drowning.
WARNING
Always remove safety lanyard cap from its post to prevent accidental engine starting before cleaning the jet pump area.
Weeds, shells or debris can get caught on the intake grate, drive shaft and/or impeller. A clogged water intake may cause troubles such as:
1Cavitation: Engine speed is high but craft moves slowly due to reduced jet thrust; jet pump components may be damaged.
2Overheating: Since the jet pump operation controls the flow of water to cool the engine, a clogged intake will cause the engine to overheat and damage engine internal components.
The clogged area can be cleaned as follows:
Shut off the engine and let the craft stop by itself then wait approximately
10 seconds before restarting engine.
This waiting period may allow weeds to fall free from grate.
If system is still clogged, proceed with following procedure:
With the engine running, put shift lever in reverse position and vary throttle quickly several times.
If still clogged, restop boat and rock several times while repeatedly pressing start/stop button for short period without starting engine.
If the jet pump can not be cleared of debris, the craft should be returned to the trailer or to a boat lift to be manually cleaned.
If the system is still clogged, refer to an authorized SEA-DOO dealer for servicing.
CAUTION: Inspect water intake grate for damage. Refer to an authorized
SEA-DOO dealer for repair as necessary.
CAUTION: Avoid jet boat operation in weed areas. If unavoidable, vary jet boat speed. Weeds tend to entangle more at steady speed and at slow speed. Inspect water intake grate for damage. Refer to an authorized dealer for repair as necessary.

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any marine SI (spark ignition) engine repair establishments or individual.
Engine Emissions
Information
Manufacturer’s Responsibility
Beginning with 1999 model year engines, PWC manufacturers of marine engines must determine the exhaust emission levels for each engine horsepower family and certify these engines with the United States of America Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
An emissions control information label, showing emission levels and engine specifications, must be placed on each vehicle at the time of manufacture.
Dealer’s Responsibility
When performing service on all 1999 and more recent SEA-DOO craft that carry an emissions control information label, adjustments must be kept within published factory specifications.
Replacement or repair of any emission related component must be executed in a manner that maintains emission levels within the prescribed certification standards.
Dealers are not to modify the engine in any manner that would alter the horsepower or allow emission levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifications.
Exceptions include manufacturer’s prescribed changes, such as altitude adjustments for example.
Owner Responsibility
The owner/operator is required to have engine maintenance performed to maintain emission levels within prescribed certification standards.
The owner/operator is not to, and should not allow anyone to modify the engine in any manner that would alter the horsepower or allow emissions levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifications.
EPA Emission Regulations
All new 1998 and more recent SEA-DOO craft manufactured by Bombardier are certified to the EPA as conforming to the requirements of the regulations for the control of air pollution from new craft engines. This certification is contingent on certain adjustments being set to factory standards. For this reason, the factory procedure for servicing the product must be strictly followed and, whenever practicable, returned to the original intent of the design.
The responsibilities listed above are general and in no way a complete listing of the rules and regulations pertaining to the EPA requirements on exhaust emissions for marine products.

Antifreezing Protection
NOTE: This procedure requires approximately 2.5 L (2.6 U.S. qt.) of antifreeze.
In cool regions (where freezing point temperature may be encountered), cooling system should be filled with water and antifreeze solution. (50% water, 50% antifreeze).
CAUTION: Antifreeze mix must be fed in cooling system. Otherwise remaining water will freeze. This operation requires a good technical knowledge of the cooling system path. If antifreezing is not performed adequately engine/exhaust system may freeze and cause severe engine damage. We strongly recommend this operation be performed by an authorized SEA-DOO dealer.
CAUTION: Always use ethylene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion inhibitors specifically recommended for aluminum engines.
NOTE: When available, it is recommended to use biodegradable antifreeze compatible with internal combustion aluminum engines. This will contribute to protect the environment.
NOTE: The engine will not have to run during this operation but should have been ran before, to exhaust as much water as possible, from cooling system components.
Three hoses have to be disconnected to allow air to escape and antifreeze solution to completely fill cooling system water jackets.
Install a hose pincher (not supplied) on water injection hose.
Disconnect water inlet hose, drain hose and water outlet hose.

Lubricate the throttle cable with BOM-
BARDIER LUBE lubricant.
Clean the bilge with hot water and detergent or with bilge cleaner. Rinse thoroughly. Lift front end of craft to completely drain bilge. If any repairs are needed to body or to the hull, contact your authorized SEA-DOO dealer. For paint touch up to mechanical parts use
Bombardier spray paint. For small gelcoat repairs, a Bombardier repair kit is available. Replace damaged labels/decals.
NOTE: Bilge cleaning should be done prior to anticorrosion treatment.
Wash the body with soap and water solution (only use mild detergent).
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Remove marine organisms from the hull.
Apply a nonabrasive wax such as silicone wax.
CAUTION: Never clean apparent fiberglass and plastic parts w ith strong detergent, degreasing agent, paint thinner, acetone, etc.
If the craft is to be stored outside, cover it with an opaque tarpaulin to prevent sun rays and grime from affecting the plastic components, craft finish as well as preventing dust accumulation.
For storage period, tube should be cleaned and dried.
If possible, store the craft with the tube sections 90% inflated. If it is not possible, fold the tube into the hull and tie it loosely into this position.
CAUTION: Never leave the craft stored in direct sunlight. UV radiation will decrease tube life and dull finish. The craft must never be left in water for storage. Keep away from rodents.
The engine cover should be partially left opened during storage. This will avoid engine compartment condensation and possible corrosion.
NOTE: If the craft is stored outside with engine cover partially opened and without a tarpaulin, unscrew the rear drain plugs in order to avoid water build up in the bilge during rainfall. Tilt the craft to the rear so that water can flow out of floorboard.
Pre-Season Preparation
Use the PERIODIC INSPECTION CHART and refer to the pre-season column.
Since technical skills and special tools are required, some operations should be performed by an authorized SEA-DOO dealer.
WARNING
Only perform procedures as detailed in this guide. It is recommended 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 running and the safety lanyard must be removed from its post for all maintenance procedures.
