FOREWORD______________________________________
The
Operator’s Guide
has been prepared to acquaint the owner/operator or passenger of this jet boat with the various jet boat controls, maintenance and safe riding instructions. It is indispensable for the proper use of the product, and should be kept in a waterproof bag in the jet boat at all times.
For any questions pertaining to the warranty and its application, please consult the WARRANTY section in this guide, or an authorized SEA-DOO jet boat dealer.
This guide uses the following symbols to emphasize particular information.

SAFETY WARNING ____________________________
To fully appreciate the pleasures, enjoyment and excitement of boating there are some basic rules that MUST be observed and followed by any boater. Some rules may be new to you while others may be common sense or obvious, nevertheless, we ask that you please take a few minutes of your time to read these safety instructions completely 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 .
Information in this Guide is limited. It is strongly recommended that you obtain further boating information from the local Coast Guard or Power Squadron. We further recommend you take a boating safety course. Check local and federal boating laws applicable to the waterways where you intend to use the craft. Learn the local rules of the road.
Always carry all required safety equipment. Verify it regularly.
Become completely familiar with the controls and operation of the craft before taking on a passenger(s) or embarking on a trip. If you have not had the opportunity to do so with your dealer, practice driving solo in a suitable area. Be fully familiar with all controls before fully applying the throttle.
Observe and follow all on-product warning labels and the content of this
Guide.
Operator and passenger(s) should wear suitable eye and body protection from wind and water as well as deck shoes or booties.
Coast Guard approved personal flotation devices (PFD) should be worn by all aboard.
Operation of this craft by a minor or disabled person is NOT recommended.
Do not operate the craft after consuming alcohol or drugs.
Store or tie-down any loose articles or necessary boating equipment before operating the craft.
Always perform the pre-operational checks as specified in this Guide. This includes:
– Attaching the safety lanyard.
– Verification of throttle lever and steering movement.
– Verification of start/stop button operation.
– Oil and fuel levels.
– Use of blower.
– Adequate water depth.
– Functional navigation lights.
– R e q u i r e d b o a t i n g e q u i p m e n t .
(Know how to use each).
The operator and passenger(s) must be properly seated in the designated seats before starting or moving the craft. Allow no one to jump into the boat at anytime, or move during boat operation. The risk of an accidental fall or slip is always present.
Ensure operator all-round visibility is unrestricted.
Wave or wake jumping is dangerous and in many regions illegal.
6
lmo702a2.bk : lmo702a1.fm5 Page 7 Tuesday, October 7, 1997 2:20 PM
Most boating accidents result from the failure of the operator to keep a lookout for other water users or other potential hazards. Keep a safe distance from other boat on water. Do not attempt to splash others with your wake. Do not ride surf line.
This craft is equipped with bow and stern navigation lights which should be used as required. Lower speed and do not operate the craft in reduced visibility.
To prevent accidental starting or unauthorized use, always detach the safety lanyard from the boat during maintenance, cleaning of the intake grate, or when swimmers are nearby.
Ensure that all passengers know how to reboard the craft from the water.
Always have an observer while towing a skier.
Know the waters in which the craft is to be operated. Current, tides, rapids, shallow water, hidden obstacles etc., can affect safe operation.
When boating, apply the principle of
1/3 fuel to destination, 1/3 back and
1/3 reserve fuel supply.
Maintain the craft and equipment in top condition at all times. Adhere to the prescribed maintenance schedules. Use a protective cover when not in use. After salt or foul water use, the craft should be thoroughly rinsed and protected from corrosion. If you suspect water ingestion into the engine, contact your dealer for proper servicing.
The bilge must be kept clean of oil, water or other foreign materials. Do not carry spare fuel and inflammable liquids in any of the storage or engine compartments.
Avoid adding on accessories, carrying equipment which may alter the craft's configuration or balance. Only perform servicing procedures which are detailed in this Guide. Further assistance or information can be obtained from your dealer. In many instances proper tools and training is required for certain servicing or repair procedures.
Gasoline fumes are flammable and explosive. Always adhere to the fueling procedures contained in this Guide and those given to you by the marina.
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. This craft has the capability of turning more sharply than other boats, however, unless in an emergency, do not negotiate sharp, high speed turns.
Like any other boat, 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 area to have an idea of how long it will take to stop the craft under varying conditions.
Prolonged exposure to the sun, wind etc., causes fatigue and may affect your reaction time.
Do not overload the craft or take on more passengers than designated for the intended type of boating. Load and altitude will also affect boat performance.
Proceed with caution and at very low speeds on shallow water. Grounding or abrupt stops may result, or debris may be picked up and be jettisoned rearward to people or property. The impeller is turning even when the selector lever is at neutral.
7
lmo702a2.bk : lmo702a1.fm5 Page 8 Tuesday, October 7, 1997 2:20 PM
As the "skipper" of a boat you are responsible for damage to other boats caused by the wake of your craft. Respect no wake zones.
Respect the rights of other water users and the environment. Allow no one to throw refuse overboard.
Do not operate the craft in inclement weather.
Constant attention and control of the boat is required by the operator for safe operation.
Use of the bilge blower should never replace "smelling" for gasoline fumes.
Blower must be off during boat operation.
Lifting the craft requires special equipment and experience. Do not attempt to lift the craft without such experience or equipment.
Respect the safety and comfort of your passenger(s) and persons being towed on skis.
Drive prudently and have fun.

Fueling Procedure
◆
WARNING
Follow these safe boating fueling instructions explicitly.
Make sure the jet boat is tied securely to the fueling pier.
Use bilge blower for a minimum of 4 minutes.
Turn off engine, bilge blower and any other devices that could produce a spark.
Disembark all people.
Do not smoke or allow open flames in the vicinity.
Have a fire extinguisher close at hand.
Do not enter the spout too far in filler neck.
Pour fuel slowly so that air can escape from the reservoir and prevent fuel flowback.
Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck.
Do not overfill.
Fully tighten fuel tank cap and wipe off any fuel spillage.
Ensure there are no fuel fumes in the engine compartment, ventilate using the blower as necessary.
Recommended Fuel
Use regular unleaded gasoline with 87 octane ((R + M)/2) specification.
' NOTE: Look on service station pump sticker for octane specification. Do not mix oil with fuel except at engine break-in. Refer to BREAK-IN
PERIOD. Always check injection oil reservoir level when refueling.
The use of good quality fuel is necessary. A well known fuel brand is highly recommended.
-
CAUTION
The use of a poor quality fuel can result in jet boat performance deterioration and damage to fuel system and engine components.
Never experiment with other fuels or fuel ratios. Never use fuel containing alcohol, methanol or similar products including naphtha.
Recommended Oil
Use only BOMBARDIER ROTAX IN-
JECTION OIL which is available from authorized dealers. It is a blend of specially selected base oils and additives which provides outstanding lubrication, engine cleanliness and minimum spark plug fouling.
' NOTE: High quality low ash API
TC injection oil for 2-cycle engines can be used if BOMBARDIER ROTAX
INJECTION OIL is not available.
-
CAUTION
Never use 4-cycle petroleum or synthetic motor oil and never mix these with outboard motor oil.
Do not use NMMA TC-W, TC-W2 or TC-W3 outboard motor oils or other ashless type 2-cycle oil.
Avoid mixing different brands of
API TC oil as resulting chemical reaction may cause severe engine damage.
Oil Injection System
This jet boat features an oil injection system which does not require manual fuel/oil mixing.
25
lmo702a2.bk : lmo702a1.fm5 Page 26 Tuesday, October 7, 1997 2:20 PM
Oil level in reservoir should be maintained almost full. To check, remove seat to expose oil reservoir. Verify through oil reservoir. Unscrew cap to add oil as necessary.
Use a flexible funnel to pour oil into reservoir. Wipe off any oil spillage.
' NOTE: Always carry 500 mL of
BOMBARDIER ROTAX INJEC-
TION OIL.
-
CAUTION
Always maintain a sufficient amount of injection oil in the oil reservoir. Check and refill every time you refuel. Do not overfill. If the engine runs out of oil, severe engine damage will occur. If the oil reservoir is found almost empty, air can enter in the system and it must be bled. Immediately refer to an authorized dealer to have the oil injection system inspected.
BREAK-IN PERIOD_______________________________
Engine
With Bombardier-Rotax ® jet boat engines, a break-in period is required before operating the engine at full throttle. Engine manufacturer recommendation is about 10 operating hours.
During this period, maximum throttle should not exceed 3/4, however, brief acceleration and speed variations contribute to a good break-in. Continued wide open throttle accelerations, prolonged cruising speeds and overloading the engine are detrimental during the break-in period.
To assure additional protection during the initial engine break-in, 1L (34 oz) of
BOMBARDIER ROTAX INJECTION
OIL should be added in the fuel tank for the first full fuel tank filling only.
-
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 jet boat be checked by an authorized 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 jet boat owner.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ____________________
◆
WARNING
Always perform the PRE-OPERA-
TION CHECKS before operating the jet boat. Become thoroughly familiar with all controls and the function of each. Should any control or instruction be not fully understood, refer to an authorized 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 jet boat. Then the water flows through the impeller to a venturi. The venturi accelerates the water and produces thrust to move the jet boat. Depressing the throttle lever increases engine speed and therefore jet boat speed.
The selector lever is used for either driving the jet boat forward or backward. With lever pushed in, the watercraft 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.
F03L0KY
.
◆
WARNING
Whenever the engine is to be started, the operator should always be sitting on the jet boat with the selector lever in neutral position. Selector lever should only be used when the engine is
idling. Engaging the reverse at any other speed may damage reverse system components and possibly cause personal injuries.
Ensure lever is pushed in and locked.
Turning
F03L0LY
TYPICAL
Turning the handlebar pivots the jet pump nozzle which controls the jet boat direction. Turning the handlebar to the right will turn the jet boat to the right and inversely. The throttle must be applied to turn the jet boat.
◆
WARNING
Directional control is lost when the throttle is released. Throttle must be applied and handlebar turned to change the direction of the jet boat. Steering efficiency will differ depending on number of passengers, load and water condition.
The more the throttle is applied while turning the handlebar, the sharper the turn will be.
31
lmo702a2.bk : lmo702a1.fm5 Page 32 Tuesday, October 7, 1997 2:20 PM
The jet boat behaves differently with passengers and requires greater skill.

POST-OPERATION CARE ________________________
General Care
Should any water be present in the hull, unscrew the drain plugs and tilt the jet boat to the rear in order to allow water to flow out.
Wipe up any remaining liquid in the engine compartment (bilge, engine, battery, etc.) with clean dry rags (this is particularly important in salt water use).
Remove the jet boat from the water every day to prevent marine organisms growth.
Leave the engine cover partially opened. This will avoid engine compartment condensation and possible corrosion.
' NOTE: When the jet boat is stored with engine cover partially opened and without a tarpaulin, unscrew the drain plugs in order to avoid water build up in the bilge during rainfall.
Additional Care for Foul
Water or Salt Water
When the jet boat is operated in foul water and particularly in salt water , additional care must be taken to protect the jet boat and its components.
Rinse bilge area with fresh water .
-
CAUTION
Failure to perform proper care such as: jet boat rinsing, cooling system flushing and anticorrosion treatment, when jet boat is used in salt water, will result in damage to the jet boat and its components.
Cooling System Flushing and
Engine Internal Lubrication
Flushing the cooling system with fresh water is essential to neutralize corroding effects of salt or other chemical products present in water. It will help to clean up sand, salt, shells or other particles in water jackets (engine, exhaust manifold, tuned pipe) and/or hoses.
Engine lubrication and flushing should be performed when the jet boat is not expected to be used further the same day or when it is stored for any extended time.
Proceed as follows:
◆
WARNING
Perform this operation in a well ventilated area.
1. Clean jet pump by spraying water in its inlet and outlet and then SEA-
DOO LUBE lubricant.
' NOTE: A quick connect hose adapter can be fixed to ease garden hose installation to boat’s connector.
2. Connect a garden hose directly to the flushing connector. To prevent water leak, ensure the rubber washer is in the boat’s connector.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES _________________________
Engine Overheat
If the engine overheating beeper sounds continuously, stop engine immediately .
Perform the Jet Pump Water Intake and Impeller Cleaning procedure in this section.
Flush cooling system, refer to POST-
OPERATION CARE.
If engine still overheats, refer to an authorized dealer for servicing.
Jet Pump Water Intake and Impeller Cleaning
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 jet boat 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 boat stop by itself then wait approximately
10 seconds before restarting engine.
This waiting period may allow weeds to fall free from grate.
◆
WARNING
When the engine is shut off, jet boat directional control is not available.
If system is still clogged, proceed with following procedure:
With the engine running, put selector lever in reverse position and vary throttle quickly several times.
Retry boat.
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 jet boat should be returned to the trailer or to a boat lift.
Clean the water intake area. If the system is still clogged, refer to an authorized dealer for servicing.
-
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.
Capsized Boat
The jet boat is designed so that it should not turn over easily, due to its longer and larger dimensions and its inflated tubes. If it turns over, it will remain capsized. To return the jet boat upright proceed as follows:
– Deflate the right tube (seen from rear)
– Rotate jet boat clockwise (seen from rear) by pushing on the right side
40
lmo702a2.bk : lmo702a1.fm5 Page 41 Tuesday, October 7, 1997 2:20 PM
– Handhold the side of water intake hole and use your weight to complete the jet boat rotation.
◆
WARNING
In the event it is impossible to upright the boat, remain with it, you will be more easily located by a search plane or boat.
Submerged Boat
If the jet boat is submerged and engine is water-flooded, it is strongly recommended that the jet boat be serv i c e d b y a n a u t h o r i z e d d e a l e r immediately.
In the event the engine cannot be serviced within a few hours, remove spark plug cables and connect them on the grounding device.
◆
WARNING
Never crank engine with spark plugs removed unless spark plug cables are connected to the grounding device.
Remove spark plugs and dry them with a clean cloth.
Cover spark plug holes with a rag.
Crank engine to allow water to escape from spark plug holes.
Spray SEA-DOO LUBE lubricant into spark plug holes.
Crank engine again.
Reinstall spark plugs.
Towing the Boat
