FOREWORD
The
Operator’s Guide
and
Safety
Handbook
have been prepared to acquaint the owner/operator or passenger with this personal 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 with the craft at all times.
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, may 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 publication. Bombardier Inc. 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 our ongoing commitment to product quality and innovation, Bombardier Inc. 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.
However, they represent parts that have the same or 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.
A
Shop Manual
can be obtained for complete service, maintenance and more repair information.

SAFETY WARNING
General
To fully appreciate the pleasures, enjoyment and excitement of boating there are some basic rules that should be observed and followed by any boater. Some rules may be new to you or covered in the PWC/Sport boat
Safety Handbook
or
Safety Video
, others may be common sense or obvious… irrespective, 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 also recommend all operators to take a boating safety course. Please 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 the regulatory required safety items on board.
The performance of this craft may significantly exceed that of other boats you have operated. Therefore, use of this craft by a novice or inexperienced operator, or an underage or disabled person, is not recommended.
Observe and follow all on-product warning labels.
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 dealer, practice driving solo in a suitable area and feel the response of each control. Be fully familiar with all controls before advancing the throttle above idle speed. As its operator, you control and are responsible for the craft’s safe 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 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. You and your passenger(s) could be thrown from the craft. It should also be remembered that sun, wind, alcohol or drugs, may impair your judgment and reaction time.
While your craft has the capacity of operating at high speeds, it is strongly recommended that high speed operation only be applied when ideal conditions exist and are permitted.
Higher speed operation requires a higher degree of skill and increases the risk of severe injuries.
6
smo2000-001b.fm Page 7 Tuesday, May 4, 1999 4:10 PM
The forces generated on the body of riders while turning, negotiating waves or wakes, operating in choppy waters, or falling off the watercraft, especially at higher speeds, may cause injury including the possibility of broken legs and other bones. Remain flexible and avoid sharp turns. Never place your feet and legs in the water to aid turning.
Always keep a constant lookout for other water users especially when turning. Make sure to keep a safe distance from all other craft.
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. Maintaining or increasing speed may be necessary to avoid a collision. 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. The operator and passenger(s) should be properly seated and wearing an approved PFD before starting or moving the craft. Do not start or operate the craft if a person(s) is seated on the sun deck or swim platform, or are nearby in the water. The craft’s jet thrust can cause injury. Always accelerate slowly. To prevent accidental starting, always detach the safety lanyard from the craft when swimmers are boarding or nearby, or during removal of any weeds or debris from the intake grate.
Riding with a passenger(s) or pulling other boats, tubes, skies or wakeboards 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.
Always respect the safety and comfort of your passenger(s) and persons being towed on skis, wakeboards or other water products. The best advice is to carry an observer, proceed with only as much speed as required, and follow the observers instructions. Unless absolutely necessary, do not make tight, sharp turns.
Know the waters in which the craft is to be operated. Current, tides, rapids, hidden obstacles, wakes and waves etc., can affect safe operation. It is not advisable to operate the craft in rough or inclement weather.
Wake or wave jumping or riding the surf line can cause severe injury and damage the craft. Never attempt to splash others with your craft. You may misjudge the ability of the craft or your own riding skills and strike a boat or person.
In shallow water, proceed with cauti o n an d a t ve ry lo w sp ee d s.
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.
7
smo2000-001b.fm Page 8 Tuesday, May 4, 1999 4:10 PM
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.
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 manouvers 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.
Due to the close proximity of other racers. It is recommended that an approved personal watercraft helmet be used during racing events.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings provided with the helmet.
Maintenance
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.
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 must 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 watercraft 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 dealer for further servicing information.

FUEL AND LUBRICATION
Fueling Procedure
WARNING
Follow these safe boating fueling instructions explicitly.
Do not allow anyone to remain on the craft.
Tie craft securely to the fueling pier.
Have a fire extinguisher close at hand.
Do not insert the spout too far in filler neck.
Pour fuel slowly so that air can escape from the tank and prevent fuel flowback.
Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck.
Do not overfill.
Fully tighten fuel tank cap.
WARNING
The tank design makes provision for fuel expansion of about 5%. If this area is filled, fuel will expand and may come out through fuel vent. Always stop the engine before refueling. Fuel is inflammable and explosive under certain conditions. Always work in a well ventilated area. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the vicinity. Never top off the fuel tank and leave craft in the sun. As temperature increases, fuel expands and might overflow. Always wipe off any fuel spillage from the craft.
Recommended Fuel
Use regular unleaded gasoline with 87 octane (Ron + Mon)/2 specification.
NOTE: Do not mix oil with fuel except at engine break-in. Refer to BREAK-IN
PERIOD. Always check injection oil tank level when refueling.
CAUTION: Never experiment with other fuels or fuel ratios. Never use fuel containing more than 10% alcohol, (ethanol or methanol). The use of non-recommended fuel can result in craft performance deterioration and damage to critical parts in the fuel system and engine components.
Recommended Oil
W e r e c o m m e n d t h e u s e o f
B O M B A R D I E R -ROTAX® Formula
XP-S synthetic injection oil available at authorized Sea-Doo dealers.
This fully synthetic oil provides outstanding lubrication and cleanliness, less friction and wear for greater engine performance and durability.
CAUTION: The 947 engine requires the use of BOMBARDIER-ROTAX Formula XP-S synthetic injection oil (or a suitable equivalent of synthetic oil).
Oil Injection System
This craft features an oil injection system which does not require manual fuel/ oil mixing.
A sufficient amount of injection oil should be maintained in the reservoir.
NOTE: It is recommended to carry a
1 L of spare injection oil.
29
smo2000-001b.fm Page 30 Tuesday, May 4, 1999 1:20 PM
The use of a funnel is recommended to pour the oil into the reservoir. Stop filling as soon as oil appears at approximately 13 mm (1/2 in) from top of reservoir. Do not overfill.
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 should be bled.
Immediately refer to an authorized
Sea-Doo dealer to have the oil injection system inspected.
30
smo2000-001b.fm Page 31 Tuesday, May 4, 1999 1:20 PM
BREAK-IN PERIOD
Engine
With BOMBARDIER-ROTAX ® craft 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, it is recommended to add BOMBARDIER-ROTAX injection oil in the fuel tank for the first full fuel tank filling only .
MODEL QUANTITY
LRV 1.67 L
To add injection oil in the fuel, proceed as follows:
Fill fuel tank with approximately 15 liters (4 gal) of gasoline; then, add the required quantity of 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(s).
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 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.

Launching/Loading
Before launching the craft, ensure the bilge plugs are fully screwed and after loading the craft, ensure they are remove to drain bilge.
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.
F01J3YY
TYPICAL
WARNING
Whenever the engine is to be started, the operator and passengers should always be sitting on the craft.
Shift Lever
The shift lever should be in the forward position in order for the craft to advance.
To obtain neutral, pull shift lever halfway. The reverse gate will be in the middle position, directing half of the thrust toward the front of the craft to minimize craft movement.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES
Engine Overheating
If the monitoring beeper continuously sounds, stop engine immediately .
Perform Jet Pump Water Intake and
Impeller Cleaning procedure describded in this section.
Flush cooling system, refer to POST-
OPERATION CARE.
If engine still overheats, refer to an authorized Sea-Doo 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:
1.
Cavitation: Engine speed is high but craft moves slowly due to reduced jet thrust, jet pump components may be damaged.
2.
Overheating: 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.
A weed clogged area can be cleaned as follows:
WARNING
Always remove safety lanyard cap from switch to prevent accidental engine starting before cleaning the jet pump area.
Press the start/stop button for short period without starting engine. Most of the time, this will remove the blockage.
If system is still blocked move the craft out of the water and remove blockage manually.
CAUTION: Inspect water intake grate for damage. Refer to an authorized
Sea-Doo dealer for repair as necessary.
Capsized Craft
If the craft turns over, it will remain capsized.
To return the craft upright, grab the inlet grate, step on rub rail and use your weight to rotate it counterclockwise
(seen from rear).
CAUTION: Always refer to decal located on stern of craft.
F06L0DZ
Submerged Craft
If the craft is submerged and engine is water-flooded, it is strongly recommended that the craft be serviced by an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
Flooded Engine
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 and dry cloth.
