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 Op-

erator’s Guide, the Safety Handbook and on-product warning/caution labels and

familiarize yourself with the contents. These manuals contain pertinent informa-

tion 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

Piloting by Elbert S. Maloney, available at most book stores.

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, respon-

sible 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 ac-

quaint the owner/operator or passen-

ger with this personal craft and its var-

ious controls, maintenance and safe

riding instructions. Each is indispens-

able for the proper use of the product,

and should be kept in a waterproof bag

with the craft at all times. Make sure

you read and understand the content

of each document.

For any questions pertaining to the

warranty and its application, consult

the WARRANTY section in this guide,

and/or an authorized SEA-DOO dealer.

The information contained in this guide

should always be used in conjunction

with the information included in Mer-

cury Marine (M2) Jet Drive Operator’s

Guide.

This guide uses the following symbols

to emphasize particular information.

NOTE: Indicates supplementary infor-

mation needed to fully complete an in-

struction.

Although the mere reading of such in-

formation does not eliminate the haz-

ard, the understanding and application

of the information will promote its cor-

rect use.

The information and components/

system descriptions contained in this

guide are correct at the time of publi-

cation. Bombardier Motor Corporation

of America (B.M.C.A.) however, main-

tains a policy of continuous improve-

ment of its products without imposing

upon itself any obligation to install

them on products previously manufac-

tured.

Because of our ongoing commitment

to product quality and innovation,

Bombardier reserves the right at any

time to discontinue or change specifica-

tions, designs, features, models or

equipment without incurring obligation.

SAFETY MEASURES

General

To fully appreciate the pleasures,

enjoyment and excitement of boat-

ing 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 Vid-

eo, 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.

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 driv-

ing solo in a suitable area and feel

the response of each control. Be ful-

ly 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.

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 has

no brake. Stopping distance will vary

depending on initial speed, load,

wind, and water conditions. Practice

stopping and docking in a safe, traf-

fic free area to have an idea of how

long it will take to stop the craft un-

der varying conditions. Do not re-

lease throttle when trying to steer

away from objects. You need throt-

tle 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.

The operator and passenger(s)

should be properly seated and

wearing an 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 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 inju-

ry. Always accelerate slowly.

To prevent accidental starting or unau-

thorized use, always detach the safe-

ty lanyard from the craft especially

when swimmers are boarding or

nearby, or during removal of any

weeds or debris from the intake grate.

Riding with a passenger(s) or pull-

ing other boats, tubes, skier or

wakeboarder makes the craft han-

dle differently and requires greater

skill. Do not overload the craft or

take on more passengers than des-

ignated for the particular craft. Over-

loading can affect maneuverability,

stability and performance. Avoid

adding on accessories, or equip-

ment 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.

lmo2003-001a.book Page 6 Thursday, July 11, 2002 3:57 PM

In shallow water, proceed with cau-

tion and at very low speeds. Ground-

ing or abrupt stops may result in in-

jury. 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 envi-

ronment. As the “skipper”and

owner of a boat 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 naviga-

tion lights which should be used be-

tween sunset and sunrise. Reduce

speed and do not operate the craft

in reduced visibility.

Remember, gasoline fumes are in-

flammable 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 dur-

ing 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 com-

partments.

Combustion engine needs air to op-

erate; consequently this craft can

not be totally watertight. Any ma-

neuvers such as figure eights etc.,

that cause the upper deck to be un-

der water may cause severe engine

problems due to water ingestion.

Refer to “SPECIAL PROCEDURE“

and LIMITED WARRANTY contained

in this guide.

Operation of this craft by a minor or

disabled person is NOT recom-

mended.

Maintenance

Only perform servicing procedures

which are detailed in this guide. Fur-

ther 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 proce-

dures.

Maintain the craft and equipment in

top condition at all times. Adhere to

the prescribed maintenance sched-

ules. An annual inspection of the

craft is always a good recommenda-

tion that should be followed.

The bilge must be kept clean of oil,

water or other foreign materials.

Do not attempt to lift the craft with-

out 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 de-

signed. Maintenance procedures

and specified tightening torque

must be strictly adhered to. Never

attempt repairs unless the appropri-

ate 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 recom-

mended by Bombardier. If required,

contact your authorized Sea-Doo

dealer for further servicing informa-

tion.

Operate your craft prudently and

have fun. Don’t forget that all per-

sons must assist other boaters in an

emergency.
