FUEL AND LUBRICATION

Recommended Fuel

Use unleaded gasoline with a mini-

mum of 87 octane (RON + MON/2)

specification.

NOTE: Look on service station pump

sticker for octane specification. Do not

mix oil with fuel except at engine

break-in. Always check injection oil

tank level when refueling.

The use of good quality fuel is neces-

sary. A well known fuel brand is highly

recommended.

Recommended Oil

Use BOMBARDIER ROTAX INJEC-

TION OIL which is available from au-

thorized dealers. It is a blend of spe-

cially selected base oils and additives

which provides proper lubrication, en-

gine cleanliness and minimum spark

plug fouling.

NOTE: High quality low ash API TC in-

jection oil for 2-cycle engines can be

used if BOMBARDIER ROTAX INJEC-

TION OIL is not available.

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

Starting the Engine

Before unloading the watercraft from

the trailer, it can be started for about

10 seconds to verify proper operation.

Attach the safety lanyard to the opera-

tor’s PFD and snap the cap to the

switch before starting the engine.

Cold and Warm Engine

Firmly grip handlebar with both hands

and place both feet on the floorboard.

To start engine, depress and hold the

button. Release immediately after en-

gine is started.

-CAUTION

Never experiment with other fu-

els or fuel ratios. Never use fuel

containing more than 10% alco-

hol (ethanol or methanol). The

use of non-recommended fuel can

result in watercraft performance

deterioration and damage to crit-

ical parts in the fuel system and

engine components.

-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 en-

gine damage.

◆WARNING

Do not touch electrical parts or jet

pump area when engine is run-

ning.

◆WARNING

Only start the watercraft once all

controls have been checked and

operate properly. Operator and

passenger (if applicable) should

be sitting on the watercraft seat

prior to starting the engine.

smo9803a.fm5 Page 5 Monday, January 26, 1998 3:55 PM

NOTE: Do not depress the throttle le-

ver to start either a cold or warm en-

gine.

Slowly accelerate to reach deeper

water. Do not apply full throttle until

the engine is at normal operating tem-

perature.

POST-OPERATION CARE

Cooling System Flushing and

Engine Internal Lubrication

Flushing the cooling system with

fresh water is essential to neutralize

corroding effects of salt or other chemi-

cal products present in water. It will

help to clean up sand, salt, shells or

other particles in water jackets (en-

gine, exhaust manifold, tuned pipe)

and/or hoses.

Engine lubrication and flushing should

be performed when the watercraft is

not expected to be used further the

same day or when the watercraft is

stored for any extended time.

Proceed as follows:

Clean jet pump by spraying waterin its

inlet and outlet and then BOMBAR-

DIER LUBE lubricant.

To flush engine, connect a garden

hose to the water outlet located at the

rear of watercraft near the jet pump.

NOTE: A quick connect adapter is

supplied with the watercraft and can

be used to ease hose installation.

TYPICAL

1. Water outlet

2. Quick connect adapter (supplied)

3. Garden hose

Start the engine then immediately

open the water tap.

Run the engine about 3 minutes at a

fast idle around 3500 RPM.

◆WARNING

In shallow water, shells, sand,

pebbles or other objects could be

drawn up by the jet pump and

damage impeller, components or

clog the cooling system. Also, de-

bris could be thrown rearward

into bystanders.

◆WARNING

Perform this operation in a well

ventilated area.

◆WARNING

Do not touch any electrical parts

or jet pump area when engine is

running.

-CAUTION

Never flush a hot engine. Always

start the engine before opening

the water tap. Open water tap im-

mediately after engine is started

to prevent overheating.

gine is water-flooded, it is strongly rec-

ommended that the watercraft be ser-

viced within a few hours, remove

spark plug cables and connect them
