GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Avoid Carbon Monoxide

Poisoning

All engine exhaust contains carbon

monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing car-

bon monoxide can cause headaches,

dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confu-

sion and eventually death.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odor-

less, tasteless gas that may be present

even if you do not see or smell any en-

gine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon

monoxide can collect rapidly, and you

can quickly be overcome and unable

to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of

carbon monoxide can linger for hours

or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated

areas. If you experience any symp-

toms of carbon monoxide poisoning,

leave the area immediately, get fresh

air and seek medical treatment.

To prevent serious injury or death from

carbon monoxide:

– Never run the watercraft in poorly

ventilated or partially enclosed ar-

eas such as watercraft houses, sea-

walls or other boats in close prox-

imity. Even if you try to ventilate

engine exhaust, carbon monoxide

can rapidly reach dangerous levels.

– Never run the watercraft outdoors

where engine exhaust can be drawn

into a building through openings

such as windows and doors.

– Never stand behind the watercraft

while the engine is running. A per-

son standing behind a running en-

gine may inhale high concentrations

of exhaust fumes. Inhalation of con-

centrated exhaust fumes that con-

tain carbon monoxide can result in

CO poisoning, serious health prob-

lems and death.

Avoid Gasoline Fires and

Other Hazards

Gasoline is extremely flammable and

highly explosive. Fuel vapors can

spread and be ignited by a spark or

flame many feet away from the en-

gine. To reduce the risk of fire or explo-

sion, follow these instructions:

– Use only an approved red gasoline

container to store fuel.

– Strictly adhere to the instructions in

FUELING

section.

– Never start watercraft if gasoline or

gasoline vapor odors is present in

theenginecompartment.

– Never start or operate the engine if

the fuel cap is not properly secured.

– Do not carry gasoline containers in

the storage bin (if equipped) or any-

whereelseonthewatercraft.

Gasoline is poisonous and can cause

injury or death.

– Never siphon gasoline with your

mouth.

– If you swallow gasoline, get any in

your eyes, or inhale gasoline vapors,

see a doctor immediately.

If gasoline is spilled on you, wash

thoroughly with soap and water and

change your clothes.

Avoid Burns from Hot Parts

Certain components may become hot

during operation. Avoid contact dur-

ing and shortly after operation to avoid

burns.

Accessories and

Modifications

Do not make unauthorized modifica-

tions, or use accessories that are not

approved by BRP. Since these changes

have not been tested by BRP, they

may increase the risk of accidents or

injuries, and they can make the water-

craft illegal for use on water.

See your authorized Sea-Doo dealer

for available accessories for your wa-

tercraft.
