Doin’it on your new Sea-Doo Jet boat

Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a jet 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

Safety Videocassette

provided with your jet boat, to read this

Operator Guide

and

Safety Handbook

and familiarize yourself with their contents.

The guide contains pertinent information which, if followed, will provide you with

the necessary knowledge to help you fully enjoy the pleasures of this boat.

We strongly recommend that any boat 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 under-

stand the controls and operation of the jet boat and the importance of courteous,

responsible riding.

Each jet boat operator has a responsibility to ensure the safety of its passengers

and other water users. Please follow all safety instruction and drive with care.

We encourage you to have an Annual Safety Inspection of your jet boat. Please

contact your dealer for further details.

Finally, we invite you to visit your dealer for regular safety maintenance as well

as any boating accessories you may require.

Have fun and.....Bon Voyage.

Please keep this

Guide

and

Safety Handbook

on board. These manuals

should remain with the jet boat at time of resale.

FOREWORD

This

Operator’s Guide

has been pre-

pared to acquaint the owner/operator

or passenger of this jet boat with the

various jet boat controls, maintenance

and safe riding instructions. It is indis-

pensable for the proper use of the

product, and should be kept in a wa-

terproof bag in the jet boat at all times.

For any questions pertaining to the

warranty and its application, please

consult an authorized SEA-DOO jet

boat dealer.

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/sys-

tem descriptions contained in this

document are correct at the time of

publication. Bombardier Inc. however,

maintains a policy of continuous im-

provement of its products without im-

posing upon itself any obligation to in-

stall them on products previously

manufactured. Due to late changes, it

may have some differences between

the manufactured product and the de-

scriptions and/or specifications in this

document. Bombardier Inc. reserves

the right at any time to discontinue or

change specifications, designs, fea-

tures, models or equipment without

incurring obligation.

The illustrations in this document

show the typical construction of the

different assemblies and may not re-

produce 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 En-

glish version shall prevail.

Specifications are given in the SI met-

ric system with the SAE U.S. equiva-

lent in parenthesis. Where precise ac-

curacy is not required, some conver-

sions are rounded off for easier use.

◆WARNING

Identifies an instruction which, if

not followed, might cause seri-

ous personal injuries including

the possibility of death.

-CAUTION

Denotes an instruction which, if

not followed, might severely

damage the jet boat and/or com-

ponents.

Shop Manual

can be obtained for

complete service, maintenance and

more repair information.

In marine industry, PORT, STAR-

BOARD, BOW and STERN are

used to refer to LEFT, RIGHT,

FRONT and REAR respectively.

They always refer to the operator’s

position sitting in boat.

1. BOW (front)

2. STARBOARD (RH)

3. STERN (rear)

4. PORT (LH)

This manual applies to different mod-

els of Sea-Doo jet boats. It includes

descriptions and explanations of stan-

dard equipment. As a result you may

find material in this manual that does

not apply to your specific jet boat.

◆WARNING

The engines and the correspond-

ing components identified in this

guide should not be utilized on

product(s) other than those they

were designed for. Maintenance

procedures and specified tight-

ening torques must be strictly ad-

hered to. Never attempt repairs

unless the appropriate tools are

available. This jet boat is de-

signed with parts dimensioned in

both the metric and the imperial

systems. When replacing fasten-

ers, make sure to use only those

recommended by Bombardier.

Mismatched or incorrect fasten-

ers could cause damage to the jet

boat or possible personal injury.

◆ SAFETY WARNING

To fully appreciate the pleasures, en-

joyment and excitement of boating

there are some basic rules that MUST

be observed and followed by any boat-

er. Some rules may be new to you

while 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

boat. Failure to follow this safety in-

formation 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 ob-

tain further boating information from

the local Coast Guard or Power Squad-

ron. We further recommend you take

a safe boating course. Check local and

federal boating laws applicable to the

waterways where you intend to use

the boat. Learn the local rules of the

road.

Become completely familiar with the

controls and operation of the boat be-

fore taking on a passenger(s) or em-

barking on a trip. If you have not had

the opportunity to do so with your

dealer, practice driving solo in a suit-

able area and feel the response of

each control. Start, accelerate then

stop using one then both engines (if

so equipped). Be fully familiar with all

controls before fully pushing the throt-

tle(s).

The performance of this jet boat may

significantly exceed that of other jet

boats you may have operated. There-

fore, use of this jet boat by a novice or

inexperienced operator is not recom-

mended.

Observe and follow all on-product

warning labels and the content of this

guide.

An operator and passenger(s) should

wear suitable eye and body protection

as well as deck shoes or booties.

Coast Guard approved personal floata-

tion devices (PFD) should be worn by

all aboard.

Operation of this boat by a minor or

disabled person is NOT recommend-

ed.

Do not operate the boat after consum-

ing alcohol or drugs.

Store or tie-down any loose articles or

necessary boating equipment before

operating the boat.

Always perform the pre-operation

checks as specified in this guide. This

includes:

– Attaching the safety lanyard to your

PFD or to your wrist using an appro-

priate wrist-band.

– Verification of throttle lever(s),

shifter and steering movement.

– Verification of start/stop button op-

eration.

– Oil and fuel levels.

– Use of blower.

– Adequate water depth.

– Functional navigation lights.

– Required boating equipment (Know

how to use each).

The operator and passenger(s) must

be properly seated in their designated

seats before starting or moving the

boat. Do not permit a passenger to

use the sun seat except in calm wa-

ters and at very low speeds. Never al-

low anyone to sit on the engine com-

partment or boarding platform while

the boat is operational. 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.

lmo9801a.bk : lmo9801b.fm5 Page 7 Friday, August 28, 1998 9:50 AM

Ensure operator all-round visibility is

unrestricted.

While the engine(s) can be stopped by

depressing the start/stop button(s),

good habit recommends that the safe-

ty lanyard be used to stop the en-

gine(s) at all times.

Wave or wake jumping can be danger-

ous and in many regions illegal.

Most boating accidents occur as a re-

sult of the failure of the operator to

keep a lookout for other water users

or other potential hazards. Keep a safe

distance from other boats or water-

craft. Do not attempt to splash others

with your wake. Do not ride the surf

line.

This boat is equipped with bow and

stern navigation lights which should

be used after dark or before dusk.

Lower speed and do not operate the

boat in reduced visibility. This boat is

not equipped with spot-lights.

To prevent accidental starting or unau-

thorized use, always detach the safety

lanyard from the boat especially dur-

ing maintenance, cleaning of the in-

take grate(s), or when swimmers are

nearby.

Ensure that all passengers know how

to reboard the boat from the water.

Always have an observer while towing

a skier.

Know the waters in which the boat is

to be operated. Current, tides, rapids,

shallow water, hidden obstacles etc.,

can effect safe operation.

When boating, apply the principle of

1/3 fuel to destination, 1/3 back and 1/3

reserve fuel supply.

Maintain the boat and equipment in

top condition at all times. Adhere to

the prescribed maintenance sched-

ules. Use a protective cover when not

in use.

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 or passengers which may

alter the boat’s configuration or bal-

ance.

Only perform servicing procedures

which are detailed in this guide. Fur-

ther assistance or information can be

obtained from your dealer. In many in-

stances proper tools and training is re-

quired for certain servicing or repair

procedures.

Gasoline fumes are flammable and ex-

plosive. Always adhere to the fueling

and starting procedures contained in

this guide and those given to you by

the marina.

This boat has the capability of turning

more sharply than other boats, how-

ever, unless in an emergency, do not

negotiate sharp, high speed turns.

Like any other boat, this boat has no

brake. Stopping distance will vary de-

pending on initial speed, load, wind,

and water conditions. Practice stop-

ping and docking in a safe area to have

an idea of how long it will take to stop

the boat under varying conditions.

Prolonged exposure to the sun, wind

etc., causes fatigue and may affect

your reaction time.

Do not overload the boat or take on

more passengers than designated for

the intended type of boating. Load and

altitude will also affect boat perfor-

mance.

Proceed with caution and at very low

speeds in shallow water. Grounding or

abrupt stops may result, or debris may

be picked up and be jettisoned rear-

ward towards people or property. The

impeller(s) are turning even when the

shift lever is at neutral.
