WARNING A lw a y s p e rf orm t he PR EOPERATION CHECKS before operating the craft. Become thoroughly familiar with all controls and the function of each. Should any control or instruction not be fully understood, refer to an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
Trailering
WARNING Always turn the fuel valve to OFF position when trailering or docking the craft.
WARNING Never tip this vehicle on end for transporting. We recommend that you carry the vehicle in its normal operating position. Refer to the trailer or implement manufacturer instructions for proper capacity, operation, maintenance, accessories and warranty. Check the regulations in your area concerning towing a trailer, especially the following rules: – brake system – tow vehicle weight – mirrors. Take the following precautions when towing the craft: Tie the craft to both bow and stern (front/rear) eyelets so that it is firmly retained on the trailer. Use additional tie-downs if necessary.
– Ensure all storage compartment covers are properly latched. – A SEA-DOO cover can protect the craft, particularly before driving on dirt roads, to prevent dirt entry through the air intake opening(s). Observe trailering safety precautions. Launching/Loading CAUTION: Before launching the craft, ensure the bilge plugs are fully screwed and after loading the craft, ensure they are removed 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.
