PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
WARNING
Perform a pre-ride inspection before each ride to detect potential problems
during operation. The pre-ride inspection can help you monitor wear and
deterioration before they become a problem. Correct any problems that
you discover to reduce the risk of a breakdown or crash. See an authorized
Sea-Doo dealer as necessary.
Before performing the pre-ride inspection, read and understand the
CONTROLS
section.
