SPECIAL PROCEDURES
WARNING
When moving the iBR gate using
the iBR override function, ensure
no one stands near the rear of the
watercraft. Movement of the gate
may squeeze fingers.
Capsized Watercraft
The watercraft is designed so that it
should not turn over easily. Two spon-
sons mounted on the side of the hull
assist watercraft stability. If it turns
over, it will remain capsized.
WARNING
When watercraft is capsized, do
not attempt to restart the engine.
Operator and passengers should
always wear approved personal
flotation devices.
To turn the watercraft upright, ensure
the engine is off and the D.E.S.S. key
is NOT on its post, then grab the inlet
grate, step on a side bumper rail and
use your weight to rotate the water-
craft towards you.
NOTE: A label on the stern near the
flushing connector provides instruc-
tions on how to turn the watercraft
right side up. The label is upside down
sothatitcanbereadwhenthewater-
craft is overturned.

The 4-TEC
TM
engine features a tip-over
protection system (T.O.P.S.
TM
). When
the watercraft tips over, the engine is
automatically stopped.
When the watercraft is returned to its
normal operating position, the engine
can be started normally.
NOTICE
If the watercraft has been
capsized for more than 5 minutes,
do not attempt to crank the engine
to avoid water ingestion that would
damage the engine. See an autho-
rized Sea-Doo dealer as soon as pos-
sible.

crank, do not attempt to start it any-
more. Otherwise, the engine could
be damaged. See an authorized
Sea-Doo dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
