OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Always perform the PRE-
OPERATION CHECKS before
operati n g the watercraft. Become
thoroughly familiar with all con-
trols and the function of each.
Should any control or instruction
not be fully understood, refer to
an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
Principle of Operation
Propulsion
The engine is directly coupled to a
drive shaft which, in turn , rotates an
impelle r. This impeller is accurate-
ly adjusted in a hou sin g where the
water is drawn up from underneath
the watercraft. Then the water flows
through th e impeller to a ve nturi. The
venturi accelerates the water and
produces thrust to move the water-
craft. Depressing the throttle lever
increases engine speed and therefore
watercraft speed.

ed, the operator and passenger(s)

water.
To f ind the neutr al, set in re verse then
push back until the watercraft stops
moving backwards.
The reverse gate will be in the middle
position, directing half of the thrust to-
ward the front of the watercraft to min-
imize watercraft movement.
WARNING
When the watercraft is in neutral
position, the drive shaft and im-
peller a re still turning.
