OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Launching/Loading
CAUTION: Before launching the boat,
ensure the main battery cut-off switch
is turned ON and the bilge plugs are
fully screwed into place.
When finished loading the boat on trail-
er, block the wheels and raise the bow
slightly with the trailer jack (if so
equipped), and remove the bilge plugs
to allow water to drain. Turn the main
battery cut-off switch to the OFF posi-
tion.
Trailering
Refer to the trailer or implement man-
ufacturer instructions for proper ca-
pacity, operation, maintenance, acces-
sories and warranty.
Check the regulations in your area con-
cerning towing a trailer, especially the
following rules:
– brake system
– tow vehicle weight
– mirrors.
NOTE: An optional brake system is
available for your trailer, contact Karavan
Trailers (www.karavantrailers.com).
Take the following precautions when
trailering the boat:
Tie the boat to both bow and stern
(front/rear) eyelets so that it is firmly
retained on the trailer.
– Remove stern light (if installed).
– Ensure all storage compartment cov-
ers are properly latched.
– Ensure windshield door is securely
locked in the closed position.
– A SEA-DOO cover can protect the
boat, particularly before driving on
dirt roads, to prevent dirt entry
through the air intake opening(s).
Observe trailering safety precautions.
Principle of Operation
Propulsion
The engine is directly coupled to a
drive shaft which, in turn, rotates an
impeller. This impeller rotates within a
housing drawing water in from be-
neath the boat. Water is then forced by
the impeller through a venturi. The
venturi pressurizes and accelerates
the water, producing thrust to move
the boat. Pushing the throttle/shift le-
ver forward increase engine speed and
therefore boat speed.
Throttle/Shift Lever
FORWARD
The throttle/shift lever should be in the
forward position in order for the boat
to advance.
To move forward, depress throttle/
shift lever button then gradually push
lever forward to increase boat speed.
WARNING
Always perform PRE-OPERATION
CHECKS before operating the boat.
Become thoroughly familiar with
all controls and the function of
each. Should any control or in-
struction be not fully understood,
refer to an authorized SEA-DOO
sport boat dealer.
WARNING
Whenever an engine is to be start-
ed, the operator and passengers
should always be sitting in the boat
with the throttle/shift lever in neu-
tral position.
