OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Always perform the PRE-OPERA-
TION CHECKS before operating
the watercraft. Become thorough-
ly 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.
Principle of Operation
Propulsion
The engine is directly coupled to a
drive shaft which, in turn, rotates an
impeller.
This impeller is accurate-
ly adjusted in a housing where the
water is drawn up from underneath
the watercraft. Then the water flows
through the impeller to a venturi. The
venturi accelerates the water and
produces thrust to move the water-
craft.
Depressing the throttle lever
increases engine speed and therefore
watercraft speed.

TYPICAL
WARNING
Whenever the engine is to be start-
ed, the operator and passenger(s)
should always be properly sitting
on the watercraft and be wear-
ing protective clothing including a
Coast Guard approved PFD and a
wet suit bottom.
WARNING
Keep away from intake grate while
engine is on. Items such as long
hair, loose clothing or personal
flotation device straps can become
entangled in moving parts result-
ing in severe injury or drowning.
The shift lever should be in the for-
ward position in order for the water-
craft to advance.
Neutral and Reverse
WARNING
Never use jet pump components
as a supporting point to board
the watercraft. Shift lever should
only be used when the engine is
idling and watercraft is complete-
ly stopped. Never rev the engine
at high RPM in reverse. Do not
use reverse to stop the watercraft.
Only use reverse at slow speed
and for the shortest time possible.
Always ensure the path behind
is clear of objects and persons
including children playing in shal-
low water.
To find the neutral, set in reverse 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 are still turning.
