When finished with loading the boat
on trailer, it is suggested to turn the
main battery cut-off switch to OFF.
After loading the craft, ensure the
main battery cut-off switch is turned
OFF and the bilge plugs are remove to
drain bilge.
Trailering
Refer to the trailer instructions for
proper capacity, operation, mainte-
nance, accessories 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, see an autho-
rized Sea-Doo dealer.
Take the following precautions when
trailering the craft:
Tie the craft to both bow and stern
(front/rear) eyelets so that it is firmly
retained on the trailer. Use additional
tie-downs if necessary.
– Remove stern light (if installed).
– Ensure that ski post is pushed down.
– Ensure all storage compartment cov-
ers are properly latched.
– A SEA-DOO cover can protect the
craft, particularly before driving on
dirt roads, to prevent dirt entry
through the air intake opening(s).
Observe trailering safety precautions.
Principle of Operation
Propulsion
Each engine is directly coupled to a
drive shaft which, in turn, rotates an
impeller. This impeller is accurately ad-
justed in a housing where the water is
drawn up from underneath the sport
boat. Then, the water flows through
the impeller to a venturi. The venturi
accelerates the water and produces
thrust to move the sport boat. Pushing
the throttle lever(s) forward increase
engine speed and therefore sport boat
speed.
With shift lever pushed forward, the
sport boat moves forward. In pulled
back position, the sport boat moves
backward. The middle position is neu-
tral and the sport boat is at the mini-
mum thrust for most conditions. Neu-
tral and reverse are achieved by means
of a gate, which is installed on jet pump
venturi housing. This gate directs the
water flow to obtain the desired direc-
tion.
TYPICAL
WARNING
When the craft is in neutral posi-
tion, the impeller is turning.
WARNING
Shift lever should only be used
when the engine is idling and craft
is completely stopped.
