Doin’it on your new Sea-Doo Watercraft

Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a Sea-Doo personal watercraft.
Whether you are an experienced boater or are new to the sport of boating, we
ask you to take the time to view the

Videocassette

provided with the watercraft,

to read this

Operator’s Guide

, the

Safety Handbook

and familiarize yourself with

the contents. These guides contain pertinent information which, if followed, will
provide you with the necessary knowledge to help you fully enjoy the pleasures
of this watercraft.

We strongly recommend that any watercraft operator complete a safety boating
course. Check with your local Coast Guard or Power and Sail Squadron in your
area for course availability. More serious boaters may want to obtain

Chapman

Piloting

by Elbert S. Maloney, available at most book stores.

When introducing your family or friends to the sport, be sure they fully understand
the controls and operation of the watercraft and the importance of courteous,
responsible riding.

Each operator has a responsibility to ensure the passenger safety and the safety
of other water users. Please follow all safety instructions and drive with care.

We encourage you to have an Annual Safety Inspection of your watercraft. Please
contact your dealer for further details.

Finally, we urge you to visit your dealer regularly for regular and safety mainte-
nance as well as any watercraft accessories you may require.

Have fun and... Bon Voyage.

Please keep this

Guide

and

Safety Handbook

on board. These manuals

should remain with the watercraft at time of resale.
