Riding with a passenger(s) or pulling
other boats, tubes, skies or wake-
boards makes the craft handle differ-
ently and requires greater skill. Do
not overload the craft or take on
more passengers than designated
for the particular craft. Overloading
can affect maneuverability, stability
and performance. Avoid adding on
accessories, or equipment which
may alter your control of the craft.
The craft may be fitted with tow eye-
lets which can be used to attach a ski
rope. However, do not use these
eyelets or the craft’s cleats to tow a
parasail. Severe craft damage may
occur.
In shallow water, proceed with cau-
tion and at very low speeds. Ground-
ing or abrupt stops may result in in-
jury. Debris may also be picked up
and be thrown rearward by the jet
pump onto people or property.
Respect no wake zones, the rights
of other water users and the envi-
ronment. As the “skipper” and
owner of a craft you are responsible
for damage to other boats caused
by the wake of your craft. Allow no
one to throw refuse overboard.
Remember, gasoline fumes are in-
flammable and explosive. Always
adhere to the fueling procedure
contained in this guide and those
given to you by the marina. Always
verify fuel level before use and dur-
ing the ride. Apply the principle of
1/3 fuel to destination, 1/3 back and
1/3 reserve fuel supply. Do not carry
spare fuel or inflammable liquids in
any of the storage or engine com-
partments.
Combustion engine needs air to op-
erate; consequently this craft can
not be totally watertight. Any man-
ouvers such as figure eights etc.,
that cause the upper deck to be un-
der water may cause severe engine
problems due to water ingestion.
Refer to SPECIAL PROCEDURES
and Limited Warranty contained in
this guide.
Due to the close proximity of other
racers. It is recommended that an
approved personal watercraft hel-
met be used during racing events.
Read and follow all instructions and
warnings provided with the helmet.
Maintenance

which are detailed in this guide. Fur-
ther assistance or information can
be obtained from your dealer. In
many instances proper tools and
training is required for certain ser-
vicing or repair procedures.
Maintain the craft and equipment in
top condition at all times. Adhere to
the prescribed maintenance sched-
ules. An annual inspection of the
craft is always a good recommenda-
tion that should be followed.
Always use spark plug cable ground-
ing device when removing spark
plugs.
The bilge must be kept clean of oil,
water or other foreign materials.
Do not attempt to lift the craft with-
out special equipment and training.
The engine and the corresponding
components identified in this guide
should not be utilized on product(s)
other than for those they were de-
signed. Maintenance procedures
and specified tightening torque
must be strictly adhered to. Never
attempt repairs unless the appropri-
ate tools are available. These water-
craft are designed with parts dimen-
sioned in both the metric and the
imperial systems. When replacing
fasteners, make sure to use only
those recommended by Bombar-
dier. If required, contact your dealer
