MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
This section includes instructions for
basic maintenance procedures. If you
have the necessary mechanical skills
and the required tools, you can per-
form these procedures. If not, see
your authorized Sea-Doo watercraft
dealer.
WARNING
Turn off the engine and follow
these
maintenance procedures
when performing maintenance.
If you do not follow proper main-
tenance procedures you can be
injured by hot parts, moving parts,
electricity, chemicals or other haz-
ards.
WARNING
Should removal of a locking device
(e.g. lock tabs, self-locking fasten-
ers, etc.) be required, always re-
place with a new one.
NOTICE
Never leave any object,
rag, tool, etc., in the engine com-
partment or in the bilge.
Engine Oil
Recommended Engine Oil
Use XPS SYNTHETIC BLEND OIL
(SUMMER GRADE) (P/N 293 600 121).
130 and 155 Engines
If the XPS engine oil is not available,
use a 5W40 or 10W40 engine oil meet-
ing the requirements for API service
classification SM, SL or SJ. Always
check the API service label certification
on the oil container, it must contain at
least one of the above standards.
255 Supercharged Engines
If the recommended XPS TM engine
oil is not available, use a 10W40 min-
eral engine oil compatible with wet
clutches.
NOTE: The XPS engine oil has been
thoroughly tested to be free of any
additives that could impair the func-
tionality of the supercharger clutch.
NOTICE
NEVER use synthetic oil.
This would impair the proper opera-
tion of the supercharger clutch. Do
not add any additives to the recom-
mended oil. Mineral oils not recom-
mended by BRP may also contain
additives (friction modifiers) that
may cause inappropriate slippage
of the supercharger and eventually
lead to premature wear. For this rea-
son, XPS Synthetic Blend Summer
Grade oil or a BRP approved equiva-
lent are the only recommended oils.
Use of any oil not recommended by
BRP may void BRP's limited war-
ranty.
Engine Oil Level
NOTICE
Check level frequently
and refill if necessary. Do not over-
fill. Operating the engine with an
improper level may severely dam-
age engine.
CAUTION Certain compo-
nents in the engine compartment
may be very hot. Direct contact may
result in skin burn.
Oil level can be checked either with
watercraft in water or out of water.
If Watercraft is Out of the Water
NOTICE
Watercraft must be level.
WARNING
When operating the engine out of
water, the heat exchanger in the
ride plate may become very hot.
Avoid any contact with the ride
plate as burns may occur.
1. Raise trailer tow pole and block in
position when bumper rail is level.
