NOTE:
When trailering 2 watercraft, it
may be necessary to remove the inner
wakeboard rack.
All Models
A Sea-Doo cover can protect the wa-
tercraft, particularly before driving on
dirt roads, to prevent dirt entry through
the air intake openings.
Observe trailering safety precautions.
Launching/Loading
CAUTION:
Before launching the
watercraft, ensure the bilge drain
plugs are fully screwed. After load-
ing the watercraft, ensure they are
removed to drain bilge.
Storage
WARNING
Because
fuel
and
oil
are
fl
ammable, have an authorized
Sea-Doo dealer inspect the fuel
system integrity as speci
fi
ed in the
periodic inspection chart.
It is recommended that the watercraft
be serviced by an authorized Sea-Doo
dealer for storage but the following op-
erations can be performed by you with
a minimum of tools.
CAUTION:
Do not run the engine
during the storage period.

fi
berglass
and plastic parts with strong de-
tergent, degreasing agent, paint
thinner, acetone, etc.
For gelcoat repairs, refer to an autho-
rized Sea-Doo dealer. Replace dam-
aged labels/decals.
Fuel System
Sea-Doo fuel stabilizer (or equivalent),
can be added in fuel tank to prevent
fuel deterioration and fuel system
gumming. Follow stabilizer manufac-
turer's instructions for proper use.
CAUTION:
Fuel stabilizer should be
added prior to engine lubrication
to ensure fuel system components
protection against varnish deposits.
WARNING
Always stop the engine before re-
fueling. Fuel is
fl
ammable and ex-
plosive under certain conditions.
Always work in a well ventilated
area. Do not smoke or allow open
fl
ames or sparks in the vicinity. Fu-
el tank may be pressurized, turn

use an open
fl
ame to check fuel
level. When fueling, keep water-
craft level. Do not over
fi
ll or top
off the fuel tank and leave water-
craft in the sun. As temperature
increases, fuel expands and might
over
fl
ow. Always wipe off any fu-
el spillage from the watercraft. Pe-
riodically verify fuel system. Al-
ways turn the fuel tank valve (if
so equipped) to OFF position when
the watercraft is not in use.
