Capsized Watercraft
SP Series
The watercraft is designed so that if it
is turned over, it should not remain
capsized due to its self-righting capa-
bility.
After roll over, always tip watercraft
counterclockwise (maximum 90°) be-
fore restarting engine.
GS Series/GTS/GTI/GTX/HX/XP
Models
The watercraft is designed so that it
should not turn over easily, due to its
longer and larger dimensions and its
full vee hull. Also two sponsons
mounted on the side of the hull assist
watercraft stability. If it turns over, it
will remain capsized due to its non
self-righting capability. To return the
watercraft upright rotate it
clockwise
(seen from rear) by pushing on the
right side then handhold the side of
water intake
HOLE
and use your
weight to complete the rotation of wa-
tercraft.
Submerged Watercraft
If the watercraft is submerged and en-
gine is water-flooded, it is strongly rec-
ommended that the watercraft be ser-
viced by an authorized dealer im-
mediately.
In the event the engine cannot be ser-
viced within a few hours, remove
spark plug cables and connect them
on the grounding device.
Remove spark plugs and dry them
with a clean and dry cloth.
Cover spark plug holes with a rag.
Crank engine to allow water to escape
from spark plug openings.
Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant
into spark plug holes.
Crank engine again.
Reinstall spark plugs.
XP/GSX/GTX
Remove balancing shaft drain plug.
Ensure that there is no water contam-
ination.
Re-install drain plug.
Add 30 ml (1 oz) of Formula XP-S syn-
thetic injection oil through filler plug.
