All personal watercraft are required by federal law to be registered and legally
numbered.
Due to space availability for proper display of registration number, refer to follow-

46 ______________________
BREAK-IN PERIOD
CAUTION: Scrupulously follow the
instructions of this section. Failure
to do so may reduce the engine’s
life and/or performance.
With Sea-Doo watercraft powered by
Rotax® engines, a break-in period of
10 hours is required before continuous
operation at full throttle.
To achieve a good break-in, vary the
engine speed every few minutes with
brief wide open throttle accelerations
of up to 15 seconds.
NOTE: DO NOT add injection oil in the
fuel tank for the break-in.
CAUTION: Continued wide open
throttle runs and prolonged cruis-
ing without speed variations should
be avoided, this can cause engine
damage during the break-in period.
10-Hour Inspection
NOTE: The 10-hour inspection is at the
expense of the watercraft owner.
It is highly recommended that after
the first 10 hours of operation, the
watercraft be checked by an autho-
rized Sea-Doo dealer. This inspection
will also provide the opportunity to dis-
cuss the unanswered questions you
may have encountered during the first
hours of operation.
_____________________ 47
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
WARNING
The pre-operation check is very important prior to operating the water-
craft. Always check the proper operation of critical controls, safety fea-
tures and mechanical components, before starting as listed hereinafter. If
not done as specified here, severe injury or death might occur. Bring all
safety equipment required by local laws.
Some of the following items may not have been previously covered in this
guide, however they will be described in the MAINTENANCE or SPECIAL
PROCEDURES section. Please refer to these sections to have more detailed
information.
WARNING
Engine should be off and the safety lanyard should always be removed
from its post prior to verifying any of the following points. Only start wa-

can improve handling, reduce porpois-

performance.
52 ______________________
When first using the watercraft, the Steering
operator should become familiar with
the use of the variable trim system
(VTS) at varying speeds and water con-
ditions. A mid-range trim is generally
used when cruising. Experience alone
will dictate the best trim for the condi-
tions. During the watercraft break-in
period, when lower speeds are recom-
mended, it is an excellent opportunity
to gain familiarity of trim adjustment
and its effects.
When the nozzle is positioned in an
upward angle, the water thrust directs
the bow of the watercraft upward.
This position is used to optimize high
speed.

General
Only perform servicing procedures
which are detailed in this safety sec-
tion. Further assistance or informa-
tion can be obtained from your au-
thorized Sea-Doo dealer. In many
instances proper tools and training is
required for certain servicing or repair
procedures.
Maintain the watercraft and equip-
ment in top condition at all times. Ad-
here to the prescribed maintenance
schedules. An annual inspection of
the watercraft is always a good recom-
mendation that should be followed.
Always use spark plug cable ground-
ing device when removing spark
plugs.
The bilge should be kept clean of oil,
water or other foreign materials.
Do not attempt to lift the watercraft
without special equipment and train-
ing.
The engine and the corresponding
components identified in this guide
should not be utilized on product(s)
other than for which they were de-
signed. Maintenance procedures and
specified tightening torque should be
strictly adhered to. Never attempt re-
pairs unless the appropriate tools are
available. These watercrafts are de-
signed with parts dimensioned in both
the metric and the imperial systems.
When replacing fasteners, make sure
to use only those recommended by
BRP. If required, contact your au-
thorized Sea-Doo dealer for further
servicing information.

MAINTENANCE CHART
Periodic Inspection
Routine maintenance is necessary for all mechanical products. A periodic inspec-
tion contributes to the product’s life span.
The following maintenance chart gives guidelines for regular watercraft servicing
scheduled to be performed by you and/or by an authorized Sea-Doo dealer. The
schedule should be adjusted according to operating conditions and use.
IMPORTANT: Schedule for watercraft rental operations or higher number of hour
use, will require greater frequency of inspection and maintenance.
The maintenance is very important, if you are not familiar with safe service prac-
tices and adjustment procedures, see your authorized Sea-Doo dealer.

A GPS receiver may be supplied by BRP as standard equipment on certain 2006

ranty issued by the GPS receivers manufacturer and is not covered by this BRP
limited warranty.
Use of the product for racing or any other competitive activity, at any point, even
by a prior owner will render this warranty null and void.

any of the member states of the European Union (EC directive 1999/44/EC). The warranty
period, however, is FOUR (4) consecutive months if the product is used for commercial

uct by a BRP distributor/dealer. Such limitations are necessary in order to allow
BRP to preserve the safety of its products, consumers and the general public.

in order to maintain warranty coverage. BRP reserves the right to make warranty
coverage contingent upon proof of proper maintenance.
6. EXCLUSIONS

7. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY GIVEN AND ACCEPTED IN LIEU OF ANY AND
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PAR-
TICULAR PURPOSE. TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED,
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE LIFE OF THE
EXPRESS WARRANTY. INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARE
EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS WARRANTY. SOME JURISDIC-
TIONS DO NOT ALLOW FOR THE DISCLAIMERS, LIMITATIONS AND EXCLU-
SIONS IDENTIFIED ABOVE, AS A RESULT, THEY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE
OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS WHICH MAY VARY FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY.
Neither the BRP distributor nor any other person has been authorized to make any
affirmation, representation or warranty regarding the product, other than those
contained in this limited warranty, and if made, shall not be enforceable against
BRP.
BRP reserves the right to modify this warranty at any time, being understood that
such modification will not alter the warranty conditions applicable to the products
sold while this warranty is in effect.
8. TRANSFER
If the ownership of a product is transferred during the warranty coverage period,
this warranty shall also be transferred and be valid for the remaining coverage
period provided that BRP is notified of such transfer of ownership in the following
way:
BRP or an authorised BRP distributor/dealer receives a proof that the former own-
er agreed to the transfer of ownership, in addition to the coordinates of the new
owner. The distributor will then forward this information directly to BRP.
102 _____________________
9. CONSUMER ASSISTANCE

warranty, BRP suggests that you try to resolve the issue at the dealership
level. We recommend discussing the issue with the authorised dealer's ser-
vice manager or owner.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS/OWNERSHIP
If your address has changed or if you are the new owner of the personal water-
craft, be sure to notify BRP by either:
– mailing the card below;
– notifying an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
In case of change of ownership, please join a proof that the former owner agreed
to the transfer.
Notifying BRP, even after the expiration of the limited warranty, is very impor-
tant as it enables BRP to reach the personal watercraft owner if necessary, like
when safety recalls are initiated. It is the owner’s responsibility to notify BRP of
a change of address or owner.
STOLEN UNITS: If your personal watercraft is stolen, you should notify BRP or
an authorized Sea-Doo dealer. We will ask you to provide your name, address,
phone number, the hull identification number of your personal watercraft and the
date it was stolen.
