To Do
Read and understand all warning/cau-
tion labels on your Sea-Doo PWC, your
OPERATOR’S GUIDE, all other safety
documents, and watch properly your
SAFETY VIDEO, before operating. Al-
ways keep in mind that the ““ sym-
bol, the Warning symbol, identifies an
instruction which, if not followed, may
cause serious personal injuries includ-
ing the possibility of death.
Check local and federal boating laws
applicable to the waterways where
you intend to use your watercraft.
Learn the local rules of the road.
Know and understand the applicable
navigation system (such as buoys and
signs).
Know the waters in which the water-
craft is to be operated. Current, tides,
rapids, hidden obstacles, wakes and
waves etc. can affect safe operation.
It is not advisable to operate the water-
craft in rough or inclement weather.
For safety reasons and proper care,
always perform “Daily Pre-Operation
Checks” as specified in your OPER-
ATOR’S GUIDE before operating your
watercraft.
Keep the engine shut-off cord (safe-
ty lanyard) attached to the operator’s
PFD at all times and keep it free from
handlebars so that engine stops if op-
erator falls off. After riding, remove
cord from PWC to avoid unauthorized
use by children or others. If operator
falls off the watercraft and safety lan-
yard is unattached, the watercraft will
not stop.

severe injuries.
Do not start or operate the watercraft
if anyone is seated on the deck or
swim platform, or is nearby in the wa-
ter. Water and/or debris exiting jet
thrust nozzle can cause severe injury.
The operator should be properly stand-
ing or seated before starting or moving
the watercraft, and at all times when

To prevent accidental starting, always
detach the safety lanyard from the wa-
tercraft during removal of any weeds
or debris from the intake grate.
It should be remembered that sun,
wind, alcohol, drugs, fatigue and ill-
ness, may impair your judgement and
reaction time.
On a PWC, never place your feet and
legs in the water to aid turning.

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:

WEAR A PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE (PFD). All riders must wear a Coast Guard approved PFD that is suitable for
personal watercraft (PWC) use.
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. Severe internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of falling
into water or being near jet thrust nozzle. Normal swimwear does not adequately protect against forceful water entry into lower
body opening(s) of males or females. All riders must wear a wet suit bottom or clothing that provides equivalent protection (see
Operator’s Guide). Footwear, gloves and goggles/glasses are recommended.
KNOW BOATING LAWS. Bombardier recommends a minimum operator age of 16 years old. Know the operator age and
training requirement for your province/state. A boating safety course is recommended and may be required in your

Oil Injection System

This watercraft features an oil injection
system which does not require manu-
al fuel/oil mixing.
A sufficient amount of injection oil
should be maintained in the reservoir.
The use of a funnel is recommended
to pour the oil into the reservoir. Stop
filling as soon as oil appears at approx-
imately 13 mm (1/2 in) from top of
reservoir. Do not overfill.
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.

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.

BRP INTERNATIONAL LIMITED WARRANTY: 2006
SEA-DOO® 3DTM DI PERSONAL WATERCRAFT
1. SCOPE
Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (“BRP”) warrants its model-year 2006
Sea-Doo personal watercraft from defects in material or workmanship for the
period described below.
All genuine BRP parts and accessories, installed by an authorized BRP distribu-
tor/dealer (as hereinafter defined) at the time of delivery of the Sea-Doo personal
watercraft, carry the same warranty as that of the personal watercraft.
A GPS receiver may be supplied by BRP as standard equipment on certain 2006
Sea-Doo personal watercraft. The GPS receiver is covered by the limited war-
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.
2. WARRANTY COVERAGE DURATION

This warranty will be in effect from the date of delivery to the first retail consumer
or the date the product is first put into use, whichever occurs first and for a period
of:
a) TWELVE (12) CONSECUTIVE MONTHS, for private recreational use. 1
b) FOUR (4) CONSECUTIVE MONTHS, for commercial use. A personal wa-
tercraft is used commercially when it is used in connection with generating
income or any work or employment during any part of the warranty period. A
personal watercraft is also used commercially when, at any point during the
warranty period, it has commercial tags or is licensed for commercial use.
The repair or replacement of parts or the performance of service under this
warranty does not extend the life of this warranty beyond its original expira-
tion date.
The repair or replacement of parts or the performance of service under this war-
ranty does not extend the life of this warranty beyond its original expiration date.
3. CONDITIONS TO HAVE WARRANTY COVERAGE

This warranty coverage is available only on Sea-Doo personal watercraft pur-

thorized to distribute Sea-Doo products in the country in which the sale occurred
(hereinafter “BRP distributor/dealer”), and then only after the BRP specified pre-
delivery inspection process is completed and documented.
1. The warranty is TWENTY FOUR (24) consecutive months if the product was sold in
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
purposes.
100 _____________________

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.
Routine maintenance outlined in the Operator’s Guide must be timely performed
in order to maintain warranty coverage. BRP reserves the right to make warranty
coverage contingent upon proof of proper maintenance.
4. WHAT TO DO TO OBTAIN WARRANTY COVERAGE

of the appearance of a defect, and provide it with reasonable access to the prod-
uct and reasonable opportunity to repair it. The customer must also present to
the BRP distributor/dealer, proof of purchase of the product and must sign the
repair/work order prior to the start of the repair in order to validate the warran-
ty repair. All parts replaced under this limited warranty become the property of
BRP.
5. WHAT BRP WILL DO

BRP’s obligations under this warranty are limited to, at its sole discretion, repair-
ing parts found defective under normal use, maintenance and service, or replac-
ing such parts with new genuine BRP parts without charge for parts and labor, at

assuming any obligation to modify products previously manufactured.
6. EXCLUSIONS
The following are not warranted under any circumstances:
• Normal wear and tear;
• Routine maintenance items, tune ups, adjustments;
• Damage caused by failure to provide proper maintenance and/or storage, as
described in the Operator’s Guide;

of God;
• Operation with fuels, oils or lubricants which are not suitable for use with the
product (see the Operator’s Guide);
• Water damages caused by water ingestion;
• Damages related to gel coat finish including but not limited to cosmetic gel

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.

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.
