FUEL AND LUBRICATION _______________________

Fueling Procedure

Do not allow anyone to remain on thewatercraft.Do not smoke or allow open flames inthe vicinity.Have a fire extinguisher close at hand.Do not insert the spout too far in fillerneck.Pour fuel slowly so that air can escapefrom the reservoir and prevent fuelflowback.Do not lean watercraft while fueling.Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck.Do not overfill. Fully tighten fuel tankcap and wipe off any fuel spillage.

Recommended FuelUse regular unleaded gasoline with 87octane (Ron + Mon/2) specification.

NOTE: Look on service stationpump sticker for octane specifica-

tion. Do not mix oil with fuel except atengine break-in. Refer to BREAK-INPERIOD. Always check injection oilreservoir level when refueling.The use of good quality fuel is neces-sary. A well known fuel brand is highlyrecommended.

Recommended OilAll Models Except SPX/GSX/GTX/XP

Use BOMBARDIER ROTAX INJEC-TION OIL which is available from au-thorized dealers. It is a blend of spe-cially selected base oils and additiveswhich provides outstanding lubrica-tion, engine cleanliness and minimumspark plug fouling.

NOTE: High quality low ash APITC injection oil for 2-cycle engines

can be used if BOMBARDIER ROTAXINJECTION OIL is not available

◆ WARNING

Follow these safe boating fuelinginstructions explicitly.

◆ WARNING

Do not lean the watercraft to al-low more fuel to fill the fuel tank.The tank design makes provisionfor fuel expansion of about 5%. Ifthis area is filled, fuel will expandand may come out through fuelvent hose. Keep watercraft hori-zontal while fueling. Always stopthe engine before refueling. Fuelis inflammable and explosive un-der certain conditions. Alwayswork in a well ventilated area. Donot smoke or allow open flamesor sparks in the vicinity. Nevertop off the fuel tank and leave wa-tercraft in the sun. As tempera-ture increases, fuel expands andmight overflow. Always wipe offany fuel spillage from the water-craft.

- CAUTION

Never experiment with other fu-els or fuel ratios. Never use fuelcontaining alcohol, methanol orsimilar products including naph-tha. The use of unrecommendedfuel can result in watercraft per-formance deterioration and dam-age to critical parts in the fuelsystem and engine components.

'

'



47

SPX/GSX/GTX/XP Models Only

Use only BOMBARDIER ROTAX FOR-MULA XP-S synthetic injection oil (orthe equivalent synthetic oil).This fully synthetic oil will provide out-standing cleanliness, less friction andwear for greater engine performanceand durability.

Oil Injection SystemThis watercraft features an oil injec-tion system which does not requiremanual fuel/oil mixing.A sufficient amount of injection oilshould be maintained in the reservoir.

NOTE: Always carry 500 mL ofBOMBARDIER ROTAX INJEC-

TION OIL.

All Models Except HX/XP

To check oil level, remove seat to ex-pose oil cap; unscrew cap, wipe dip-stick then insert in the reservoir neck.Do not screw cap. Remove dipstickand read the level.Use a flexible funnel to add the re-quired quantity of injection oil. Wipeoff any oil spillage.

HX/XP Models Only

To check oil level, open hood and veri-fy level through oil reservoir. Unscrewcap to add oil as necessary.Use a flexible funnel to add the re-quired quantity of injection oil. Wipeoff any oil spillage.

All Models

- CAUTION

Never use 4-cycle petroleum orsynthetic motor oil and never mixthese with outboard motor oil.Do not use NMMA TC-W, TC-W2or TC-W3 outboard motor oils orother ashless type 2-cycle oil.Avoid mixing different brands ofAPI TC oil as resulting chemicalreaction may cause severe en-gine damage.

- CAUTION

The 787 engine requires the useof Bombardier Rotax FormulaXP-S SYNTHETIC injection oil (orthe equivalent synthetic oil). Theuse of any other non-synthetic oilmay cause severe damage to in-ternal parts of the engine.

'

- CAUTION

Always maintain a sufficientamount of injection oil in the oilreservoir. Check and refill everytime you refuel. Do not overfill. Ifthe engine runs out of oil, severeengine damage will occur. If theoil reservoir is found almostempty, air can enter in the systemand it must be bled. Immediatelyrefer to an authorized dealer tohave the oil injection system in-spected.

BREAK-IN PERIOD_______________________________

EngineWith Bombardier-Rotax® watercraftengines, a break-in period is requiredbefore operating the engine at fullthrottle. Engine manufacturer recom-mendation is about 10 operatinghours.During this period, maximum throttleshould not exceed 3/4, however, briefacceleration and speed variations con-tribute to a good break-in. Continuedwide open throttle accelerations, pro-longed cruising speeds and overload-ing the engine are detrimental duringthe break-in period.To assure additional protection duringthe initial engine break-in, BOMBAR-DIER ROTAX INJECTION OIL shouldbe added in the fuel tank for the firstfull fuel tank filling only.

SPX/GSX/GTX/XP Models

To assure additional protection duringthe initial engine break-in, BOMBAR-DIER ROTAX FORMULA XP-S syn-thetic injection oil should be added tothe first full fuel tank filling only.

All Models

To add injection oil in the fuel tank, pro-ceed as follows:Fill fuel tank with approximately 15 li-ters (4 gal) of gasoline; then, add therequired quantity of injection oil in thefuel tank.Fill up fuel tank with gasoline. Do notoverfill.

NOTE: It is important to proceedin this order to allow a proper mix-

ing of the oil in the gasoline.

10-Hour InspectionIt is highly recommended that afterthe first 10 hours of operation, the wa-tercraft be checked by an authorizeddealer. This inspection will also pro-vide the opportunity to discuss the un-answered questions you may have en-countered during the first hours ofoperation.

◆ WARNING

If engine does not shut-off whenpushing engine start/stop buttonor by disconnecting the safetylanyard, stop the engine by ap-plying the choke and turning fuelvalve to OFF position. Do not op-erate the watercraft further, seean authorized dealer.

◆ WARNING

Always wear a Coast Guard ap-proved PFD. It is also recom-mended that gloves, wet suit,deck shoes/booties and protec-tive glasses be worn when oper-ating the watercraft. In someinstances, for example racing orbuoy courses, an approved hel-met should be worn.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ____________________

Principle of OperationPropulsionThe engine is directly coupled to adrive shaft which, in turn, rotates animpeller. This impeller is accurately ad-justed in a housing where the water isdrawn up from underneath the water-craft. Then the water flows throughthe impeller to a venturi. The venturiaccelerates the water and producesthrust to move the watercraft. De-pressing the throttle lever increasesengine speed and therefore water-craft speed.

TYPICAL

Reverse(GTS/GTI/GTX Models)The selector lever is used for eitherdriving the watercraft forward or back-ward. With the lever pushed in, thewatercraft is in forward position, withthe lever fully pulled out, reverse posi-tion is obtained. The lever middle posi-tion is neutral. These 3 functions areproduced by the mean of a gate,which is installed on jet pump venturihousing. This gate directs the waterflow to get the proper function.

Variable Trim System (VTS)(SPX/GSI/GSX/XP Models)The variable trim system (VTS) chang-es the angle of the jet pump nozzle toprovide the operator with a fast, effec-tive system to compensate for load,thrust, riding position and water condi-tions. Correctly adjusted, it can im-prove handling, reduce porpoising,and position the watercraft at its bestriding angle to attain maximum perfor-mance.When first using the craft, the opera-tor should become familiar with theuse of the variable trim system (VTS)at varying speeds and water condi-tions. A mid-range trim is generallyused when cruising. Experience alonewill dictate the best trim for the condi-tions. During the watercraft break-inperiod, when lower speeds are rec-ommended, it is an excellent opportu-nity to gain familiarity of trim adjust-ment and its effects.

◆ WARNING

Always perform the PRE-OPERA-TION CHECKS before operatingthe watercraft. Become thor-oughly familiar with all controlsand the function of each. Shouldany control or instruction not befully understood, refer to an au-thorized dealer.

◆ WARNING

Whenever the engine is to bestarted, the operator and anypassenger(s) should always besitting on the watercraft.

F01J3Y

◆ WARNING

Selector lever should only beused when the engine is idling.Ensure lever is pushed in andlocked.



54

When the nozzle is positioned in anupward angle, the water thrust directsthe bow of the watercraft upward.This position is used to optimize highspeed.

HX Model

1. Bow up2. Knob turned counterclockwise3. Nozzle up

SPX/GSI/GSX/HX/XP Models

When the nozzle is directed down-ward, the bow is forced downwardand enhances the craft turning capa-bilities. As with any watercraft, speedand operator body position and move-ment (body English), will determinethe degree and sharpness of the craftturn. Porpoising can be reduced oreliminated if the nozzle is downwardand speed adjusted proportionately.

POST-OPERATION CARE________________________

General CareShould any water be present in thehull, unscrew the drain plug and tilt thewatercraft to the rear in order to allowwater to flow out.Wipe up any remaining liquid in the en-gine compartment (bilge, engine, bat-tery, etc.) with clean dry rags (this is par-ticularly important in salt water use).Remove the watercraft from the wa-ter every day to prevent marine organ-isms growth.Leave the seat partially opened (ex-cept HX). This will avoid engine com-partment condensation and possiblecorrosion.

HX Model

Open rear cover partially.

All Models

NOTE: When the watercraft isstored with seat partially opened

and without a tarpaulin, unscrew thedrain plug in order to avoid water buildup in the bilge during rainfall.

Additional Care for Foul Water or Salt WaterWhen the watercraft is operated infoul water and particularly in salt wa-ter, additional care must be taken toprotect the watercraft and its compo-nents. Rinse bilge area with fresh wa-ter.

Cooling System Flushing and Engine Internal LubricationFlushing the cooling system withfresh water is essential to neutralizecorroding effects of salt or otherchemical products present in water. Itwill help to clean up sand, salt, shellsor other particles in water jackets (en-gine, exhaust manifold, tuned pipe)and/or hoses.Engine lubrication and flushing shouldbe performed when the watercraft isnot expected to be used further thesame day or when the watercraft isstored for any extended time.Proceed as follows:

Clean jet pump by spraying water in itsinlet and outlet and then BOMBAR-DIER LUBE lubricant.Remove seat to allow access to cool-ing system (for the HX model, openhood).

SP/SPX/GTS Models

Remove dust cap from fitting spigotand attach coupler hose (P/N 295 500099). Make sure coupler hose is prop-erly locked to fitting spigot.Install a hose pincher on water outlethose.

NOTE: This prevents water fromdirectly exiting cooling system.

- CAUTION

Failure to perform proper caresuch as: watercraft rinsing, cool-ing system flushing and anticor-rosion treatment, when water-craft is used in salt water, will re-sult in damage to the watercraftand its components. Never leavethe watercraft stored in directsunlight. UV rays will eventuallydull finishes.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES _________________________

Engine OverheatingIf the monitoring beeper sounds con-tinuously, stop engine immediately.Perform Jet Pump Water Intake andImpeller Cleaning procedure shownin this section.Flush cooling system, refer to POST-OPERATION CARE.If engine still overheats, refer to an au-thorized dealer for servicing.

Jet Pump Water Intake and Impeller CleaningWeeds, shells or debris can getcaught on the intake grate, drive shaftand/or impeller. A clogged water in-take may cause troubles such as:1. Cavitation: Engine speed is high

but watercraft moves slowly due toreduced jet thrust, jet pump com-ponents may be damaged.

2. Overheating: Since the jet pumpoperation controls the flow of waterto cool the engine, a clogged intakewill cause the engine to overheatand damage engine internal com-ponents.

A weed clogged area can be cleanedas follows:

In-Water CleaningRock the watercraft several timeswhile repeatedly pressing start/stopbutton for short period without start-ing engine. Most of the time, this willresult in letting the weeds fall from theintake area. Start engine and makesure water flows out from bleed out-let(s) and watercraft operates proper-ly.

GTS/GTI/GTX Models Only

If the afore mentioned method doesnot work, the following can be per-formed:– With engine running, put selector

lever in reverse position and varythrottle quickly several times.

– Retry.

On-Beach CleaningPlace a cardboard or a carpet besidethe watercraft to prevent scratchingwhen turning the watercraft for clean-ing.

Rotate the watercraft counterclock-wise (seen from rear) to its left sidefor cleaning. Rotating watercraft coun-terclockwise eliminates the possibilityof residual water in the tuned pipe en-tering the engine and causing enginedamage.

Clean the water intake area. If the sys-tem is still clogged, refer to an autho-rized dealer for servicing.

◆ WARNING

Always remove safety lanyardcap from switch to prevent acci-dental engine starting beforecleaning the jet pump area.

Capsized WatercraftSP Series

The watercraft is designed so that if itis turned over, it should not remaincapsized due to its self-righting capa-bility.After roll over, always tip watercraftcounterclockwise (maximum 90°) be-fore restarting engine.

GS Series/GTS/GTI/GTX/HX/XP Models

The watercraft is designed so that itshould not turn over easily, due to itslonger and larger dimensions and itsfull vee hull. Also two sponsonsmounted on the side of the hull assistwatercraft stability. If it turns over, itwill remain capsized due to its nonself-righting capability. To return thewatercraft upright rotate it clockwise(seen from rear) by pushing on theright side then handhold the side ofwater intake HOLE and use yourweight to complete the rotation of wa-tercraft.

Submerged WatercraftIf 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, removespark plug cables and connect themon the grounding device.

Remove spark plugs and dry themwith a clean and dry cloth.Cover spark plug holes with a rag.Crank engine to allow water to escapefrom spark plug openings.Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricantinto 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.

Towing the Watercraft in WaterSpecial precautions should be takenwhen towing a Sea-Doo watercraft inwater.Maximum recommended towingspeed is 24 km/h (15 MPH).

When towing your watercraft in wa-ter, pinch the water supply hosefrom the impeller housing to the en-gine with the Hose Pincher (large)P/N 529 030 400 shown in the fol-lowing illustration.This will prevent the cooling systemfrom filling which may lead to waterbeing injected into and filling the ex-haust system. Without the engine run-ning there isn’t any exhaust pressureto carry the water out the exhaust out-let.

Snugly install the hose pincher on thehose as shown in the following photo.

TYPICAL1. Hose pincher installed

Low-Charge Battery ConditionSee your dealer to have it charged orreplaced.

- CAUTION

Failure to do this may result indamage to the engine. If youmust tow a stranded watercraft inwater and do not have a hosepincher be sure to stay well be-low the maximum towing speedof 24 km/h (15 MPH).
