Capsized Watercraft

The watercraft is designed so that it should not turn over easily. Also two sponsons mounted on the side of the hull assist watercraft stability. If it turns over, it will remain capsized.

WARNING

When watercraft is capsized, do not attempt to restart the engine. Operator and passengers should always wear approved personal flotation devices.

To return the watercraft upright, en- sure the engine is off and the DESS key is NOT on its post then grab the inlet grate, step on bumper rail and use your weight to rotate the watercraft in any direction.

The 4-TEC™ engine features a tip-over protection system (T.O.P.S.TM). When watercraft tips over, engine is automat- ically stopped, then a valve is closed to prevent engine oil to flow back in in- take system.

When watercraft is returned to its nor- mal operating position, engine can then be started normally.

NOTICE If watercraft has been capsized for more than 5 minutes, do not attempt to crank engine to avoid water ingestion that would damage the engine. See an autho- rized Sea-Doo dealer as soon as pos- sible.

NOTICE If engine does not crank, do not attempt to start engine any- more. Otherwise engine could be damaged. See an authorized Sea-Doo dealer as soon as possi- ble.

As soon as possible, check for pres- ence of water in the bilge. Drain as necessary when back to the shore.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES

Submerged Watercraft

To limit damages to the engine, per- form the following procedure as soon as possible.

Drain bilge.

If it was submerged in salt water, spray bilge and all components with fresh water using a garden hose to stop the salt corroding effect.

NOTICE Never try to crank or start the engine. Water trapped in intake manifold would flow towards the engine and may cause severe dam- age to the engine.

Bring the watercraft to be serviced by an authorized Sea-Doo dealer as soon as possible.

NOTICE The longer the delay be- fore you have the engine serviced, the greater the damage to the en- gine will be.

Water-Flooded Engine

NOTICE Never try to crank or start the engine. Water trapped in intake manifold would flow towards the engine and may cause severe dam- age to the engine.

Bring the watercraft to be serviced by an authorized Sea-Doo dealer as soon as possible.
