To return the watercraft upright, en-
sure the engine is off and the safety
lanyard is NOT on its post then grab
the inlet grate, step on bumper rail and
use your weight to rotate the water-
craft in any direction.
The 4-TEC engine features a tip-over
protection system (TOPS™). When
watercraft tips over, engine is auto-
matically stopped, then a valve is
closed to prevent engine oil to flow
back in intake system.
When watercraft is returned to its nor-
mal operating position, engine can
then be started normally.
CAUTION: If watercraft has been cap-
sized for more than 5 minutes, do not
attempt to crank engine to avoid wa-
ter ingestion which would damage
the engine. See an authorized Sea-
Doo dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION: 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 possible.
As soon as possible, check for pres-
ence of water in the bilge. Drain as
necessary when back to the shore.
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 wa-
ter using a garden hose to stop the salt
corroding effect.
CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION: The longer the delay be-
fore you have the engine serviced,
the greater the damage to the en-
gine will be.
Water-Flooded Engine
CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION: The longer the delay be-
fore you have the engine serviced,
the greater the damage to the en-
gine will be. Failure to have the en-
gine properly serviced may cause
severe engine damage.
Fuel-Flooded Engine
When the engine does not start after
several attempts, the engine may be
fuel-flooded. Proceed as follows.
To prevent fuel to be injected and also
to cut the ignition at the engine crank-
ing, proceed as follows.
While engine is stopped, fully depress
throttle lever and HOLD for cranking.
Crank engine several times.
If it does not work:
Pull engine cover upward to remove it.
WARNING
When watercraft is capsized, do
not attempt to restart the engine.
Operator and passengers should
always wear approved personal
flotation devices.
