SPECIAL PROCEDURES

Monitoring System

All Models except DI Models

To assist you when using the water-

craft, a system monitors some compo-

nent of the watercraft and sends audi-

ble signals through a beeper to inform

you of a particular condition. Refer to

the TROUBLESHOOTING section for

the coded signals chart.

Limp Home Mode

DI Models

Monitoring System

To assist you when using the water-

craft, a system monitors the electronic

components of the fuel injection sys-

tem and some components of the

electrical system. When a fault occurs,

it sends visual messages through the

information center and/or audible sig-

nals through a beeper to inform you of

a particular condition. Refer to the IN-

FORMATION CENTER for the displayed

messages and the TROUBLESHOOT-

ING section for the beeper coded sig-

nals chart.

Limp Home Modes

Besides the signals as seen above, the

system may automatically set default

parameters to the MPEM to ensure

the adequate operation of the water-

craft if a component of the fuel injec-

tion system is not operating properly.

Depending on the severity of the mal-

function, the watercraft speed may be

reduced and not allowed to reach its

top speed as usual. In this case, letting

the engine returning at idle speed may

allow normal operation to come back.

The engine RPM may be limited to idle

if some critical components fail. In this

case, removing and reinstalling the

safety lanyard on its post may allow

normal operation to come back.

These performance-reduced modes

allow the rider to go back home which

would not be possible without this ad-

vanced system. If this occurs, see an

authorized SEA-DOO dealer as soon as

possible for inspection.

Engine Overheating

All Models

CAUTION: If the monitoring beeper

continuously sounds, stop engine im-

mediately.

Perform JET PUMP WATER INTAKE

AND IMPELLER CLEANING proce-

dure described in this section.

When back to shore, flush cooling sys-

tem, refer to POST-OPERATION CARE.

If engine still overheats, refer to an au-

thorized SEA-DOO dealer for servicing.

Jet Pump Water Intake and

Impeller Cleaning

Weeds, shells or debris can get caught

on the intake grate, drive shaft and/or

impeller. A clogged water intake may

cause troubles such as:

1. Cavitation: Engine speed is high but

watercraft moves slowly due to re-

duced jet thrust, jet pump compo-

nents may be damaged.

2. Overheating: Since the jet pump

operation controls the flow of water

to cool the engine, a clogged intake

will cause the engine to overheat

and damage engine internal compo-

nents.



WARNING

Keep away from intake grate while

engine is on. Items such as long

hair, loose clothing or personal flo-

tation device straps can become

entangled in moving parts result-

ing in severe injury or drowning.
