Be fullyfamiliar with all controls beforeadvancing the throttle above idlespeed. As its operator, you controland are responsible for the craft’ssafe operation.Operation Always perform the pre-operationchecks as specified in this guide. Always keep in mind that as thethrottle lever is released to idle position,less directional control is available.To turn the craft, both steeringand throttle are necessary.

Remain flexible and avoidsharp turns. Never place your feetand legs in the water to aid turning. This craft has no brake. Stoppingdistance will vary depending on initialspeed, load, wind, and waterconditions. Practice stopping anddocking in a safe, traffic free area tohave an idea of how long it will taketo stop the craft under varying conditions.Donot release throttlewhen trying to steer away fromobjects. You need throttle to stear.Do not use the craft’s reverse, if soequipped, to stop. Ensure that all passengers knowhow to swim and how to reboardthe craft from the water. The operator and passenger(s)should be properly seated andwearing an approved PFD beforestarting or moving the craft.

The BOMBARDIER Formula XP-S syntheticinjection oil provides superiorlubrication, reduced engine componentwear and oil deposit, thus maintainingmaximum-level performanceand antifriction properties. this syntheticinjection oil meets the latestASTM and JASO standards by ensuringhigh biodegradability and low exhaustsmoke.CAUTION: Never use four-strokepetroleum or synthetic motor oiland never mix these with outboardmotor oil. Do not use NMMA TC-W,TC-W2 or TC-W3 outboard motoroils or other ashless type two-strokeoil. Avoid mixing different brands ofAPI TC oil as resulting chemical reactionsmay cause severe enginedamage.Oil Injection SystemThis craft features an oil injection systemwhich does not require manual fuel/oil mixing.A sufficient amount of injection oilshould be maintained in the reservoir.NOTE: It is recommended to carry a1 L of spare injection oil.The use of a funnel is recommendedto pour the oil into the reservoir. Stopfilling as soon as oil appears at approximately13 mm (1/2 in) from top of reservoir.Do not overfill.CAUTION: Always maintain a sufficientamount of injection oil in the oilreservoir. Check and refill every timeyou refuel. Do not overfill. If the engineruns out of oil, severe enginedamage will occur. If the oil reservoiris found almost empty, air can enterin the system and it should be bled.Immediately refer to an authorizedSea-Doo dealer to have the oil injectionsystem inspected.30

BREAK-IN PERIODCAUTION: Scrupulously follow theinstructions of this section. Failureto do so may reduce the engine’s lifeand/or performance.EngineWith BOMBARDIER craft engines, abreak-in period is required before operatingthe engine at full throttle. Enginemanufacturer recommendation isabout 10 operating hours.During this period, maximum throttleshould not exceed 3/4, however, briefacceleration and speed variations contributeto a good break-in. Continuedwide open throttle accelerations, prolongedcruising speeds and overloadingthe engine are detrimental duringthe break-in period.To assure additional protection duringthe initial engine break-in, it is recommendedto add the same oil as in theinjection oil reservoir in the fuel tank forthe first full fuel tank filling only.MODELLRVQUANTITY1.67 LTo add injection oil in the fuel, proceedas follows:Fill fuel tank with approximately 15 liters(4 gal) of gasoline; then, add therequired quantity of injection oil in thefuel.Fill up fuel tank with gasoline. Do notoverfill.NOTE: It is important to proceed inthis order to allow a proper mixing ofthe oil in the gasoline. If oil is addedfirst in an empty fuel tank, fuel lineswill be filled up with injection oil leadingin a no start condition of the engine(s).CAUTION: Remove and clean sparkplugs after engine break-in.10-Hour InspectionIt is highly recommended that after thefirst 10 hours of operation, the craft bechecked by an authorized dealer. Thisinspection will also provide the opportunityto discuss the unansweredquestions you may have encounteredduring the first hours of operation.The 10-hour inspection is at the expenseof the craft owner.31

Make surethere is no sand or other particles in itand that it is not obstructed so that watercan exit the engine. Clean hose andfitting as necessary.CAUTION: Water in engine drainhose should be free to flow out, otherwisewater could be trapped in engine.Should water freeze in engine,severe damage will occur. Check enginedrain hose for obstructions.F02E05Y 1TYPICAL1. Engine drain hoseCraft RinsingThoroughly rinse craft’s hull with freshwater.Propulsion SystemLubricant in jet pump reservoir shouldbe drained and reservoir cleaned. Refillwith SEA-DOO synthetic polyolesteroil (75W90 GL5 type C gear lube) orequivalent. Refer to an authorized Sea-Doo dealer for this operation.CAUTION: Use only SEA-DOO jetpump oil or equivalent syntheticgear oil, otherwise component servicelife could be reduced. Do notmix oil brands or types.IMPELLER SHAFT RESERVOIRMODEL CAPACITY (mL)LRV 115Grease lubrication point(s) of propulsionsystem as explained in MAINTE-NANCE section.Fuel SystemSEA-DOO fuel stabilizer (or equivalent),can be added in fuel tank to preventfuel deterioration and carburetorgumming. Follow manufacturer’s instructionsfor proper use.CAUTION: Fuel stabilizer should beadded prior to engine lubrication toensure carburetor protection againstvarnish deposits. WARNINGFuel is flammable and explosiveunder certain conditions. Alwayswork in a well ventilated area. Alwayswipe off any fuel spillagefrom the craft. Always turn thefuel valve to OFF position whenstoring the craft.52

Cooling System Flushing andEngine Internal LubricationRefer to procedure in POST-OPERATIONCARE.Disconnect engine water outlet hose.BatteryContact your authorized Sea-Doo dealeror refer to the appropriate ShopManual for proper storage procedure.Anticorrosion TreatmentWipe off any residual water in the enginecompartment.Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricantor equivalent over metallic componentsin engine compartment.Lubricate the throttle cable with BOM-BARDIER LUBE lubricant or equivalent.The front and rear portion of the seatshould be partially left opened andstorage baskets should be removedduring storage. This will avoid enginecompartment condensation and possiblecorrosion.Antifreezing ProtectionIn cool regions (where freezing pointmay be encountered), cooling systemshould be filled with an equal part ofwater and antifreeze solution.CAUTION: Always use ethylene glycolantifreeze containing corrosioninhibitors specifically recommendedfor aluminum engines.Install a hose pincher to engine drainhose.F06E05Y 1TYPICAL1. Disconnect engine water inlet hoseTemporarily install a short piece ofhose to engine water outlet at cylinderhead.Insert a funnel into hose and pour antifreezemixed with water in engine untilthe colored solution appears in theengine drain hose.Most of the antifreeze will drain outwhen removing the hose pincher(s).Use a container to recover it. DISPOSEOF ANTIFREEZE AS PER YOUR LO-CAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.NOTE: Although antifreeze will mainlydrain out, the antifreeze has mixedwith the water that was possiblytrapped in the cylinder water jacketsand thus preventing freezing problems.At pre-season preparation, drain theremaining antifreeze from cooling systemprior using the craft.The following steps should be performedto provide the craft enhancedprotection.Lubricate the throttle cable with BOM-BARDIER LUBE lubricant or equivalent.F06E0DY 1TYPICAL1.
