Safety And Warranty Information
WARNING
Exhaust fumes! Generator or hull exhaust from other vessels while either docked or
anchored can emit poisonous CO gas and cause excessive accumulation within
cabin and cockpit areas. Be alert for generator exhaust from your vessel or other ves-
sels alongside. Exhaust outlets near a pier, dock, seawall or outlets blocked by any
other means can cause excessive accumulation of poisonous CO gas within cockpit
area.
B00059
14
SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
WARNING
Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide (CO) which can accumulate in and
around the boat (under bimini top, in cockpit, etc.). CO can be harmful or fatal if
inhaled. Assure there is adequate ventilation whenever running engine(s).
Boat houses, seawalls, and other boats in close proximity or confined areas can contribute to
increased CO levels. Operators must be aware that operation, mooring, and anchoring in an
area with other boats puts them in jeopardy of CO accumulation from other sources. Likewise,
a boat operator must be aware of how exhaust from his boat will affect others. Operation of
the engines while moored may cause CO accumulation in your boat and those around you.
B00060
Be sure to provide adequate ventilation. If the windshield has vents, open them before getting
underway to increase positive air flow and decrease the chances of CO accumulation.
WARNING
Backdrafting! Under certain conditions, moving air currents can direct poisonous CO
fumes into boat. These fumes can accumulate to dangerous levels without proper air-
flow. Provide adequate ventilation, redistribute the load or bring boat out of high bow
angle.
While underway, CO concentrations can increase by backdrafting or the station wagon ef-
fect. Backdrafting is caused by factors such as relative wind direction, speed, or the bow be-
ing too high. To prevent this, open canvas whenever possible to provide positive airflow
through the hull.
15
Safety And Warranty Information
B00061
Even with the best boat design and construction, CO may still accumulate in enclosed or con-
fined areas under certain conditions. Continually observe passengers for symptoms of CO poi-
soning.
CO Detector
It is strongly recommended that you have CO detectors installed in boats with canvas enclo-
sures. Monitors are available from your dealer. Monitors should be professionally installed and
calibrated.
A CO detector is not a gas fuel vapor detector. Gas fuel vapor detectors do not monitor the
buildup of CO in an enclosed area.
DO NOT Operate your Boat Without Performing the Following Checklist:
Each Boating Use
OPERATION SIGN
Make sure you and your passengers know where exhaust outlets
are located on the vessel.
Educate all passengers about the symptoms of CO poisoning
and where CO may accumulate.
When docked or rafting with another boat, be aware of exhaust
emissions from the other boat.
Listen for any change in exhaust sound, which could indicate an
exhaust component failure.
Test the operation of each CO alarm by pressing the test button
(if applicable).

BREAK-IN INSPECTION
After the first 25 hours of operation, the engine should be checked by an authorized Rotax Jet
Propulsion dealer, repair shop, or person of your choosing. The break-in inspection is very im-
portant and must not be neglected.
IMPORTANT: The break-in inspection is at the expense of the boat owner.
We recommend that this inspection be signed by an authorized Rotax Jet Propulsion dealer,
repair shop, or person of your choosing.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The boat should be serviced as per the maintenance schedule.
A repair shop or person the owners choosing may maintain, replace, or repair emission con-
trol devices and systems. These instructions do not require components or service by BRP or
authorized Rotax Jet Propulsion dealers. Although an authorized Rotax Jet Propulsion dealer
has an in-depth technical knowledge and tools to service the Rotax Inboard Jet Propulsion
System, the emission-related warranty is not conditioned on the use of an authorized Rotax
Jet Propulsion dealer or any other establishment with which BRP has a commercial relation-
ship. For emission-related warranty claims, BRP is limiting the diagnosis and repair of emis-
sion-related parts to the authorized Rotax Jet Propulsion dealers. For more information,
please refer to the US EPA EMISSION-RELATED WARRANTY contained herein. Proper
maintenance is the owners responsibility. A warranty claim may be denied if, among other
things, the owner or operator caused the problem through improper maintenance or use.
You must follow the instructions for fuel requirements in the fueling section of this manual.
Even if gasoline containing greater than ten volume percent ethanol is readily available, the
US EPA issued a prohibition against the use of gasoline containing greater than 10 vol% eth-
anol that applies to this vehicle. The use of gasoline containing greater than 10% ethanol with
this engine may harm the emission control system.
The schedule should be adjusted according to operating conditions and use. Intensive use of
engine will require greater frequency of inspection and maintenance.
WARNING
Failure to properly maintain the boat according to the maintenance schedule can
make it unsafe to operate.

MONITORING SYSTEM
GENERAL
A system monitors the electronic components of the EMS (engine management system) and
other components of the electrical system. When a fault occurs, it sends visual messages
through the information center and/or audible signals through a beeper to inform you of a par-
ticular condition.
A fault code may also be recorded.
When a minor or transient fault occurs, the fault message and beeper will cease automatically
if the condition that caused the fault does not exist anymore.
Releasing the throttle and letting the engine return to idle speed may allow normal operation
to come back.
The electronic system will react differently depending on the fault type. In severe failure, the
engine may not be allowed to be started. In other cases, the engine will operate in limp home
mode (reduced speed).
When a fault occurs, Seek service from an authorized Rotax Jet Propulsion dealer, repair
shop, or person of your own choosing for maintenance, repair, or replacement. Please refer to
the US EPA EMISSION-RELATED WARRANTY contained herein for information about
warranty claims.
