Operation
Failure to understand how the controls
work could cause an accident or prevent
you from avoiding an accident.
Gasoline vapors can explode. Before
●
starting the engines, check the engine
compartment for gasoline, gasoline va-
pors, and loose electrical connections,
and then operate the blowers for at least
4 minutes. Do not start the engines or
operate the blowers if you can smell
gasoline vapors in the engine compart-
ment or if there are any loose electrical
connections. Contact a Yamaha Boat
Dealer if there is a problem you cannot
locate or correct.
Attach the engine shut-off cord (lanyard)
●
to your PFD before operating. Failure to
attach the cord could result in a runaway
boat if the operator is ejected.
Do not apply throttle when anyone is at
●
the rear of the boat. Turn the engines off
or keep them at idle. Water and debris
exiting the jet thrust nozzles can cause
severe injury.
(1) Always make sure the boat is launched
and used in waters that are free from
weeds and debris, and at least 90 cm
(3 ft) deep from the bottom of the boat.
WARNING! Never operate in water that
is less than 90 cm (3 ft) deep from the
bottom of the boat. You increase your
chance of hitting an underwater ob-
stacle. You could be injured. Pebbles
or sand can also be sucked into the jet
intakes, damaging the impellers.

There is a hull drain plug at the bottom of
the stern. Check the O-ring on the hull
drain plug and make sure that the plug is
tightened securely before launching the
boat. Otherwise, water may flood the boat
and cause it to submerge.
