Check Points - Yamaha EXCITER Owner's/Operator's Manual

_________________
NOTE:
Pre-operation checks should be made
each time the boat is used. This proce-
dure can be accomplished thoroughly
in a short time. The added safety and
reliability the checks assure is worth
the time involved.

CHECK POINTS

Steering
Make sure the wheel is not loose.
There should not be any free play,
either in-and-out or in rotation. Turn the
steering wheel full-right and full-left to
make sure operation is smooth and
unrestricted throughout the whole
range.
Make sure the jet nozzle changes
direction as the steering wheel is
turned. The jet nozzle should point to
starboard (right) when the wheel is
turned right. The jet nozzle should
point to port (left) when the wheel is
turned left. There should not be free
play between the steering wheel and
the jet nozzle.
Throttle
Operate the throttle lever several times
to make sure there is no hesitation in
travel. Operation should be smooth
over the complete range of motion, and
the lever should return completely to
the idle position.
Shifting
Before launching, make sure the jet
pump gate drops down over the jet
nozzle to the stopper position when the
shift lever is moved to the "Reverse"
position. Also make sure the jet pump
gate returns to the full up stopper posi-
tion when the shift lever is moved to the
"Forward" position.
