Page 57: Jet Unit
EJU01058 Jet unit Carefully check the jet intake for weeds, debris, or anything else that might restrict the intake of water. If the intake is clogged, cavitation could occur, reducing jet thrust, and possibly damaging the jet pump. In some cases, the engine may overheat because of lack of cooling water, and dam- age to the engine could result. - Page 58 EJU18351 Switches CAUTION: Do not run the engine for more than 15 seconds on land without supplying water. The engine can overheat. Check the start switch, the engine stop switch, and the engine shut-off switch for proper operation. Push the start switch 1 to start the engine.

Page 59: Operation
Operation WARNING Before operating your watercraft, become familiar with all controls. Con- sult your Yamaha dealer about any con- trol function fully understand. Failure to understand how controls work could cause an accident or prevent you from avoiding an accident. - Page 60 3. Gradually open the throttle to 3/4 or less. 4. Continue operation at 3/4 throttle or less until the first tankful of fuel has been used. 5. Fill the tank with straight gasoline, and then proceed with normal operation. CAUTION: Failure to follow the engine break-in pro- cedure properly can result in severe damage to the engine.

Page 61: Starting The Engine
EJU01137 Starting the engine WARNING Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monox- ide, a colorless, odorless gas that may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. - Page 62 2. Turn the fuel cock knob to the “ON” posi- tion. NOTE: Before starting the watercraft, after it has been sitting, remove the fuel tank filler cap to release any built-up pressure in the tank due to fuel expansion. 3. Attach the clip 1 to the engine shut-off switch 2.
- Page 63 5. While lightly squeezing the throttle lever, push the start switch (green button). WARNING On this watercraft, the engine is con- nected directly to the jet pump. Starting the engine immediately generates some thrust. Apply only enough throttle to keep the engine running. 6.

Page 69: Boarding And Starting In Deep Water
EJU01075 Boarding and starting in deep water WARNING Operator and passenger should prac- tice getting on board in shallow water before riding in deep water. Boarding in deep water requires more skill. The fatigue and exposure that could result after unsuccessful attempts to get back on the watercraft may increase the risk of injuries and drown- ing. -
Page 70: Boarding With Passengers
EJU01849 Boarding with passengers WARNING Severe internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of being near the jet thrust nozzle. Do not apply throttle until each passen- ger is seated with his or her feet on the floor of the footwell and is holding on to the person in front of him or her. - Page 71 NOTE: The heavier the total weight of the operator and passengers, the more difficult it will be to balance the watercraft. Do not operate the watercraft when the total weight exceeds 240 kg (530 lb) including any cargo. If it is difficult to balance the watercraft at a stand- still, proceed as follows: 1.

Page 74: Turning The Watercraft
EJU01839 Turning the watercraft Steering control depends on the combi- nation of handlebar position and the amount of throttle. Water sucked in through the intake grate is pressurized by the impeller in the jet pump. As the pressurized water is expelled from the pump through the jet thrust nozzle, it creates thrust to move and steer the watercraft. - Page 75 WARNING Do not release the throttle when trying to steer away from objects—you need throttle to steer. A collision could result in severe injury or death. When operating at higher speeds, make gradual turns or slow down before turning. Sharp high-speed turns may cause the watercraft to slide side- ways or spin, throwing the operator passengers...
