  • Page 50: Fuel And Oil

    EJU20060 Fuel and oil This engine uses Yamaha’s oil injection system, which provides superior lubrication by ensuring the proper oil ratio for all operat- ing conditions. No fuel premixing is neces- sary except during the engine break-in period. Simply pour gasoline into the fuel tank and oil into the oil tank.
  • Page 51 Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Stop fill- ing when the fuel level just reaches the bottom of the filler tube. Do not fill up the filler tube because fuel expands as it warms up and could overflow. If tem- porarily leaving the watercraft with a full fuel tank, do not leave it in direct sunlight.

  • Page 52: 2-Stroke Engine Oil

    Use only YAMALUBE 2-W oil. Using another oil can seriously damage the cat- alytic converter and other engine compo- nents. Recommended engine oil: YAMALUBE 2-W oil only NOTE: YAMALUBE 2-W is developed for this water- craft and available from a Yamaha dealer.

  • Page 53: Filling The Fuel Tank

    EJU20190 Filling the fuel tank CAUTION: Be careful when refueling. Avoid getting water or other contaminants in the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can cause poor running or engine damage. 1. Open the hood and remove the front storage compartment, to check the fuel level.

  • Page 54: Filling The Oil Tank

    If bleeding of the oil pump is necessary, have a Yamaha dealer bleed it. 1. Remove the seat to watch the oil level. (See page 2-5 for seat.) 2. Open the oil tank filler cap, and very slowly add engine oil to the oil tank.

  • Page 55: Pre-Operation Checks

    EJU13460 Pre-operation checks EJU13470 Pre-operation check list Before operating this watercraft, perform the checks in the following check list. See the accompanying text in this chapter for details on how to perform the checks. WARNING If any item in the pre-operation check list is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operating the watercraft, otherwise an accident could occur.

  • Page 56: Pre-Operation Check Points

    EJU10480 Pre-operation check points EJU10500 Engine compartment Ventilate the engine compartment before each use. To ventilate the engine compartment, remove seat and front storage compart- ment. (See page 2-5 for seat, and 2-20 for front storage compartment.) Allow the engine compartment to remain open for a few minutes to allow any fuel vapors to escape.
  • Page 57 EJU19610 Water separator Check the water separator 1 for water. Normally the water separator is empty. The water separator retains any water entering through the fuel tank breather hose if the watercraft is capsized. If water remains in the water separator, drain it by removing the drain screw 2.
  • Page 58 CAUTION: Make sure that the stern drain plugs are tightened securely before launch- ing the watercraft. Clean any foreign materials, such as dirt or sand, from the drain plug threads before installing the drain plugs. EJU19690 Battery Check the battery condition and the elec- trolyte level.

  • Page 59: Fire Extinguisher

    Always carry a fire extinguisher on board. A fire extinguisher is not standard equip- ment with this watercraft. If you do not have one, contact a Yamaha dealer or a fire extinguisher dealer to obtain one meeting the proper specifications.
  • Page 60 EJU18340 Throttle Squeeze and release the throttle lever several times to make sure that there is no hesitation in its travel. It should be smooth over the complete range, and spring back to the idle position when released. WARNING Before starting the engine, always check the operation of the throttle lever.

  • Page 61: Jet Unit

    EJU10580 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 62 EJU18350 Switches Check the start switch 1, the engine stop switch 2, and the engine shut-off switch 3 for proper operation. To check these switches, place the water- craft in the water to provide adequate cool- ing. Start the engine, and then pull the engine shut-off cord 5 to remove the clip 4 from the engine shut-off switch.

  • Page 63: 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 64 1. Launch the watercraft and start the engine. (See page 3-16 for engine start- ing procedures.) 2. Run the engine at the lowest possible speed for 5 minutes. 3. Gradually open the throttle and run the engine at 5,000 r/min or less. 4.

  • Page 65: Starting The Engine

    EJU18080 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 66 2. Attach the clip 1 to the engine shut-off switch 2. Also, attach the engine shut- off cord 3 to your left wrist. WARNING Check that the engine shut-off cord is not frayed or broken, and keep it free from the handlebars so the engine stops if the operator falls off.

  • Page 67: Stopping The Engine

    EJU10660 Stopping the engine To stop the engine, release the throttle lever, and then push the engine stop switch (red button). WARNING You need throttle to steer.

  • Page 72: Boarding And Starting In Deep Water

    EJU10750 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 73: Boarding With A Passenger

    EJU10770 Boarding with a passenger 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 the passenger is seated with his or her feet on the floor of the footwell and is holding on to the operator.

  • Page 74: Capsized Watercraft

    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 160 kg (353 lb) including any cargo. If it is difficult to balance the watercraft at a stand- still, proceed as follows: 1.
  • Page 75 1. Remove the clip from the engine shut-off switch. 2. Swim to the rear of the watercraft.

NOTE: If the port (left) side of the capsized water- craft is tilting upward, first tilt the watercraft...

  • Page 76: Turning The Watercraft

    EJU19960 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 77 This model has the Yamaha Engine Man- agement System (YEMS) that includes an Off-Throttle Steering (OTS) system. It will activate at planing speeds should you attempt to steer the watercraft after releas- ing the throttle lever (see condition C above).
