Page 42: Pre-Operation Checks
EJU01346 Pre-operation checks EJU01347 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 43: Pre-Operation Check Points
EJU01048 Pre-operation check points EJU01278 Engine compartment Ventilate the engine compartment, before each use. To ventilate the engine compart- ment, lift the steering pole and support it with the stopper pin, then remove the hood. Put the hood aside for a few minutes to allow any fuel vapors to escape. -
Page 44: Water Separator
EJU01961 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 45 EJU01969 Battery Check the battery condition and the elec- trolyte level. Check that the battery leads are tightened securely and there is no corrosion on the battery terminals. WARNING The battery must always be fully charged and in good condition. Loss of battery power may leave you stranded.
-
Page 46: 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 47 EJU01834 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 48: 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 49 EJU01835 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 50: Operation
Con- sult your Yamaha dealer about any con- trols or functions you do not fully understand. Failure to understand how controls work could cause an accident or prevent you from avoiding an accident. - Page 51 3. Gradually open the throttle lever 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 once more with a fuel-to-oil ratio of 25:1, and proceed with normal operation.

Page 52: 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 53 3. 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 54 6. Release the start switch as soon as the engine starts to run. CAUTION: Never push the start switch while the engine is running. Do not operate the start switch for more than 5 seconds, otherwise the battery will be discharged and the engine will not start.
-
Page 55: Stopping The Engine
EJU01066 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. Shutting off the engine can cause you to hit an obsta- cle you are attempting to avoid. A colli- sion could result in severe injury or death. -

Severe internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of falling into water or being near the jet thrust nozzle. Normal swimwear does not adequately protect against forceful water entry into rectum or vagina.
-
Page 58: Starting The Watercraft
EJU01287 Starting the watercraft WARNING Scan constantly for people, objects and other watercraft. Be alert for con- ditions that limit your visibility or block your vision of others. Operate defensively at safe speeds and keep a safe distance away from people, objects and other watercraft. -
Page 59: Boarding And Starting In Deep Water
EJU01378 Boarding and starting in deep water 1. Swim to the rear of the watercraft. Attach the engine shut-off cord to your wrist. Attach the clip to the engine shut-off switch. 2. Grasp the handlebars with both hands. Pull your body up onto the riding tray and balance there, using your elbows on the gunwales for leverage. - Page 60 6. Move as far forward as possible without interfering with the movement of the han- dlebars. Keep your body perpendicular to the water, with your weight forward and low. 7. Once the bow drops, and the watercraft has leveled out in the water and reached planing speed, back off the throttle lever and select your desired speed.
- Page 61 EJU01289 Boarding and starting in shallow water Be sure to learn the deep-water starting method before operating the watercraft in water where it is too deep for you to stand. Do not try to start the watercraft in water less than 60 cm (2 ft) deep. 1.
-
Page 62: Operating Positions
EJU01290 Operating positions After you are underway, you may choose to kneel or stand, depending upon water- craft speed, your skill level, and your prefer- ence. Here are some guidelines. EJU01291 Kneeling It is easier to maintain your balance when kneeling than when standing. -
Page 63: Capsized Watercraft
EJU01293 Capsized watercraft If the watercraft capsizes, follow the pro- cedures below carefully to prevent damage or injury. CAUTION: Make sure to remove the clip from the engine shut-off switch, otherwise the engine will overheat and damage may occur. 1. Shut the engine off by removing the clip from the engine shut-off switch. -
Page 64: Turning The Watercraft
EJU01294 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 65 To maintain your balance, lean into a turn. How much you lean depends on the tight- ness of the turn and your traveling speed. In general, the higher the speed or the sharper the turn, the more you lean. WARNING Do not release the throttle when trying to steer away from objects—you need throt- tle to steer.
-
Page 66: Stopping The Watercraft
EJU01080 Stopping the watercraft The watercraft is not equipped with a sep- arate braking system. It is stopped by water resistance when throttle lever released. From full speed, the watercraft comes to a complete stop in approximately 90 m (300 ft) after the throttle is released and the engine is stopped, although this dis- tance will vary depending on many factors, including gross weight, water surface condi-... -
Page 67: Beaching The Watercraft
EJU01081 Beaching the watercraft 1. Make sure no obstructions, boats or swimmers are near the beach. Release the throttle lever about 90 m (300 ft) before you reach the intended beaching area. 2. Approach the beach slowly and stop the engine before reaching land. -
Page 68: Post-Operation Checks
EJU01894 Post-operation checks Always perform the following post-opera- tion checks after operating the watercraft. 1. Remove the watercraft from the water. 2. Wash down the hull, steering pole, han- dlebars, and jet unit with fresh water. 3. Remove the hood and check the engine compartment for water. - Page 69 CAUTION: Do not run the engine at full throttle or for more than 15 seconds on land, other- wise the engine may overheat and seize. 7. If the watercraft will be stored for a week or more, lubricate internal engine com- ponents to help prevent corrosion.
-
Page 70: Transporting
EJU01956 Transporting WARNING Always place the fuel cock knob in the “OFF” position when transporting the watercraft, otherwise fuel could leak out into the engine or engine compartment, which would create a fire hazard.
