Page 39: Gasoline(Petrol)And Engine Oil Filling
EJU00411 GASOLINE (PETROL) AND ENGINE OIL FILLING This engine uses Yamaha’s oil injection system, which provides superior lubrica- tion by ensuring the proper oil ratio for all operating conditions. No fuel premixing is necessary (except during break-in / run- ning-in). Simply pour gasoline (petrol) into the fuel tank and oil into the oil tank. -
Page 40: Filling The Oil Tank
Otherwise, engine damage may occur. If bleeding of the oil pump is necessary, take the water vehicle to your nearest Yamaha dealer. Oil tank capacity: 3.8 litres (1.00 US gal, 0.84 Imp gal) Oil in the bilge is a serious fire hazard. -

- Page 45 EJU00447 Throttle Operate the throttle lever several times to make sure there is no hesitation in its travel. It should be smooth over the com- plete range, and spring back to the idle position on its own when released. GU2072 EJU00448 Steering Make sure the handlebars are not loose.
- Page 46 EJU00452a Switches First, place the vehicle in the water to pro- vide adequate engine cooling. Start the engine, then pull the engine stop switch lanyard on your left wrist to remove the lock plate from the engine stop lanyard switch. Verify that the engine stops imme- diately.
-
Page 47: Operation
EJU00455 OPERATION Before operating your water vehicle, become familiar with all controls. Consult your Yamaha dealer about any control or function you do not fully understand. Failure to understand how controls work could cause an accident or prevent you from avoiding an accident. - Page 48 1) Launch the vehicle and start the engine. Never ride in water that is less than 60 cm (2 feet) deep. You increase your chance of hitting an underwater obstacle. You could be injured. Operate at higher speeds only in deep water free of under water obstacles.

Page 49: Starting The Engine
EJU00460a STARTING THE ENGINE This product emits exhaust gases which contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas which may cause brain dam- age or death when inhaled. Symptoms include nausea, dizziness, and drowsi- ness. Keep cockpit and cabin areas well ventilated. - Page 50 3) Attach the to the lock plate engine stop lanyard switch. Also, attach the lanyard to your left wrist. Engine stop lanyard switch Lanyard Lock plate GU2079 Check that the lanyard is not frayed or broken, wrapped around the handlebar, or tangled in controls.
- Page 51 On this vehicle, the engine is connected directly to the drive unit. Starting the engine immediately generates some thrust. Only enough throttle should be applied to keep the engine at a fast enough idle to stay running. 6) As soon as the engine starts to run, release the starter button at once.
-
Page 52: Stopping The Engine
EJU00462a STOPPING THE ENGINE To stop the engine, release the throttle lever, then push and hold the stop switch with your left hand. When the button is pushed the ignition stops, which stops the engine. EWJ00047 NOTE: GU2082 If leaving the water vehicle, remove the engine stop switch lanyard to reduce the chance of unauthorized use or theft. -

EJU00484 STARTING EWJ00064 There may be other water craft, obstructions, or swimmers around you. Check carefully before starting off to avoid an accident. Practice getting on board in shallow water before riding in deep water. EJU00486a Starting in shallow water 1) Do not start your water vehicle in less than 60 cm (2 feet) of water. -
Page 56: Boarding And Starting In Deep Water
EJU00490a BOARDING AND STARTING IN DEEP WATER EWJ00068 Operator and passenger should prac- tice getting on board in shallow water before riding in deep water. Reboarding in deep water requires more skill. The fatigue and exposure that could result after unsuccessful attempts to get back on the vehicle may increase the risk of injuries and drowning. - Page 57 EJU00493a With passengers EWJ00070 Strong streams of water from the jet noz- zle can be dangerous, and can result in injury when directed at body orifices (rec- tum and vagina). Do not open the throttle until each passenger is seated with feet K3011 on the floor and is holding on to the per- son in front of him or her.

Page 58: Load Limit
EJU00494a LOAD LIMIT The heavier the total weight of the opera- tor and passenger, the more difficult it will be to balance the water vehicle. It is not advisable to ride the vehicle when the total weight exceeds 240 kg (530 lb) including any cargo. -
Page 59: Capsized Water Vehicle
EJU00497a CAPSIZED WATER VEHICLE 1) Turn off the engine by removing the engine stop switch lock plate. The engine will overheat when capsized because it has no water to pump as coolant. 2) Swim to the rear side of the vehicle. KA013 Pull the vehicle over clockwise with the left hand on the ride plate while... -
Page 60: Turning
If the vehicle has been capsized for 5 min- utes or more, air may have entered the oil injection system. Leave the engine off, or operate only at trolling speeds, for 10 minutes after the vehicle has been put right-side up. This will allow any air to bleed off. -
Page 61: Stopping
EJU00634a STOPPING The water vehicle is not equipped with a 95m (310 feet) separate braking system. It is stopped by water resistance when the throttle lever is released. From full speed, the water vehi- cle stops in approximately 95 m (310 feet) after the throttle is released and the engine stopped. -
Page 62: Docking
Small pebbles, sand, seaweed, and other debris can be ingested into the jet intake and impair or damage the impeller. Always stop the engine and get off before beaching the vehicle. EJU00504a DOCKING EWJ00076 1) Make sure that there are no boats or other obstacles in the vicinity. -
Page 63: Rough Water Operation
EJU00507 ROUGH WATER OPERATION Operating in rough water or jumping waves can crack the vehicle body or dam- age internal parts. The force of landing after jumping can cause a strong impact on both the water vehicle and the opera- tor. -
Page 64: Post-Operation Checks
EJU00508a POST-OPERATION CHECKS 1) After removing the vehicle from the water, put the vehicle in the horizon- tal position. 2) Flush cooling system to prevent the cooling system from clogging up with salt, sand, or dirt. “Refer to pages 4-1 for the cooling system flushing proce- dure”. - Page 65 EWJ00054 Always properly dispose of gasoline (petrol) soaked rags.
