Page 47: Fuel And Oil
EJU00411a 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 48 Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if ethanol content does not exceed 10 % and the fuel meets minimum octane ratings. Gasohol containing methanol is not rec- ommended by Yamaha because it can cause fuel system damage or engine perfor- mance problems.
-
Page 49: Filling The Fuel Tank
EJU00724a 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 50: 2-Stroke Engine Oil
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 51: Pre-Operation Checks
EJU00422 Pre-operation checks 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 52: Pre-Operation Check Points
EJU00426 Pre-operation check points 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 2-19 for front storage compartment.) Allow the engine compartment to remain open for a few minutes to allow any fuel vapors to escape. - Page 53 EJU00432a 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 54 EJU00435a 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 55: 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 56 EJU00447 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 57: Jet Unit
EJU00451a 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 Check that water comes out from the out- lets while the engine is running and the watercraft is in the water. EJU00454 Multifunction information center YAMAHA Check the operation of the multifunction FUEL HOUR information center. (See pages 2-15 to 2-18 MULTI for multifunction information center.)

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
EJU00645a 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 71: 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 72 CAUTION: Be sure to remove the clip from the shut- off switch, otherwise the engine will overheat and engine damage may occur. 1. Shut the engine off by removing the clip from the engine shut-off switch. 2. Swim to the rear of the watercraft. Pull the watercraft over with left hand on ride plate while pushing down on the gun- wale with your right hand/foot.
-
Page 73: Turning The Watercraft
EJU00499 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 74 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...
