Lubrication
WARNING@ To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
Never pour or spray gasoline, or any sub-
stance other than engine fogging oil
through the holes in the carburetor
silencer cover.
@
CAUTION:@
Be sure to replace the caps securely
after fogging the engine. Otherwise
water could enter the engine and
cause damage.

Do not attempt to run the engine at full
throttle or for more than 15 seconds
while the watercraft is out of the water,
otherwise the engine may overheat
and/or seize.
@
1. Open the silencer caps 1 on the
silencer.
2. Start the engine with the watercraft in a
well-ventilated area.
3. With the engine running at a fast idle,
quickly spray as much fogging oil as pos-
sible through the holes in the silencer
cover. Keep spraying until the engine
stalls (or a maximum of 15 seconds).
4. Install the caps securely.
5. Lubricate all cables such as the throttle,
choke, and steering cables.
NOTE:@ Use a suitable marine grease applicator to
pressure lubricate the cables and purge out
any moisture between the inner and outer
cables.
@
6. Lubricate the areas of the watercraft
specified under Lubrication points on
pages 4-16 to 4-19.

Inspecting the oil injection
system
Check the oil injection system for leakage,
cracks, or malfunctions. If necessary, have a
Yamaha dealer repair the oil injection sys-
tem.
Check:

Oil tank for damage, cracks or leakage.

Oil tank for water or dirt.

Oil hose and joint for damage or cracks.

Oil filter for dirt.

Oil pump for leakage.
EJU01101
Oil tank
Check the oil tank for leakage or water in
the tank. If water is found in the oil injection
system or if the oil tank needs to be cleaned
have a Yamaha dealer service the water-
craft.
EJU01102
Oil filter
Check the oil filter 1 for dirt and clogs. If
the oil filter is clogged, remove it from the oil
tank together with the oil level sender and
clean it.

NOTE:@
Wipe off any water on the spark plug or
inside the cap before installing the spark
plug cap. Push the spark plug cap down
until it clicks.

If a torque wrench is not available when
you are fitting a new spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is 1/4 turn
to 1/2 turn past finger tight. Have the
spark plug adjusted to the correct torque
with a torque wrench as soon as possible.
@
WARNING@ Be careful not to damage the insulator
when removing or installing a spark plug.
A damaged insulator could allow sparks
to escape, which could lead to explosion
or fire.
@
EJU01326
Lubrication points
To keep moving parts sliding or rotating
smoothly, coat them with water-resistant
grease.
Recommended water-resistant grease:
Yamaha Marine Grease/
Yamaha Grease A

Throttle cable (carburetor end)

Oil pump cable

Choke cable (carburetor end)

Inspecting the battery
Check the level of the battery electrolyte
and make sure the leads are secure.
WARNING@ Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dan-
gerous, causing severe burns, etc. Elec-
trolyte contains sulfuric acid. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Antidotes
External: Flush with water.
Internal: Drink large quantities of water
or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia,
beaten egg or vegetable oil. Call physi-
cian immediately.
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep
sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc., well away.
If using or charging the battery in an
enclosed space, make sure that it is well
ventilated. Always shield your eyes when
working near batteries.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHIL-
DREN.
@
CAUTION:@ Be careful not to place the battery on its
side.
Make sure to remove the battery from the
battery compartment when adding bat-
tery electrolyte or charging the battery.
When checking the battery, make sure
the breather hose is connected to the
battery and not obstructed.

Replacing the fuse
The fuse is in the electrical box 1.
To replace the fuse:
1. Remove the cap 2, pull out the red lead,
and bring the fuse holder 3 out of the
electrical box.
2. Open the fuse holder and replace the
fuse 4 with one of the correct amper-
age.
WARNING@ Do not use fuses of higher amperage that
those recommended. Substitution of a
fuse of improper rating can cause exten-
sive electrical system damage and possi-
ble fire.
@
Fuse amperage: 10 A
EJU01112
Bleeding the oil injection
pump
If the oil tank becomes completely empty,
or any hose connected to the oil pump has
been disconnected, the oil pump must be
bled to ensure proper oil flow.
If bleeding of the oil pump is necessary,
have a Yamaha dealer bleed it.
