Adjusting the fuel injection
system
The fuel injection system was set at the
Yamaha factory. Have a Yamaha dealer ser-
vice the watercraft if necessary.
CAUTION:@ Do not attempt to adjust the fuel injection
system. If the settings are changed poor
engine performance and damage may
result.

Checking the trolling speed
1. Put the watercraft in the water.
2. Start the engine and warm it up. Use the
tachometer in the multifunction meter to
check the trolling speed.
If the trolling speed is out of specification,
have a Yamaha dealer make this adjust-
ment. Trolling speed: 1,600–1,700 r/min

Emergency procedures
EJU21602
Cleaning the jet intake and
impeller
If weeds or debris get caught in the intake
or impeller, cavitation can occur, causing jet
thrust to decrease even though engine
speed rises. If this condition is allowed to
continue, the engine will overheat and may
seize. If there is any sign that the jet intake
or impeller is clogged with weeds or debris,
return to shore and check the intake and
impeller. Always stop the engine before
beaching the watercraft.
WARNING@ Before attempting to remove weeds or
debris from the jet intake or impeller
area, shut the engine off and remove the
clip from the engine shut-off switch.
Severe injury or death could result from
coming in contact with the rotating parts
of the jet pump.
@
CAUTION:@ If weeds or debris get caught in the
intake, do not operate the watercraft
above trolling speed until they have been
removed.
@
1. Turn the watercraft on its side as shown.
CAUTION:@
Place a suitable clean cloth or carpet-
ing underneath the watercraft to pro-
tect it from abrasions and scratches.

Always turn the watercraft over onto
its port (left) side.

When turning the watercraft on its
side, support the bow so the handle-
bars cannot be bent or damaged.

2. Remove any weeds or debris from
around the drive shaft, impeller, pump
housing, and jet thrust nozzle.
If debris is difficult to remove, consult
your Yamaha dealer.
CAUTION:@ Always avoid operating your watercraft in
areas where weed growth is thick. If trav-
eling in weeded areas is unavoidable,
operate the engine alternately at partial
throttle and full throttle. Weeds tend to
accumulate more at a steady speed and
at trolling speed. If weeds clog the intake
or impeller area and cause cavitation, fol-
low the cleaning procedure above.

Jumping the battery
If the watercraft battery has run down, the
engine can be started using a 12-volt bat-
tery and jumper cables.
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.
