Always consult your doctor on whether it
is safe for you to ride this watercraft if you
are pregnant or in poor health.
Do not attempt to modify this watercraft!
Modifications to your watercraft may
reduce safety and reliability, and render
the watercraft unsafe or illegal for use.
Attach the engine shut-off cord (lanyard)
to your wrist and keep it free from the
handlebars so that the engine stops if the
operator falls off. After riding, remove the
engine shut-off cord from the watercraft to
avoid accidental starting or unauthorized
use by children or others.
Scan carefully for swimmers and stay
away from swimming areas. Swimmers
are hard to see and you could acciden-
tally hit someone in the water.
Avoid being hit by another boat! You
should always take the responsibility to
watch for traffic; other boaters may not be
watching for you. If they do not see you,
or if you maneuver more quickly than
other boaters expect, you risk a collision.
Maintain a safe distance from other boats
and watercraft, and also watch for ski
ropes or fishing lines. Obey the “Safe
boating rules,” and be sure to check
behind you before making a turn. (See
Safe boating rules on page 1-21.)

Recommended equipment
The following items should be carried on
board your watercraft:
Sound-signaling device
You should carry a whistle or other sound-
signaling device that can be used to sig-
nal other boats.
Visual distress signals
It is recommended that an authority-
approved pyrotechnic device be stored in
a waterproof container on your watercraft.
A mirror can also be used as an emer-
gency signal. Contact your Yamaha
dealer for more information.
Watch
A watch is helpful so you will know how
long you have been operating.
Towline
A towline can be used to tow a disabled
watercraft in an emergency.

Fuel warning indicator
If the fuel remaining in the tank drops to
about 13 L (3.4 US gal, 2.9 Imp gal), the
lowest two fuel level segments, the fuel
warning indicator, and the warning light all
begin to blink. The buzzer also starts sound-
ing intermittently.
The warning signals will be cleared when
the engine is restarted after refilling.
EJU20783
Oil pressure warning indicator
If the oil pressure does not rise to specifi-
cation, the warning light and the oil pressure
warning indicator begin to blink and the
buzzer sounds intermittently. At the same
time, the engine speed is limited to help pre-
vent damage.
If this occurs, reduce the engine speed,
return to shore, and then check the engine
oil level. (See page 3-7 for engine oil level
checking procedures.) If the oil level is low,
add enough engine oil to raise it to the
proper level. If the oil level is sufficient, have
a Yamaha dealer check the watercraft.
NOTE:@ Press the select button 1 on the multifunc-
tion meter to stop the buzzer.
