turn the knob to the lock position.
NOTE:
Make sure that the hood is properly secured
before operating the watercraft.

Operation
40
(7) Once the bow drops, and the watercraft
has leveled out in the water and reached
planing speed, back off the throttle and
select your desired speed.
NOTE:
The watercraft will become easier to bal-
ance as the speed increases, because jet
thrust provides stability as well as direction-
al control.
It will take longer for a heavier operator to
reach planing speed than it will for a light
operator.
EJU33200Capsized watercraft
If the watercraft capsizes, turn it over immedi-
ately.
Be sure to carefully follow the procedures be-
low to prevent injury, or damage to the water-
craft.
WARNING
EWJ00670
IMPROPER UPRIGHTING CAN CAUSE IN-
JURY:
Be sure to shut the engine off by pulling
on the engine shut-off cord to remove
the clip from the engine shut-off switch.
Do not put your hands in the intake
grate.
CAUTION:
ECJ00510
Be sure to remove the clip from the engine
shut-off switch to shut the engine off, oth-
erwise the engine can overheat, which can
result in severe damage.
(1) Remove the clip from the engine shut-off
switch.(2) Swim to the rear of the watercraft and up-
right it by turning it clockwise only.
NOTE:
If the port (left) side of the capsized watercraft
is tilting up, push down on the gunwale so that
the port (left) side is down before turning the
watercraft clockwise.
CAUTION:
ECJ00520
Do not turn the watercraft over counter-
clockwise, otherwise water can enter the
carburetor and engine, which can result in
severe damage.
(3) Start the engine and operate the water-
craft to discharge any water remaining in
the engine compartment. (If the engine
does not start, see “Towing the water-
craft” on page 67 or “Submerged water-
craft” on page 68.)

(3) Secure the battery in place.
WARNING
EWJ00400
Be sure to connect the breather hose to
the battery. Fire or explosion could result
if the breather hose is damaged, obstruct-
ed, or not connected properly.
CAUTION:
ECJ00260
After installation, make sure that the bat-
tery leads are properly connected to the
battery terminals.
EJU34460Adjusting the carburetor
The carburetor is a vital part of the engine and
requires very sophisticated adjustments.
Most adjustments should be left to a Yamaha
dealer who has the professional knowledge
and experience to make them. However, the
operator may adjust the trolling speed as part
of the usual maintenance routine.
CAUTION:
ECJ00170
The carburetor was set at the Yamaha fac-
tory after many tests. If the settings are
disturbed by someone who does not have
the necessary technical knowledge, poorengine performance and damage may re-
sult.
EJU34470Adjusting the trolling speed
(1) Place the watercraft in the water.
(2) Start the engine and warm it up for 1 to 2
minutes.
(3) While using a diagnostic tachometer, turn
the throttle stop screw to adjust the en-
gine speed to specification. Turn the
throttle stop screw clockwise to increase
the engine speed or counterclockwise to
decrease the engine speed.
