Hazard information
When transporting or storing your water-
craft, always turn the fuel cock knob to
“OFF”, otherwise gasoline may overflow
from the carburetor.
Never start the engine or let it run for any
length of time in an enclosed area. Exhaust
fumes contain carbon monoxide, a color-
less, odorless gas that may cause loss of
consciousness and death within a short
time. Always operate the watercraft in an
open area.
EJU30880
Watercraft characteristics
Jet thrust turns the watercraft. Releasing
the throttle lever completely produces only
minimum thrust. If you are traveling at
speeds above trolling, you will have rapidly
decreasing ability to steer without throttle.
You may still have some turning ability im-
mediately after releasing the throttle lever,
but once the engine slows down, the water-
craft will no longer respond to handlebar in-
put until you apply throttle again or you
reach trolling speed.
Practice turning in an open area without ob-
stacles until you have a good feel for this
maneuver.
This watercraft is water-jet propelled. The
jet pump is directly connected to the engine.
This means that jet thrust will produce some
movement whenever the engine is running.
There is no “neutral” position.
Keep away from the intake grate while the
engine is on. Items such as long hair, loose
clothing, or PFD straps can become entan-
gled in moving parts, resulting in severe in-
jury or drowning.
Never insert any object into the jet thrust
nozzle while the engine is running. Severe
injury or death could result from coming in

Towing the watercraft
WARNING
EWJ00811
The operator of the towing boat must
keep speed to a minimum and avoid traf-
fic or obstacles which could be a hazard
to the operator on the watercraft.
The towline should be long enough so
that the watercraft will not collide with
the towing boat when slowing down.
If the watercraft becomes inoperative in the
water, it can be towed to shore.
When the watercraft is towed using a towline,
the operator should ride the watercraft, hold-
ing onto the handlebars and supporting his or
her body weight on the riding tray. This will
help keep the bow of the watercraft out of the
water.
Use a towline that is three times the combined
length of the towing boat and the watercraft.Tow the watercraft using the bow rope hole
only.
Tow the watercraft at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less.
The bow must be kept up out of the water dur-
ing towing to prevent water from entering the
engine compartment.
EJU34731Submerged watercraft
If the watercraft is submerged or flooded with
water, follow the procedure below and consult
a Yamaha dealer as soon as possible. Failure
to do so could result in serious engine dam-
age.
(1) Beach the watercraft and remove the
hood.
(2) Turn the fuel cock knob to “OFF”.
(3) Turn the watercraft over far enough to
drain the water from the engine compart-
ment. NOTICE: Turning the watercraft
on its side with the hood removed
could cause damage to the steering
pole. Use two people to provide
enough support to make sure that the
steering pole is not damaged.
[ECJ00701]
(4) Turn the watercraft upright again.
(5) Have the watercraft inspected by a
Yamaha dealer as soon as possible.
NOTICE: Be sure to have a Yamaha
dealer inspect the watercraft. Other-
wise, serious engine damage could re-
sult.
