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.

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

WARNING
EWJ00282

Gasoline and gasoline vapors are ex-
tremely flammable. To avoid fires and
explosions and to reduce the risk of in-
jury when refueling, follow these in-
structions.

Gasoline is poisonous and can cause in-
jury or death. Handle gasoline with care.
Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you
should swallow some gasoline, inhale a
lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gaso-
line in your eyes, see your doctor imme-
diately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gasoline
spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.
NOTICE
ECJ00321

Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded gas-
oline can seriously damage the engine.

Avoid getting water and contaminants in
the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can
cause poor performance and engine
damage. Use only fresh gasoline that
has been stored in clean containers.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol and that containing methanol.Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if
ethanol content does not exceed 10% and the
fuel meets the minimum octane ratings. E-85
is a fuel blend containing 85% ethanol and
therefore must not be used in this watercraft.
All ethanol blends containing more than 10%
ethanol can cause fuel system damage or en-
gine performance problems.
Yamaha does not recommend gasohol con-
taining methanol because it can cause fuel
system damage and engine performance
problems.
EJU318722-stroke engine oil
If YAMALUBE 2-W engine oil is not available,
another 2-stroke engine oil with an NMMA-
certified TC-W3 rating may be used.
EJU31902Mixing fuel and oil
NOTICE
ECJ00331
Make sure that the gasoline and oil are
thoroughly mixed in the correct ratio, oth-
erwise severe engine damage could re-
sult.
To mix gasoline and engine oil:
(1) Pour 2-stroke engine oil into a clean con-
tainer, and then add gasoline.
Recommended fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline with a mini-
mum octane rating of
86
(Pump octane number) = (R + M)/2
90 (Research octane number)
Recommended engine oil:
YAMALUBE 2-W or TC-W3 outboard
motor oil or equivalent
Fuel-to-oil ratios (gasoline to oil)
Break-in period (first two tankfuls):
25:1
After break-in:
50 :1

Draining the bilge water
NOTICE
ECJ01301
Do not run the engine at full throttle when
bilge water remains in the engine compart-
ment. The bilge water can splash into the
engine, which can result in severe dam-
age.
EJU40920Draining the bilge water on water
A small quantity of bilge water will remain in
the engine compartment even after the bilge
water is drained on water. To completely re-
move the bilge water, remove the watercraft
from the water and wipe up any remaining
moisture in the engine compartment with a
dry cloth.
Jet vacuum bilge draining system
While the watercraft is operating, a vacuum is
generated in the jet pump that draws in the
bilge water from the engine compartment and
discharges it from the jet thrust nozzle.
To drain the bilge water on water:
Operate the watercraft as straight as possible
and above planing speed for at least 2 min-
utes. NOTICE: Do not run the engine at full
throttle for at least 1 minute after the en-
gine has been restarted. Bilge water in the
engine compartment can splash into the
engine, which can result in severe dam-
age.

Transporting
WARNING
EWJ00750
Always turn the fuel cock knob to “OFF”
when transporting the watercraft, other-
wise fuel could leak out into the engine or
engine compartment, which would create
a fire hazard.
When transporting the watercraft on a trailer,
secure the bow rope hole and stern of the wa-
tercraft to the trailer with ropes or tie downs.
Use a rubber shock cord to secure the steer-
ing pole to the watercraft. NOTICE: Do not
secure the steering pole with ropes or tie
downs and do not secure it to the trailer.
Also, do not transport the watercraft with
the steering pole up. Otherwise, the steer-
ing pole could be damaged. Wrap the
ropes or tie downs with towels or rags

Post-operation care
WARNING
EWJ00320
Always turn the fuel cock knob to “OFF”
when storing the watercraft, otherwise
fuel could leak out into the engine or en-
gine compartment, which would create a
fire hazard.
After using the watercraft, always take it out of
the water, clean it, and store it. Leaving the
watercraft in the water for extended periods
will accelerate the rate of normal deterioration
of the jet pump and hull. Marine organisms
and corrosion are some of the conditions that
can adversely affect the life of many water-
craft components.
EJU33517Flushing the cooling water passages
NOTICE
ECJ01360
Do not run the engine for more than 15
seconds on land without supplying water,
otherwise the engine could overheat.
Flush the cooling water passages to prevent
them from clogging with salt, sand, or dirt.
(1) Place the watercraft in a horizontal posi-
tion.
(2) Remove the hood. (See page 22 for hood
removal and installation procedures.)(3) Connect the garden hose adapter to a
garden hose.
(4) Loosen the flushing hose connector cap
and remove it. Insert the garden hose
adapter into the flushing hose connector
and turn it until it is securely connected.
(5) Connect the garden hose to a water tap.
(6) Make sure that the area around the wa-
tercraft is clear, and then start the engine.
Immediately after the engine starts, turn
the water supply on gradually until water
