ler, jet pump housing, and jet thrust noz-

Yamaha dealer.
EJU43471Raising the reverse gate
If the RiDE system malfunctions and the re-
verse gate remains in the lowered position,
the watercraft will not be able to move for-
ward.
After raising the reverse gate so that the wa-
tercraft can move forward, immediately re-
turn to shore and have a Yamaha dealer
service the watercraft.
To raise the reverse gate:
(1) Stop the engine and remove the clip from
the engine shut-off switch.
(2) Enter the water and move to the rear of
the watercraft.
(3) Slide the shift rod joint toward the bow,
and then disconnect the shift rod joint
from the ball joint.(4) Raise the reverse gate to the forward po-
sition.
TIP:
While the shift rod is disconnected, the re-
verse gate will not move to the neutral po-
sition or reverse position even if the RiDE
lever is squeezed.
If the RiDE lever is squeezed while the shift
rod is disconnected, the watercraft will
move forward.
EJU34642Jumping the battery
If the watercraft battery has run down, the en-
gine can be started using a 12-volt booster
battery and jumper cables.
EJU34664Connecting the jumper cables

ies.

cable to the negative (–) terminal of the
watercraft battery.
