(5) Bring your knees up onto the riding tray
and change to a kneeling position as
soon as you can do so.
(6) Move as far forward as possible without
interfering with the movement of the han-
dlebars. Keep your body perpendicular
to the water, with your weight forward
and low.
(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.
TIP:
The watercraft will become easier to balan-
ce as the speed increases, because jet
thrust provides stability as well as direc-
tional control.
It will take longer for a heavy operator to
reach planing speed than it will for a light
operator.
EJU33205Capsized watercraft
WARNING
EWJ00672
Improper uprighting can cause injury.
Be sure to shut the engine off by pulling
on the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) to
remove the clip from the engine shut-off
switch.
Do not put your hands in the intake
grate.
If the watercraft capsizes, turn it over imme-
diately.
To upright the watercraft:
(1) Remove the clip from the engine shut-off
switch.
(2) Swim to the rear of the watercraft. Turn
the watercraft over clockwise.
If the port (left) side of the capsized wa-
tercraft is tilting up, push down on the
gunwale so that the port (left) side is
down before turning the watercraft
clockwise. NOTICE: Do not turn the
watercraft over counterclockwise,
otherwise water can enter the engine,
which can result in severe damage.

(3) Start the engine and operate the water-
craft at planing speed to drain the bilge
water in the engine compartment. (See
page 29 for information on draining the
bilge water. If the engine does not start,

sary technical knowledge, poor engine
performance and damage may result.
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 engine
idling speed as part of the usual maintenance
routine.
EJU34472Adjusting the engine idling 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
engine idling speed to specification. Turn
the throttle stop screw clockwise to in-
crease the engine idling speed or coun-
terclockwise to decrease the engine
idling speed.
