Water discharge may not be constant
when the engine is running at idling speed.
If this occurs, apply a little throttle to make
sure that water discharges properly.
EJU40323Water separator
The water separator prevents water from en-
tering the fuel tank by collecting any water
that has entered the fuel tank breather hose if
the watercraft was capsized.
If water has collected in the water separator,
drain it by loosening the drain screw.
To drain water from the water separator:
(1) Place a drain pan or dry cloth under thewater separator.
(2) Gradually loosen the drain screw to drain the water. Catch the draining water in the
drain pan or soak it up with the dry cloth
so that it does not spill into the engine
compartment. If any water spills into the
watercraft, be sure to wipe it up with a
dry cloth.
(3) Securely tighten the drain screw until it stops.

system damage and engine performance
problems.
To fill the fuel tank:
(1) Before refueling, stop the engine. Do notstand or sit on the watercraft. Never refu-
el while smoking, or while in the vicinity
of sparks, open flames, or other sources
of ignition.
(2) Place the watercraft in a well-ventilated area and in a horizontal position.
(3) Remove the seats, and then check the fuel level. (See page 69 for seat removal
and installation procedures.)
(4) Loosen the fuel filler cap and remove it.
(5) Slowly add fuel to the fuel tank. (6) Stop filling when the fuel level reaches
approximately 50 mm (2 in) from the top
of the fuel tank. Do not overfill the fuel
tank. Because fuel expands when it
heats up, heat from the engine or the sun
can cause fuel to spill out of the fuel tank.
Do not leave the watercraft with a full
tank in direct sunlight.
(7) Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately with a dry cloth.
(8) Securely install the fuel filler cap by tight- ening it until it clicks.
(9) Securely install the seats in their original positions.

Pre-operation checks
86
EJU32282
Pre-operation check pointsEJU42384Pre-launch checks
Perform the pre-launch checks in the pre-op-
eration checklist while the watercraft is on
land.
To perform the pre-launch checks:
(1) Remove the seats and removable water-tight storage compartment. (See page 69
for seat removal and installation proce-
dures and page 75 for information on the
removable watertight storage compart-
ment.)
(2) Perform the checks and make sure that there are no malfunctioning items or oth-
er problems.
(3) After completing these checks, securely install the removable watertight storage
compartment and seats in their original
positions.
EJU32334Engine compartment checkEWJ00462
Failure to ventilate the engine compart-
ment could result in a fire or explosion. Do
not start the engine if there is a fuel leak.
Ventilate the engine compartment. Leave the
engine compartment open for a few minutes
to allow any fuel vapors to escape.
Make sure that there is no damage inside the
engine compartment.
EJU34215Fuel system checksEWJ00382
Leaking fuel can result in fire or explosion.
Check for fuel leakage regularly.
If any fuel leakage is found, the fuel sys-
tem must be repaired by a qualified me-
chanic. Improper repairs can make the
watercraft unsafe to operate.
Make sure that there is no damage, leakage,
or other problem in the fuel system.
Check:
Fuel filler cap and seal for damage
Fuel tank for damage and leakage
Fuel hoses and joints for damage and leak-
age
Fuel tank breather hose for damage and
leakage
EJU36875Fuel level check
Check the fuel level in the fuel tank.
Add fuel if necessary. (See page 77 for infor-
mation on filling the fuel tank.)
EJU32424Water separator check
Make sure that no water has collected in the
water separator. If water has collected in the
water separator, drain it. (See page 28 for in-
formation on draining the water separator.)

Care and storage
105
EJU37148
Post-operation careEWJ00332
Always place the watercraft upright in a
horizontal position when storing it, other-
wise fuel could leak out into the engine or
engine compartment, which could 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 deteriora-
tion of the jet pump and hull. Marine organ-
isms and corrosion are some of the
conditions that can shorten the life of many
watercraft components.
EJU42771Flushing the cooling water passagesECJ01880
Do not run the engine over 4000 r/min on
land. Also, do not run the engine for
more than 15 seconds without supplying
water, otherwise the engine could over-
heat.
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 seats and removable water- tight storage compartment. (See page 69
for seat removal and installation proce-
dures and page 75 for information on the
removable watertight storage compart-
ment.)
(3) Open the stern storage compartment. (See page 74 for information on the stern
storage compartment.) (4) Connect the garden hose adapter to a
garden hose.
(5) Loosen the flushing hose connector cap and remove it. Insert the garden hose
adapter into the flushing hose connector
by pushing and twisting it until it is se-
curely connected.
(6) Connect the garden hose to a water tap.
(7) Make sure that the area around the wa- tercraft is clear, and then start the en-
gine. Immediately after the engine starts,
fully turn the water supply on so that wa-
ter flows out continually from the jet
thrust nozzle.
