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.
EJU46120Flushing 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 seat storage compartment. (See page 48 for seat re-
moval and installation procedures and
page 52 for information on the seat stor-
age compartment.)
(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
by pushing and twisting it until it is se-
curely 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 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.

Long-term storageEWJ00332
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.
Storage for long periods of time, such as win-
ter storage, requires preventive maintenance
to ensure against deterioration. It is advisable
to have the watercraft serviced by a Yamaha
dealer prior to storage.
However, the following procedures can be
performed easily by the owner.
EJU40763Cleaning
(1) Flush the cooling water passages. (Seepage 83 for information on flushing the
cooling water passages.)
TIP
If you will be storing the watercraft for a pro-
longed period, such as winter storage, top off
the fuel tank with fresh gasoline and add fuel
stabilizer and conditioner to the fuel tank ac-
cording to the manufacturer’s instruction be-
fore starting the engine.
(2) Clean the watercraft. (See page 84 for in-formation on cleaning the watercraft.)
Wax the hull with a non-abrasive wax.
EJU44741Lubrication
To keep moving parts sliding or rotating
smoothly, lubricate them with water-resistant
grease.
