EJU42474
Hazard information
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.
Do not touch the hot muffler or engine dur-
ing or immediately after engine operation;
they can cause serious burns.
Do not place magnets or objects with a
strong magnetic force near the throttle le-
ver or RiDE lever. The electronic throttle
mechanism of the levers can be adversely
affected, which could cause loss of control.
In addition, do not place objects suscepti-
ble to magnetic forces (i.e., credit cards,
watches, etc.) close to the throttle lever or
RiDE lever.
EJU42415
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.
This model is equipped with the Yamaha
Engine Management System (YEMS) that
includes an off-throttle steering (OTS) sys-
tem. It will activate at planing speeds
should you attempt to steer the watercraft
after releasing the throttle lever. The OTS
system assists in turning by continuing to
supply some thrust while the watercraft is
decelerating, but you can turn more sharp-
ly if you apply throttle while turning the han-
dlebars.
The OTS system does not function below
planing speeds or when the engine is off.
Once the engine slows down, the water-
craft will no longer turn in response to han-
dlebar input until you apply throttle again or
you reach trolling speed.
Practice turning in an open area without
obstacles until you have a good feel for this
maneuver.
This watercraft is water-jet propelled. The
jet pump is directly connected to the en-
gine. This means that jet thrust will produce
some movement whenever the engine is
running and the “F” (forward) or “R” (re-
verse) shift indicator is displayed. When the
“N” (neutral) shift indicator is displayed, the
forward and reverse thrust are balanced to
help keep the watercraft from moving in ei-
ther direction, although some movement
may occur.

Make sure that there are no obstacles or
people behind you before shifting into
reverse.
Do not touch the reverse gate while the
RiDE lever is being operated, otherwise
you could be pinched.
If the RiDE lever and throttle lever are
being operated at the same time, do not
release only the RiDE lever. Otherwise,
the watercraft could accelerate more
quickly than expected, which may lead
to an accident.
The RiDE lever and throttle lever can be oper-
ated to change the forward or rearward
movement of the watercraft only when the
engine is running. When the RiDE lever is
squeezed, the reverse gate lowers and de-
flects the water jet being discharged from the
jet thrust nozzle so that the watercraft moves
in reverse or is in neutral. When the throttle le-
ver is squeezed, the reverse gate rises and
the watercraft moves forward.
TIP
This model is equipped with a function
which limits the engine speed in reverse.
When the engine is started, the reverse
gate automatically moves to the neutral po-
sition.
To shift into reverse:
(1) Release the throttle lever.
(2) Squeeze the RiDE lever. The reversegate will lower, the engine speed will in-
crease, the watercraft will start moving in reverse, and the “R” (reverse) shift indi-
cator will be displayed.To shift into neutral from reverse:
Release the RiDE lever. The reverse gate will
automatically return to the neutral position

and the “N” (neutral) shift indicator will be dis-
played.
TIP
Although the neutral position helps keep the
watercraft from moving even when the en-
gine is running, some movement may occur.
To shift into forward:
(1) Release the RiDE lever.
(2) Squeeze the throttle lever. The reversegate will rise completely, the engine
speed will increase, the watercraft will
start moving forward, and the “F” (for-
ward) shift indicator will be displayed.

TIP
If the RiDE lever is squeezed while the throttle
lever is squeezed, the watercraft will slow
down, and once stopped, move in reverse.
To shift into neutral from forward:
(1) Release the throttle lever.
(2) Lightly squeeze and release the RiDE le-ver. The “N” (neutral) shift indicator will
be displayed.
TIP
If the RiDE lever is squeezed continuously,
the reverse gate will move to the reverse po-
sition.
EJU45880Electric trim system
The electric trim system is a function for
changing the vertical angle of the jet thrust
nozzle to change the trim angle and perfor-
mance characteristics of the watercraft.
This function can be used only for forward
operation of the watercraft.
TIP
When the watercraft is moving in reverse or
is in neutral, the jet thrust nozzle will auto-
matically change to the neutral trim setting.
When the watercraft is shifted into forward,
the jet thrust nozzle will automatically
change to the selected trim setting.
While the watercraft is in neutral, the
“TRIM/T.D.E.” switch controls the forward
and reverse operation of the T.D.E. (thrust
direction enhancer). (See page 33 for infor-
mation on the T.D.E.)
The watercraft perfor mance characteristics
according to the trim angle change de-
pending on the operating conditions.

EJU45891Reverse assist
The reverse assist is a function for temporar-
ily increasing the engine speed when moving
in reverse, such as to enter the water
smoothly when launching the watercraft from
a trailer.
This function operates after the engine is
started and only if the watercraft is not shifted
into forward.
TIP
Once the watercraft is shifted into forward af-
ter the engine is started, the reverse assist
cannot be operated.
Activating and deactivating the reverse
assist
The activation of the reverse assist can be
confirmed by the reverse assist indicator on
the multifunction information center.
To activate the reverse assist:
(1) Start the engine.
(2) Squeeze the RiDE lever to the fully openposition, and then push the upper side of
the “SPEED ADJUST” switch. Once the
beeper sounds three times and the re-
verse assist indicator is displayed, the engine speed will increase. The engine
speed can be adjusted to two levels: +1
and +2.
To deactivate the reverse assist:
Perform one of the following operations. The
beeper sounds two times and the reverse as-
sist indicator disappears when the reverse
assist is deactivated.
Relax your grip on the RiDE lever.
Push the lower side of the “SPEED AD-
JUST” switch when the reverse assist level
is set to +1.
Squeeze the throttle lever.EJU45900T.D.E. (thrust directional enhancer)
The T.D.E. is a function for slightly lifting or
lowering the reverse gate from the neutral po-
sition to operate the watercraft at very low
speeds when the engine is running at idling
speed.
