Safety information

EJU43324
Cruising limitations
Scan constantly for people, objects, and
other watercraft. Be alert for conditions
that limit your visibility or block your vision
of others.
Operate defensively at safe speeds and
keep a safe distance away from people,
objects, and other watercraft.
Do not follow directly behind watercraft or
other boats.
Do not go near others to spray or splash
them with water, go too close to other
boats, or go too fast for the traffic condi-
tions.
Take early action to avoid collisions. Re-
member, watercraft and other boats do not
have brakes. In addition, the Reverse with
Intuitive Deceleration Electronics (RiDE)
system is not a braking device for avoiding
dangerous situations. The RiDE system is
an electronic system for controlling the en-
gine speed and reverse gate, which is lo-
cated near the jet thrust nozzle. The RiDE
lever located at the left handlebar grip can
be used to change the direction of the jet
thrust so that the watercraft moves in re-
verse or is in neutral. The RiDE system as-
sists the operator when slowing down and
during slow-speed maneuvering, such as
launching, beaching, and docking.
Avoid sharp turns, slowing down rapidly by
squeezing the RiDE lever forcefully, and
other maneuvers that make it hard for oth-
ers to avoid you or understand where you
are going.
Avoid areas with submerged objects or
shallow water.
Do not release the throttle lever when trying
to steer away from objects—as with other
powerboats, you need throttle to steer. Al-
ways check throttle and steering controls
before starting the watercraft.
Ride within your limits and avoid aggres-
sive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss of
control, ejection, and collision.
This is a high performance boat—not a toy.
Avoid aggressive operation, sharp turns,
and unexpected acceleration that can
cause you to be thrown off. Do not jump
waves or wakes—jumping can cause inju-
ries such as back or spinal injuries (paraly-
sis), facial injuries, and broken legs, ankles,
and other bones. Improper operation can
result in severe injury or death.
Do not operate the watercraft in rough wa-
ter, bad weather, or when visibility is poor;
this may lead to an accident causing injury
or death. Be alert to the possibility of ad-
verse weather. Take note of weather fore-
casts and the prevailing weather
conditions before setting out on your wa-
tercraft.
As with any water sport, you should not op-
erate your watercraft without someone else
nearby. If you operate further than swim-
ming distance from shore, you should be
accompanied by another boat or water-
craft, but make sure you stay a safe dis-
tance away. It’s good, common sense.
Never operate in water that is less than 60
cm (2 ft) deep from the bottom of the wa-

Watercraft control functionsEJU45092Yamaha Security System
The Yamaha Security System functions to
help prevent unauthorized use or theft of the
watercraft. The lock and unlock modes of the
security system can be selected using the
engine lock screen of the multifunction infor-
mation center. The engine cannot be started
if the lock mode of the security system is se-
lected. The engine can only be started if the
unlock mode is selected.
TIP
The Yamaha Security System setting can
only be selected while the engine is stopped.
EJU46970Yamaha Security System settingThe Yamaha Security System setting can be
confirmed by the lock or unlock mode indica-
tor on the multifunction information center.
To select the lock or unlock mode of the
Yamaha Security System:
(1) Stop the engine.
TIP
The multifunction information center is turned
on, even if the engine start/stop switch is also
pushed briefly.
(2) Select the lock or unlock mode indicator
on the multifunction information center.
(3) Input each digit of the 4-digit PIN, and then select “ ”.
TIP
The default setting for the PIN is “1234”. The
PIN can also be changed. (See page 54 for in-
formation on changing the PIN.)
(4) To select the lock mode of the YamahaSecurity System, select “Lock”. To se-
lect the unlock mode, select “Unlock”.
(5) The beeper sounds once when the lock mode of the Yamaha Security System is
selected, and two times when the unlock
mode is selected.

than 15 seconds without supplying water,
otherwise the engine could overheat.
The engine start/stop switch (red button)
starts the engine when the switch is pushed
while the engine is stopped, and stops the
engine when the switch is pushed while the
engine is running.
Release the engine start/stop switch as soon
as the engine starts to run. If the engine does
not start in 5 seconds, release the engine
start/stop switch, wait 15 seconds, and then
try again.
The engine will not start under any of the fol-
lowing conditions:
Lock mode of the Yamaha Security System
has been selected. (See page 24 for
Yamaha Security System setting proce- dures.)
Clip is removed from the engine shut-off
switch.

The engine shut-off switch automatically
stops the engine when the clip, on the end of
the engine shut-off cord (lanyard), is removed from the switch, such as if the operator falls
off the watercraft.
Insert the clip under the engine shut-off
switch before starting the engine.
When the engine is not running, remove the
clip from the engine shut-off switch to pre-
vent accidental starting or unauthorized op-
eration by children or others.

To adjust the handlebar position:
(1) Pull the tilt lever up to disengage the han-dlebar lock, and then move the handle-
bars back or forth to the desired position.
WARNING! Never pull the tilt lever dur- ing operation, otherwise the handle-
bars may suddenly change position,
which may lead to an accident.
[EWJ00042]
(2) Make sure that the tilt lever returns to its original position and that the handlebars
are securely locked in place.
EJU35975Cooling water pilot outlet
When the engine is running, some of the
cooling water that is circulated in the engine
is discharged from the cooling water pilot
outlet.
There is a cooling water pilot outlet on the
port (left) side of the watercraft. To check for
proper operation of the cooling system, make
sure that water is being discharged from the
cooling water pilot outlet. If water is not being
discharged from the outlet, stop the engine
and check the jet intake for clogging. (See
page 120 for information on the jet intake.)
TIP
It will take about 60 seconds for the water
to reach the outlet after the engine is start-
ed.
Water discharge may not be constant
when the engine is running at idling speed.
