WARNING
EWJ00341
Engine oil is extremely hot immediately af-
ter the engine is turned off. Coming in con-
tact with or getting any engine oil on your
clothes could result in burns.
NOTICE

Emergency proceduresEJU34635Cleaning the jet intake and impeller
WARNING
EWJ00783
Before attempting to remove weeds or de-
bris from the jet intake or impeller area,
shut the engine off and remove the clip
from the engine shut-off switch. Severe in-
jury or death could result from coming in
contact with the rotating parts of the jet
pump.
If weeds or debris gets caught in the jet intake
or impeller, cavitation can occur, causing jet
thrust to decrease even though engine speed
rises. If this condition is allowed to continue,
the engine will overheat and may seize.
NOTICE: If weeds or debris gets caught in
the jet intake, do not operate the water-
craft above trolling speed until they have
been removed.
[ECJ00654]
If there is any sign that the jet intake or impel-
ler is clogged with weeds or debris, return to
shore and check the intake and impeller. Al- ways stop the engine before beaching the
watercraft.
(1) Place a suitable clean cloth or carpeting
underneath the watercraft to protect it
from abrasions and scratches. Turn the
watercraft on its side as shown.
NOTICE: Always turn the watercraft
over onto its port (left) side. When
turning the watercraft on its side, sup-
port the bow so that the handlebars
are not bent or damaged.
[ECJ00662]

(2) Remove any weeds or debris fromaround the jet intake, drive shaft, impel-
ler, jet pump housing, and jet thrust noz-
zle.
If debris is difficult to remove, consult a
Yamaha dealer.
EJU34642Jumping the battery
If the watercraft battery has run down, the en-
gine can be started using a 12-volt booster
battery and jumper cables.
EJU34664Connecting the jumper cables
WARNING
EWJ01251
To avoid battery explosion and serious
damage to the electrical system:
Do not reverse the polarity of the jumper
cables when connecting to the batter-
ies.
Do not connect the negative (–) jumper
cable to the negative (–) terminal of the
watercraft battery.
Do not touch the positive (+) jumper ca-
ble to the negative (–) jumper cable.
(1) Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) battery terminals of both
batteries.
(2) Connect one end of the negative (–) jumper cable to the negative (–) battery
terminal of the booster battery. (3) Connect the other end of the negative (–)
jumper cable to an engine hanger.
(4) Start the engine, and then disconnect the jumper cables by reversing the steps
above. (See page 27 for information on
starting the engine.)
EJU36995Replacing the fuses
If a fuse is blown, replace it with the proper
fuse.
To replace a fuse:
(1) Remove the seats. (See page 40 for seatremoval and installation procedures.)

(2) Remove the electrical box cover.
(3) Loosen the cap on the electrical box andremove it.
(4) Replace the blown fuse with the spare fuse of the correct amperage by using
the fuse puller on the reverse side of the
cap. WARNING! Do not use fuses of a
different amperage than recommend-
ed. Substitution with a fuse that has
an improper rating can cause exten- sive electrical system damage and
possible fire.
[EWJ00803]
(5) Securely install the cap by tightening it
until it stops.
(6) Securely install the electrical box cover in its original position.
