Storage
WARNING@ Always place the watercraft upright in a
horizontal position when storing it, oth-
erwise fuel could leak out into the engine
or engine compartment, which could
result in a fire hazard.
@
Storage for prolonged periods of time,
such as winter storage, requires preventa-
tive maintenance to ensure against deterio-
ration. It is advisable to have the watercraft
serviced by a Yamaha dealer prior to stor-
age. However, the following procedures can
be performed by the owner.
EJU11940
Flushing the cooling system
Flushing the cooling system is essential
to prevent the cooling system from being
clogged with salt, sand, or dirt.
WARNING@ Stay away from stern when engine is run-
ning on land. Hot water and steam spurt-
ing from exhaust outlet into the air can
cause serious burns.
@
CAUTION:@
Do not supply water to the cooling
water passages when the engine is not
running. The water could flow back
through the muffler into the crankcase
causing severe engine damage.

Do not run the engine for more 15 sec-
onds without supplying water, other-
wise the engine may overheat.

Do not run engine over 4,000 r/min on
land. The catalytic converter could
sustain serious damage.

1. Put the watercraft on land in a horizontal
position.
2. Open the flushing hose connector
cap1, and then insert the garden hose
adapter 2 into the flushing hose con-
nector 3 and turn it until it is securely
connected.
3. Connect the garden hose adapter to a
water tap using a hose.
4. Start the engine, and then immediately
turn the water supply on until water flows
out continually from the cooling water
pilot outlet.
5. Run the engine at idling speed for about
3 minutes watching the engine condition.
If the engine stops while flushing, turn
the water supply off immediately and
repeat the above steps.
6. Turn the water supply off, and then force
the remaining water out from the cooling
passages by running the engine at
4,000 r/min or less within 10 to 15 sec-
onds.
7. Stop the engine.
8. Remove the garden hose adapter and
secure the cap.
