Engine overheat warning
indicator
If the engine starts to overheat, the warn-
ing light and engine overheat warning indi-
cator begin to blink, and the buzzer sounds
intermittently.
If the watercraft continues to be operated
at higher speeds after the warning system
has been activated, the warning light,
engine overheat warning indicator and the
buzzer will change from intermittently to
continuously on. (See “Engine overheat
warning system” on page 2-12 for further
details.)
The warning signals will turn off when the
engine is started after it has cooled down.
NOTE:@ When the warnings overlap each other, their
priority is as follows:
1. Final overheat warning
2. Fuel level warning
3. Oil level warning
4. Initial overheat warning
5. Exhaust temperature warning
6. Check engine warning

Fuel and oil
This engine uses Yamaha’s oil injection
system, which provides superior lubrication
by ensuring the proper oil ratio for all operat-
ing conditions. No fuel premixing is neces-
sary except during the engine break-in
period. Simply pour gasoline into the fuel
tank and oil into the oil tank.
The engine utilizes an electronic fuel
injection system to deliver the optimal air-
fuel mixture ratio required by the engine.
With optimal combustion conditions, this
system is able to increase startability and
improve fuel economy.
EJU19122
Gasoline
WARNING@ GASOLINE AND ITS VAPORS ARE
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE!
Do not smoke when refueling, and
keep away from sparks, flames, or
other sources of ignition.
Stop engine before refueling.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with
the watercraft in a horizontal position.
Do not stand or sit on the watercraft
while refueling in case of fire.
Take care not to spill gasoline. If gaso-
line spills, wipe it up immediately with
dry rags. Always properly dispose of
gasoline-soaked rags.

Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol
containing ethanol and that containing meth-
anol.
Gasohol containing ethanol can be used
if ethanol content does not exceed 10% and
the fuel meets minimum octane ratings.
Gasohol containing methanol is not rec-
ommended by Yamaha because it can
cause fuel system damage or engine perfor-
mance problems.

2-stroke engine oil
CAUTION:@ Use only YAMALUBE 2-W oil. Using
another oil can seriously damage the cat-
alytic converter and other engine compo-
nents.
@
NOTE:@ YAMALUBE 2-W is developed for this water-
craft and available from a Yamaha dealer.
@
Recommended engine oil:
YAMALUBE 2-W oil only

Filling the fuel tank
CAUTION:@ Be careful when refueling. Avoid getting
water or other contaminants in the fuel
tank. Contaminated fuel can cause poor
running or engine damage.
@
1. Open the hood and remove the front
storage compartment, to check the fuel
level. (See page 2-20 for front storage
compartment.)
2. Open the fuel tank filler cap, and slowly
add fuel to the fuel tank.
3. Stop filling when the fuel just reaches the
bottom of the filler tube on the fuel tank.
Do not fill into the filler tube, because
fuel could spill out.
Fuel tank capacity:
Total: 60 L (15.9 US gal, 13.2 Imp gal)

Filling the oil tank
WARNING@ Do not add gasoline to the oil tank.
Fire or explosion could result.
Oil in the bilge is a serious fire hazard.
Wipe up any spilled oil immediately.
@
CAUTION:@ Do not allow the oil tank to become com-
pletely empty. If the oil tank becomes
empty the oil injection pump must be
bled to ensure proper oil flow, otherwise
engine damage may occur. If bleeding of
the oil pump is necessary, have a
Yamaha dealer bleed it.
@
1. Remove the seat to watch the oil level.
(See page 2-5 for seat.)
2. Open the oil tank filler cap, and very
slowly add engine oil to the oil tank.
3. Stop filling when the oil just reaches the
top of oil tank visible.
Oil tank capacity:
5.5 L (1.5 US gal, 1.2 Imp gal)

NOTE:@ Pre-operation checks should be made thoroughly each time the watercraft is used. This pro-
cedure can be completed in a short time. It is worth the time spent to assure safety and reli-
ability.

Engine compartment
Ventilate the engine compar tment before
each use.
To ventilate the engine compartment,
remove seat and front storage compart-
ment. (See page 2-5 for seat, and 2-20 for
front storage compartment.) Allow the
engine compartment to remain open for a
few minutes to allow any fuel vapors to
escape. Also, check for loose electrical con-
nections.
WARNING@ Failure to ventilate the engine compart-
ment could result in fire or explosion. Do
not start the engine if there is a fuel leak
or a loose electrical connection.

EJU20570
Hull and deck
Check the hull and deck for cracks or
other damage. If any damage is found, have
a Yamaha dealer repair the watercraft.

Bilge
Check for moisture and fuel residue in the
bilge.
This watercraft is equipped with a conven-
tional jet vacuum bilge draining system and
an electric bilge draining system. The elec-
tric bilge draining system is operated when
the engine is running. When excess water
reaches the water inlet of the electric bilge
pump, the water is discharged via the
exhaust passage from the jet thrust nozzle.
A small quantity of water will remain in the
bilge and should be removed manually. To
remove any residual water, perform the fol-
lowing procedure.
To remove water from the bilge:
1. Remove the stern drain plugs.
2. Raise the bow of the watercraft until the
water drains.
3. After the water has drained, wipe the
bilge with dry rags to make sure that the
bilge is thoroughly dry.
4. Install the drain plugs.
CAUTION:@ Make sure that the stern drain plugs
are tightened securely before launch-
ing the watercraft.
Clean any foreign materials, such as
dirt or sand, from the drain plug
threads before installing the drain
plugs.
