Safe boating rules
Your Yamaha watercraft is legally consid-
ered a powerboat. Operation of the water-
craft must be in accordance with the rules
and regulations governing the waterway on
which it is used.
EJU10061
Enjoy your watercraft
responsibly
You share the areas you enjoy when riding
your watercraft with others and with nature.
So your enjoyment includes a responsibility
to treat these other people, and the lands,
waters, and wildlife with respect and cour-
tesy.
Whenever and wherever you ride, think of
yourself as the guest of those around you.
Remember, for example, that the sound of
your watercraft may be music to you, but it
could be just noise to others. And the excit-
ing splash of your wake can make waves
others won’t enjoy. Avoid riding close to
shoreline homes and waterfowl nesting
areas or other wildlife areas, and keep a
respectful distance from fishermen, other
boats, swimmers, and populated beaches.
When travel in areas like these is unavoid-
able, ride slowly and obey all laws.
Proper maintenance is necessary to
ensure that the exhaust emission and sound
levels of your watercraft will continue to be
within regulated limits. You have the respon-
sibility to make sure that the recommended
maintenance in this Owner’s/Operator’s
Manual is carried out.
Remember that pollution can be harmful
to the environment. Do not refuel or add oil
where a spill could cause damage to nature.
Remove your watercraft from the water and
move it away from the shoreline before refu-
eling. And keep your surroundings pleasant
for the people and wildlife that share the
waterways: don’t litter!
When you ride responsibly, with respect
and courtesy for others, you help ensure that
our waterways stay open for the enjoyment
of a variety of recreational opportunities.

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.

nents.
@
NOTE:@ YAMALUBE 2-W is developed for this water-
craft and available from a Yamaha dealer.

Replacing the fuse
The fuse is in the electrical box 1.
To replace the fuse:
1. Remove the cap 2.
2. Replace the fuse 4 with the spare
fuse5 of the correct amperage by using
the special tool 3 on the reverse side of
the cap.
WARNING@ Do not use fuses of higher amperage
than those recommended. Substitution
of a fuse of improper rating can cause
extensive electrical system damage and
possible fire.

Bleeding the oil injection
pump
If the oil tank becomes completely empty,
or any hose connected to the oil pump has
been disconnected, the oil pump must be
bled to ensure proper oil flow.
If bleeding of the oil pump is necessary,
have a Yamaha dealer bleed it. Fuse amperage:
