CAUTION:
ECJ00060

Do not run the engine over 4000 r/min
when checking the operation of the
meter on land without supplying water,
otherwise the engine could overheat
and the catalytic converter could be se-
riously damaged.

Use the specified resistor-type spark
plugs and caps, otherwise the meter
may function erratically.
NOTE:

When the engine is started, all displays light
up for a few seconds, the buzzer sounds
twice, and then the meter starts to operate
normally.

EJU34210Checking the fuel system
WARNING
EWJ00380
Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. Failure to check for and repair any
fuel leakage could result in a fire or explo-
sion. A fire or explosion can cause severe
injury or death. Shut the engine off. Do not
smoke. Avoid spilling gasoline.
Fuel in the fuel lines is pressurized.
Fuel can spray out and cause injury or a
fire hazard if a fuel line is disconnected.
Do not run the engine with a fuel line dis-
connected.
Check the fuel system for leaks, cracks, and
malfunctions. If any problem is found, consult
a Yamaha dealer.
Check:

Fuel tank filler cap and seal for damage.

Fuel in fuel tank for water and dirt.

Fuel tank for damage, cracks, and leakage.

Fuel hoses and joints for damage, cracks,
and leakage.

Air bleeding passages for leakage.EJU34230Fuel tank
Check the fuel tank for leakage and for water
in the tank. If water is found in the fuel system,
or if the fuel tank needs to be cleaned, have a
Yamaha dealer service the watercraft.
EJU34240Checking the oil injection system
Check the oil injection system for leakage,
cracks, and malfunctions. Have a Yamaha
dealer repair the oil injection system if neces-
sary.
Check:

Oil tank for damage, cracks, and leakage.

Oil in the oil tank for water and dirt.

Oil hoses and joints for damage, cracks,
and leakage.

Oil filter for dirt.

Oil pump for leakage.EJU34250Oil tank
Check the oil tank for leakage and for water in
the tank. If water is found in the oil injection
system, or if the oil tank needs to be cleaned,
have a Yamaha dealer service the watercraft.
EJU34260Oil filter
Have a Yamaha dealer check the oil filter for
dirt and clogs.
EJU34320Checking the jet thrust nozzle angle
Check the handlebars and jet thrust nozzle for
smooth operation.
Turn the handlebars as far as possible to the
right and left and check that the difference of
distances A and B between the jet thrust noz-
zle and the nozzle is within specification.

QSTS cable (jet thrust nozzle end)

QSTS cables (pulley end)

QSTS cables (handlebar end)
Remove the QSTS cable housing. Spray a
rust inhibitor into the outer cables. Reinstall
the QSTS cable housing.

Intermediate housing
Fill the intermediate housing with water-re-
sistant grease through the grease nipple
using a grease gun.
EJU34450Checking the battery
Check the level of the battery electrolyte and
make sure that the negative (–) and positive
(+) battery leads are tightened securely.
WARNING
EWJ00790
Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dan-
gerous, causing severe burns, etc. Elec-
trolyte contains sulfuric acid. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
Antidotes
External: Flush with water.
Internal: Drink large quantities of water or
milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Call a physician im-
mediately.
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc., well away.
If using or charging the battery in an en-
closed space, make sure that it is well ven-
tilated. Always shield your eyes when
working near batteries.
Grease quantity:
Initial 10 hours or 1 month:
33.0–35.0 cm³ (1.12–1.18 US oz)
(1.16–1.23 Imp.oz)
Every 100 hours or 12 months:
6.0–8.0 cm³ (0.20–0.27 US oz)
(0.21–0.28 Imp.oz)

EJU34490Fuel injection system
The fuel injection system was set at the
Yamaha factory. If the fuel injection system
needs to be adjusted, have a Yamaha dealer
service the watercraft.
CAUTION:
ECJ00220
Do not attempt to adjust the fuel injection
system. If the settings are disturbed by
someone who does not have the neces-
sary technical knowledge, poor engine
performance and damage may result.
EJU34500Checking the trolling speed
(1) Place the watercraft in the water.
(2) Start the engine and warm it up. Use the
tachometer in the multifunction informa-
tion center to check the trolling speed.
If the trolling speed is out of specification,
have a Yamaha dealer service the watercraft.
EJU34520Bleeding the oil 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 necessary, have a Yamaha dealer bleed the
oil pump.
EJU36190Adjusting the Yamaha Adjustable
Sponsons (YAS)
The Yamaha Adjustable Sponsons can be
adjusted to two positions to enhance water-
craft performance according to operator pref-
erence and operating conditions. (See page
33 for an explanation of the positions.)To adjust the YAS:
(1) Remove the bolts on both sponsons.
(2) Remove the sponsons, and then install
them in the desired position.
NOTE:
Be sure to install both sponsons in the same
position.
(3) Tighten the sponson bolts to the specified
torque. Trolling speed:
1350 ±100 r/min
1Bolt
Sponson bolt tightening torque:
18.0 Nm (13.3 ft-lb) (1.84 kgf-m)
