The engine stop switch (red button) stops the
engine when the switch is pushed.
EJU31163Engine shut-off switch “ ”
The engine shut-off switch automatically
stops the engine when the clip, on the end of
the engine shut-off cord (lanyard), is removed
from the switch, such as if the operator falls off
the watercraft.
Insert the clip under the engine shut-off switch
before starting the engine.
When the engine is not running, remove the
clip from the engine shut-off switch to prevent accidental starting or unauthorized operation
by children or others.

Pre-operation checks
36
Add fuel if necessary. (See page 29 for infor-
mation on filling the fuel tank.)
EJU32423Water separator check
Make sure that no water has collected in the
water separator. If water has collected in the
water separator, drain it. (See page 22 for in-
formation on draining the water separator.)
EJU40181Engine unit check
Check the exterior of the engine unit for dam-
age or other problem.
EJU41011Bilge water check
Make sure that no bilge water has collected in
the engine compartment. If bilge water has
collected in the engine compartment, wipe it
up with a dry cloth. NOTICE: Excessive wa-
ter in the engine compartment can splash
into the engine, which can result in severe
damage.

EJU32484
Battery checks
Make sure that the battery terminals and
breather hose are not damaged and that the
battery leads and breather hose are connect-
ed properly. WARNING! Fire or explosion
could result if the breather hose is dam- aged, obstructed, or not connected prop-
erly.
[EWJ00451]
Make sure that the electrolyte level is be-
tween the minimum and maximum level
marks.
WARNING! Never operate the wa-
tercraft if the battery does not have suffi-
cient power to start the engine or if it
shows any other signs of decreased pow-
er. Loss of battery power may leave you
stranded.
[EWJ01240]
Make sure that the battery is securely held in
place.
EJU32613Steering system checks
Turn the handlebars to the right and left sev-
eral times to make sure that operation is
smooth and unrestricted throughout the

flows out continually from the cooling wa-
ter pilot outlet.
(7) 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 perform
the procedure again from step 6.
NOTICE: Do not supply water to the
cooling water passages when the en-
gine is not running. The water could
flow back through the muffler into the
engine, causing severe engine dam-
age.
[ECJ00122]
(8) Turn the water supply off.
(9) Discharge the remaining water out of the cooling water passages by alternately
squeezing and releasing the throttle lever
quickly for 10 to 15 seconds.
(10) Stop the engine.
(11) Remove the garden hose adapter, and then securely install the flushing hose
connector cap by tightening it until it
stops.
(12) Securely install the hood in its original po- sition.
EJU40742Cleaning the watercraft
(1) Remove the hood. (See page 24 for hoodremoval and installation procedures.)
(2) Rinse the engine and engine compart-
ment with a small amount of water.
NOTICE: Do not use high-pressure water when rinsing the engine or en-
gine compartment as severe engine
damage could result.
[ECJ00571]
(3) Wipe the engine and engine compart-
ment with a dry cloth.
(4) Wash down the hull, deck, and jet pump with fresh water.
(5) Wipe the hull, deck, and jet pump with a dry cloth.
(6) Wipe all vinyl and rubber components, such as the engine compartment seals,
with a vinyl protectant.
(7) To minimize corrosion, spray metallic parts of the hull, deck, and engine with a
rust inhibitor.
(8) Allow the engine compartment to air dry completely before installing the hood.
(9) Securely install the hood in its original po- sition.
EJU33686Battery care
If the watercraft will not be used for more than
a month, remove the battery from the water-
craft, check it, and then store it in a cool, dry
place.
WARNING
EWJ00791
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.
Keep out of the reach of children.
To remove the battery:
(1) Disconnect the negative (–) battery lead.
(2) Disconnect the positive (+) battery lead.
(3) Disconnect the breather hose.
(4) Unhook the battery bands, and then re-move the battery from the watercraft.
Checking the battery
●Make sure that the battery case is not dam-
aged.
●Make sure that the battery terminals are not
corroded or damaged.
●Make sure that the breather hose is not
clogged or damaged.
Checking the electrolyte level
Make sure that the electrolyte level is be-
tween the maximum and minimum level
marks.
If the electrolyte level is low, add distilled wa-
ter to raise it to the specified level. NOTICE:
Use only distilled water for replenishing the battery, otherwise battery life could be
shortened.
[ECJ00241]
If distilled water was added, check the battery
voltage.
It is recommended to have a Yamaha dealer
check the battery voltage and charge the bat-
tery. If you charge the battery yourself, be
sure to read and follow the instructions provid-
ed with the battery tester and charger you
use.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to charge a
battery hastily. Battery life could be short-
ened.
[ECJ00251]
Checking the battery bands
Make sure that the battery bands are not
damaged.
To store the battery:
(1) Clean the battery case using fresh water.

charged condition can cause perma-
nent battery damage. Check the
battery periodically.
[ECJ00102]
To install the battery:
(1) Place the battery in the battery compart- ment and hook the battery bands onto the
holders.
(2) Connect the positive (+) battery lead (red) to the positive (+) battery terminal.
NOTICE: Reversal of the battery leads
will damage the electrical parts.
[ECJ00261]
(3) Connect the negative (–) battery lead (black) to the negative (–) battery termi-
nal.
(4) Connect the breather hose to the battery. WARNING! Fire or explosion could re-sult if the breather hose is damaged,
obstructed, or not connected proper-
ly.
