EJU31917Filling the fuel tank
To fill the fuel tank:
(1) Before refueling, stop the engine. Do notstand or sit on the watercraft. Never refu-
el while smoking, or while in the vicinity
of sparks, open flames, or other sources
of ignition.
(2) Place the watercraft in a well-ventilated area and in a horizontal position.
(3) Remove the hood, and then check the fuel level. (See page 24 for hood removal
and installation procedures.)
(4) Loosen the fuel filler cap and remove it.
(5) Slowly add fuel to the fuel tank. (6) Stop filling when the fuel level just reach-
es the bottom of the filler tube. Do not fill
up the filler tube. Because fuel expands
when it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank. Do not leave the watercraft
with a full tank in direct sunlight.
(7) Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately with a dry cloth.
(8) Securely install the fuel filler cap by tight- ening it until it stops.
(9) Securely install the hood in its original position.

(2) Turn the fuel cock knob to “ON”.
(3) Attach the engine shut-off cord (lanyard)to your left wrist, and then attach the clip
to the engine shut-off switch. (See page
19 for information on operating the en-
gine shut-off switch.) WARNING! Check
that the engine shut-off cord (lanyard)
is attached correctly. If the engine
shut-off cord (lanyard) is not attached
correctly, it may not pull free when the
operator falls off, allowing the water-
craft to continue to run and cause an
accident.

(4) Pull the choke knob all the way out to start a cold engine.
TIP:
The choke should not be used when the en-
gine is warm.
(5) While lightly squeezing the throttle lever,push the start switch (green button) to
start the engine. (See page 19 for infor-
mation on operating the start switch.)
WARNING! Do not apply too much throttle when starting the engine, oth-
erwise the watercraft will accelerate
unexpectedly. This could cause a col-
lision or cause the operator to be
thrown overboard.
[EWJ00592]
(6) After the engine has warmed up, push the choke knob in to its original position.
TIP:
If the choke knob is left pulled out, the engine
will stall.

EJU34379Checking the spark plugs
WARNING
EWJ00351
Be careful not to damage the insulator
when removing or installing a spark plug.
A damaged insulator could allow sparks to
escape, which could result in a fire or ex-
plosion.
Remove and check the condition of the spark
plugs.
The condition of a spark plug can indicate
something about the condition of the engine.
For example, if the center electrode portion is
very white, this could indicate an intake air
leak or carburetion problem in that cylinder.
Do not attempt to diagnose any problems
yourself. Have a Yamaha dealer service the
watercraft.
To remove a spark plug:
(1) Remove the hood. (See page 24 for hoodremoval and installation procedures.)
(2) Remove the spark plug cap.
(3) Remove the spark plug, and then check the condition of the spark plug and the
spark plug gap. If the electrode portion is
significantly discolored, if electrode ero-
sion becomes excessive, if carbon and
other deposits are excessive, or if the
spark plug gap is not within the specified
range, replace the spark plug.
TIP:
When the engine is operating normally, the
color of the spark plug electrode portion will
be a medium-to-light tan.
To install a spark plug:
(1) Wipe off any dirt from the threads, insu-lator, and gasket surface of the spark
plug.
(2) Install the spark plug, and then tighten it to the specified torque.
TIP:
If a torque wrench is not available when you
are installing a spark plug, a good estimate of
the correct torque is 1/4 turn to 1/2 turn past
finger tight using the spark plug wrench in-
cluded in the tool kit. Have the spark plug ad-
justed to the correct torque with a torque
wrench as soon as possible.
