proper operation of the cooling system, make
sure that water is being discharged from the
cooling water pilot outlet. If water is not being
discharged from the outlet, stop the engine
and check the jet intake for clogging. (See
page 66 for information on the jet intake.)
TIP:
It will take about 20 seconds for the water
to reach the outlet after the engine is start-
ed.
Water discharge may not be constant
when the engine is running at idling speed.
If this occurs, apply a little throttle to make
sure that water discharges properly.
EJU40323Water separator
The water separator prevents water from en-
tering the fuel tank by collecting any water
that has entered the fuel tank breather hose if
the watercraft was capsized.If water has collected in the water separator,
drain it by loosening the drain screw.
To drain water from the water separator:
(1) Place a drain pan or dry cloth under the
water separator.
(2) Gradually loosen the drain screw to drain
the water. Catch the draining water in the
drain pan or soak it up with the dry cloth
so that it does not spill into the engine
compartment. If any water spills into the
watercraft, be sure to wipe it up with a
dry cloth.
(3) Securely tighten the drain screw until it
stops.
EJU31665Engine overheat warning system
If the engine temperature rises significantly,
the engine overheat warning system will acti-
vate and the engine speed will be limited to
about 3400 r/min to help prevent damage.

(2) To mix them thoroughly, shake the con-
tainer from side to side.
EJU31917Filling the fuel tank
To fill the fuel tank:
(1) Before refueling, stop the engine. Do not
stand 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.

EJU32282
Pre-operation check pointsEJU40686Pre-launch checks
Perform the pre-launch checks in the pre-op-
eration checklist while the watercraft is on
land.
To perform the pre-launch checks:
(1) Remove the hood. (See page 24 for hood
removal and installation procedures.)
(2) Perform the checks and make sure that
there are no malfunctioning items or oth-
er problems.
(3) After completing these checks, install the
hood in its original position.
EJU32334Engine compartment check
WARNING
EWJ00462
Failure to ventilate the engine compart-
ment could result in a fire or explosion. Do
not start the engine if there is a fuel leak.
Ventilate the engine compartment. Leave the
engine compartment open for a few minutes
to allow any fuel vapors to escape.
Make sure that there is no damage inside the
engine compartment.
EJU34208Fuel system checks
WARNING
EWJ00382
Leaking fuel can result in fire or explosion.
Check for fuel leakage regularly.
If any fuel leakage is found, the fuel sys-
tem must be repaired by a qualified me-
chanic. Improper repairs can make the
watercraft unsafe to operate.
Make sure that there is no damage, leakage,
or other problem in the fuel system.
Check:
Carburetor for leakage
Fuel filler cap and seal for damage
Fuel in fuel tank for water and dirt
Fuel tank for damage and leakage
Fuel hoses and joints for damage and leak-
age
Fuel filter for leakage
Fuel cock for leakage
Fuel tank breather hose for damage and
leakage
Releasing the pressure in the fuel tank
Release the pressure in the fuel tank before
each use.
To release the pressure in the fuel tank:
(1) Loosen the fuel filler cap slowly and re-
move it to release any pressure in the fuel
tank.
(2) Securely install the fuel filler cap by tight-
ening it until it stops.
EJU32365Fuel level check
Check the fuel level in the fuel tank.

Post-operation care
WARNING
EWJ00321
Always turn the fuel cock knob to “OFF”
when storing the watercraft, otherwise
fuel could leak out into the engine or en-
gine compartment, which would create a
fire hazard.
After using the watercraft, always take it out
of the water, clean it, and store it. Leaving the
watercraft in the water for extended periods
will accelerate the rate of normal deteriora-
tion of the jet pump and hull. Marine organ-
isms and corrosion are some of the
conditions that can shorten the life of many
watercraft components.
EJU3351AFlushing the cooling water passages
NOTICE
ECJ01361
Do not run the engine for more than 15
seconds on land without supplying water,
otherwise the engine could overheat.
Flush the cooling water passages to prevent
them from clogging with salt, sand, or dirt.
(1) Place the watercraft in a horizontal posi-
tion.
(2) Remove the hood. (See page 24 for hood
removal and installation procedures.)(3) Connect the garden hose adapter to a
garden hose.
(4) Loosen the flushing hose connector cap
and remove it. Insert the garden hose
adapter into the flushing hose connector
by pushing and twisting it until it is se-
curely connected.
(5) Connect the garden hose to a water tap.
(6) Make sure that the area around the wa-
tercraft is clear, and then start the en-
gine. Immediately after the engine starts,
turn the water supply on gradually until

(4) Install the spark plug cap by pushing it
down until it is securely installed in its
original position.
(5) Securely install the hood in its original
position.
EJU41182Lubrication points
Lubricate moving parts with water-resistant
grease. (See page 54 for information on the
main lubrication points.)
Intermediate housing
Fill the intermediate housing with water-resis-
tant grease through the grease nipple using a
grease gun.
EJU34226Checking the fuel filter
Check the fuel filter. The fuel filter should be
replaced if water or dirt is found in the filter.Have a Yamaha dealer replace the fuel filter if
necessary.
EJU34442Adjusting the choke cable
Check that the choke cable is properly ad-
justed.
To adjust the choke cable:
(1) Pull the choke knob out until it stops, and
then release the knob. The knob should
not move.
(2) If the choke knob moves back on its
own, tighten the choke knob adjusting
nut slightly. If the knob is difficult to
move, loosen the adjusting nut slightly.
