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 courte-
sy.
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 exciting
splash of your wake can make waves others
won’t enjoy.
Avoid riding close to shoreline homes and
waterfowl nesting areas or other wildlife ar-
eas, and keep a respectful distance from fish-
ermen, other boats, swimmers, and
populated beaches. When travel in areas like
these is unavoidable, 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 reg-
ulated limits. You have the responsibility to
make sure that the recommended mainte-
nance in this owner’s/operator’s manual is
carried out.
Remember, 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 refueling. Dis-
pose of water and any fuel and oil residue in
the engine compartment according to local
regulations. 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.

EJU31273Steering pole
The steering pole can be moved up or down
to change the height of the handlebars.
EJU35975Cooling water pilot outlet
When the engine is running, some of the
cooling water that is circulated in the engine
is discharged from the cooling water pilot
outlet.
There is a cooling water pilot outlet on the
port (left) side of the watercraft. To check for
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 72 for information on the jet intake.)
TIP:
It will take about 60 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 thewater 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.1Cooling water pilot outlet

Meter
When the meter is activated, all of the fuel
level meter segments and all indicators come
on. After a few seconds, the fuel level meter
displays the remaining amount of fuel and all
indicators go off.
EJU45620Fuel level meter
The fuel level meter shows the amount of fuel
remaining in the fuel tank. The amount of re-
maining fuel is shown using four display seg-
ments, which disappear one at a time as the
fuel level decreases.
TIP:
The accuracy of the fuel level meter varies
depending on the operating conditions. Use
this function as a reference only.
EJU45631Fuel level warning
If the fuel remaining in the fuel tank drops to
about 6.0 L (1.59 US gal, 1.32 Imp.gal), the
lowest fuel level segment blinks.
If the fuel level warning is activated, refill the
fuel tank as soon as possible. (See page 31
for information on filling the fuel tank.)

Fuel requirementsEJU45582FuelEWJ00283
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are ex-
tremely flammable. To avoid fires and
explosions and to reduce the risk of in-
jury when refueling, follow these in-
structions.
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause in-
jury or death. Handle gasoline with care.
Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you
should swallow some gasoline, inhale a
lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gaso-
line in your eyes, see your doctor imme-
diately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gasoline
spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.
ECJ00322
Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded
gasoline can seriously damage the en-
gine.
Avoid getting water and contaminants in
the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can
cause poor performance and engine
damage. Use only fresh gasoline that
has been stored in clean containers.
TIP:
This mark identifies the recommended fuel
for this watercraft as specified by European
regulation (EN228).
Check that the gasoline nozzle has the
same identifier when fueling.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol and gasohol containing meth-
anol.
Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if
the ethanol content does not exceed 10%
and the fuel meets th e minimum octane rat-
ings. E-85 is a fuel blend containing 85% eth-
anol and therefore must not be used in this
watercraft. All ethanol blends containing
more than 10% ethanol can cause fuel sys-
tem damage or engine performance prob-
lems.
Yamaha does not recommend gasohol con- taining methanol because it can cause fuel
system damage and engine performance
problems. Recommended fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum octane rating of 86
(Pump octane number) = (R + M)/2
90 (Research octane number)

Operation and handling requirements

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 ventilate the engine compartment. (See page 26 for
hood removal and installation proce-
dures.)
(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 hood in its original position, and then install the fuel filler cap
by tightening it until it clicks.
