Quick Shift Trim System
(QSTS) selector
The QSTS selector 1 is located at the
left handlebar grip and is used to adjust the
trim angle of the watercraft.
Operating the QSTS selector changes the
angle of the jet thrust nozzle vertically. This
changes the trim angle of the watercraft.
There are 5 positions: 2 bow down posi-
tions A and B, neutral “N,” and 2 bow up
positions C and D.
To change the trim angle:
1. Reduce engine speed to 3,400 r/min or
less.
2. Squeeze the shift lock lever 2, and then
turn the QSTS selector to the desired
position.
3. Release the shift lock lever to lock the
QSTS selector.
CAUTION:@ Do not turn the QSTS selector while
operating the watercraft at full throttle,
otherwise damage could occur to the
QSTS.
@
The neutral “N” position will provide good
performance for most operating conditions.
To enhance particular types of perfor-
mance, select bow down or bow up.

Bow down
Turn the grip to A or B and the bow will
go down while the watercraft is on plane.
Bow down puts more of the bow in the
water. This gives the watercraft more “hook,”
which enhances turning performance. This
position will also help the watercraft get up
on plane more quickly.
At higher speeds, however, the watercraft
will have greater tendency to “bow steer”
and follow waves and wakes in the water.
Fuel economy and maximum speed are also
reduced.
EJU01024
Bow up
Turn the grip to C or D and the bow will
go up while the watercraft is on plane.
Bow up puts less of the bow in the water.
There is less water resistance, so straight-
ahead acceleration when on plane and top
speed are enhanced.
In some conditions, however, the water-
craft may tend to “porpoise” (hop in the
water). If the watercraft is porpoising,
choose neutral or bow down.

Handgrip
The handgrip 1 provides a handhold for
boarding the watercraft and for a spotter
when facing rearward.
CAUTION:@ Do not use to tow objects, lift watercraft,
or attach tie downs, otherwise damage
could occur.

Side grips
The side grips 2 are used by the rear
passenger for support.
CAUTION:@ Do not use to lift watercraft or attach tie
downs, otherwise damage could occur.

Engine overheat warning
system
This model is equipped with an engine
overheat warning system.
If the engine starts to overheat, the warn-
ing light, the indicator for the water tempera-
ture symbol, and “W. T E M P” display begin to
blink, the buzzer sounds, and the engine
speed will be limited to about 3,400 r/min.
When this occurs, check for water dis-
charge at the cooling water pilot outlet. If
there is no discharge of water, reduce the
engine speed and beach the watercraft, and
then check the intake grate and impeller for
clogging.
WARNING@ Before attempting to remove weeds or
debris from the intake grate or impeller,
shut the engine off and remove the clip
from the engine shut-off switch. Severe
injury or death could result from coming
in contact with the rotating parts of the
jet pump.
@
CAUTION:@ If you cannot locate and correct the
cause of the overheating, consult a
Yamaha dealer. Continuing to operate at
higher speeds could result in severe
engine damage.
@
NOTE:@ Press any button on the multifunction meter
to stop the buzzer.

CAUTION:@
Do not run the engine at full throttle or
more than 15 seconds to check the
meter for operation on land. The
engine could overheat.

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

NOTE:@ The demonstration mode display starts
showing after the engine starts. Then all dis-
plays light up and the buzzer sounds twice.
The meter will operate normally after a few
seconds. The current display will continue to

PADLOC (Programmable
digital locking ignition)
This feature is provided to deter unautho-
rized use.
The function allows you to choose either
“START” or “LOCK” mode, as the situation
requires, much as you would use an ignition
key in a motor vehicle. If you have previously
chosen “LOCK” mode, the engine will not
start unless the right code is put in to select
“START” mode.
NOTE:@ If you do not use the PADLOC system, it is
unnecessary to perform the initial setting of
the PADLOC. In this case, the “START”
mode is automatically selected.
@
EJU01311
PADLOC initial setting
1. Remove the cover 1 in the front storage
compartment. Disconnect the blue con-
nector 2 behind the front storage com-
partment.
2. After the warning light turns on, press
the “MODE” button for at least 3 seconds
until the display shows “COdE.” You are
ready to set your code.

3. Select your four-letter code by pressing
the “A/SET,” “B,” or “C” buttons in a
desired sequence.
NOTE:@ If you do not press a button for more than 10
seconds, the display automatically turns off.
This cancels the process of setting a code.
@
4. After code setting is complete, the
buzzer will sound 3 times and the display
will show “SET.” Lastly, the display turns
off and the warning light turns on again.
After the meter has displayed this
sequence, connect the blue connector
again.
NOTE:@
Your own code is kept even if the battery
terminal is disconnected.

If you forget your own code, or if you want
to change the code, do this initial setting
procedure again from the beginning.

EJU01224
Selecting “PA D L O C” mode
Selecting the desired mode can only be
done after the initial setting has been done
and while the display is not lit.
1. Press the “MODE” button until the meter
displays the current mode, “START” or
“LOCK.”
2. With “START” or “LOCK” displayed,
press the “MODE” button continuously
for about 3 seconds until the display
changes to “COdE.”

3. Enter your four-letter code by pressing
the “A/SET,” “B,” or “C” buttons in the
right sequence.
NOTE:@ If you do not press a button for more than 10
seconds, the display automatically turns off.
This cancels the process of selecting the
mode.
@
4. If the code entered is correct, the mode
will change from the previous mode to
either “START” or “LOCK.” Then the
mode display and buzzer will operate for
2 seconds.
NOTE:@
Once you select a mode, the mode will
not change unless you perform this mode
selection sequence again.

If the wrong code is entered, the mode
display shows “ERROR” for 2 seconds
and the buzzer will sound 5 times. Then
the display returns to “COdE.”
