Fuel filter
This watercraft is equipped with a one-
piece, disposable fuel filter 1. The fuel filter
should be replaced after the initial 10 hours
or first month of operation and every
200 hours or 24 months thereafter, or if
water is found in the filter. Have a Yamaha
dealer replace the fuel filter if necessary.
WARNING@ Do not try to replace the fuel filter your-
self. An incorrectly installed filter can
leak gasoline, which could lead to fire or
explosion. If necessary, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the fuel filter.
