Exercise 1: Controls
Objective:
This exercise trains you to locate and operate the watercraft’s controls without looking or
hesitating. You must master this skill so you can scan constantly for people, objects, and
other watercraft as you maneuver, rather than taking away concentration to find a control.
Skills:
Knowing where every control is and how to use it without having to stop and think about
it.
Directions:
Drill 1: Identifying the components and controls
Read your Owner’s/Operator’s Manual to identify the watercraft’s main components and
controls. Do not just assume you know how a control works, read the instructions to be sure!
Drill 2: Pre-operation checks
Practice performing the pre-operation checks listed in your Owner’s/Operator’s Manual.
You learned where everything is in Drill 1. Now make sure everything is working proper ly. Pay particular attention to the steering
controls and the throttle lever.
Drill 3: Operating positions
With the watercraft on land and the engine off, board and become familiar with the cor-
rect operating positions described in your Owner’s/Operator’s Manual. Then, with your
eyes facing straight ahead, locate each control and verify that you know how to use it.
Continue this drill until you feel comfortable with the controls.

Exercise 2: Starting and stopping engine
Objective:
This exercise teaches you about how the engine starts and stops and how the watercraft
behaves after starting and while idling.
Skills:
Identifying and performing engine starting and stopping controls and procedures.
Directions:
Launch the watercraft and practice this exercise while standing next to it in water free
from weeds or debris and at least 60 cm (2 ft) deep from the bottom of the watercraft. Never operate in water that is less than 60 cm (2 ft) deep, otherwise pebbles or sand
could be sucked into the jet intake, causing impeller damage or engine overheating.

Exercise 2: Starting and stopping engine
Drill 1: Starting the engine
1. Check that the unlock mode indicator “1” is displayed on the multifunction informationcenter to confirm that the unlock mode of the Yamaha Security System is selected.
(See the “Yamaha Security System” section in the owner’s/operator’s manual for more
information.)
2. Attach the engine shut-off cord “3” to your wrist. Insert the clip “1”, under the engine shut-off switch “2”. Make sure to keep the engine shut-off cord free from the handle-
bars so the engine stops if the operator falls off. The clip may not pull free if the cord is
wrapped around the handlebars.
3. Push the engine start/stop switch “1” (red button). (Do not squeeze either the throttle lever or RiDE lever. Otherwise, the engine will not
start.)
4. Release the start switch as soon as the engine starts to run.

Exercise 2: Starting and stopping engine
Drill 2: Stopping the engine
1. Release the throttle lever and let the engine slow to idle.
2. Push the engine start/stop switch “1” (red button). The ignition circuit opens and stopsthe engine immediately.
3. Practice pulling the engine shut-off cord to remove the clip from the engine shut-off
switch.
Tips:
1. Attach the engine shut-off cord to your left wrist before starting the engine. To prevent accidental starting, always remove the clip from the engine shut-off switch when the
engine is not running.
2. Do not operate the start switch for more th an 5 seconds at a time. Never push the start
switch while the engine is running.
3. If the engine does not start in 5 seconds, release the start switch and try again after 15 seconds. Continuous cranking for more than 5 seconds will discharge the battery
and the engine will not start.
4. When the engine starts, thrust from the jet unit will move the watercraft. Squeezing the throttle lever produces more thrust. Apply only enough throttle to keep the engine run-
ning.

Exercise 5: Sub-planing speed maneuvering
Stopping
The watercraft is not equipped with a separate braking system. The watercraft slows
down by water resistance or, when operating in reverse, by the water jet. The watercraft
slows down as soon as the throttle lever is released, but will coast for a distance before
fully stopping. If you are not sure you can stop in time before hitting an obstacle, apply
throttle and turn in another direction. From full speed, the watercraft comes to a complete stop due to water resistance in
approximately 95 m (310 ft) after the throttle lever is released or the engine is stopped,
although this distance will vary depending on many factors, including gross weight, water
surface conditions, and wind direction.
If the RiDE lever is squeezed to slow down, the stopping distance is approximately 30%
shorter than when the RiDE lever is not used. However, this distance will vary depending
on many factors, including gross weight, water surface conditions, and wind direction.
Drill 1: Moving forward and turning in large ovals
1. Gradually accelerate forward to sub-planing speed, and then make a gradual right turn while maintaining your speed.
2. Repeat the drill, making a gradual left turn.
3. Repeat the drill, traveling forward and turning to make a complete oval.

Exercise 6: Full acceleration and stopping
Objective:
This exercise teaches you how the watercraft stops.
Skills:
Stopping, operating at planing speed, and stopping from planing speed.
Directions:
Releasing the throttle completely produces only minimum thrust. Once the engine slows
down, the watercraft will no longer respond to handlebar input until you apply throttle again
or you reach a trolling speed - you need throttle to steer.
Drill 1: Stopping
1. Accelerate to planing speed, and then release the throttle lever until you come to a stop.
2. Make a turn at trolling speed as shown in the illustration.
3. Repeat the drill, increasing your maximum speed as you progress.
Drill 2: Approaching objects
1. Pick a spot in the water at a certain di stance away and visualize an imaginary object
there.
2. Accelerate toward the chosen spot, then release the throttle lever and slow to see if you can stop before you reach the imaginary object.
3. If the watercraft will not stop before it reach es the imaginary object, look in all directions,
then apply throttle and turn away from the spot, as if you were avoiding the object.
Repeat the drill at different distances from your chosen spot and at different speeds so
you become familiar with both stopping and turning as ways to avoid objects in your path.
Tips:
1. If a smaller practice area is used, reduce the maximum speed you reach.
2. The faster you go, the farther it will take you to stop.

Exercise 7: Planing speed operation
Drill 2: Planing speed operation while turning
1. Accelerate to planing speed.
2. Combine right and left turns to make a series of circles and figure eights.
3. Repeat the drill, gradually increasing your speed and making tighter turns. Do not try todo too much too soon.
Tips:
1. Get to know how the watercraft responds at lower speeds before trying to go faster.
2. You can make sharper turns at planing speeds.
3. Remember, as with any motor vehicle, the faster you go, the farther it takes to stop.

Exercise 9: Operating with passengers
3. Have the passenger get on board and sit astride the seat. If additional passengers aregetting on, have them follow the same procedure.
4. Make sure all passengers are properly seated with their feet in the footwell and that they are securely holding on to the person in front of them or to the handgrip provided.
5. Attach the engine shut-off cord to your left wrist, and then install the clip to the engine shut-off switch.
6. Look in all directions, start the engine, and then start off slowly.
7. Practice accelerating, turning, and stopping to get accustomed to how the watercraft handles with passengers on board.

Übungsgruppe 2: Starten und Anhalten des Motors
Übung 1: Starten des Motors
1. Sich vergewissern, dass die Anzeige für den Entsperrmodus “1” im Multifunktionsdisplay ange-zeigtwird, um sicherzustellen, dass der Entsperrmodus des Yamaha Security System augewählt
ist. (Siehe Abschnitt “Yamaha-Sicherheitssystem” in der Bedienungsanleitung für mehr Informati-
on.)
2. Befestigen Sie die Motor-Quickstoppleine “3” an Ihrem Handgelenk. Clip einsetzen “1”, unter dem
Motor-Quickstoppschalter “2”. Die Motor-Quicks toppleine von den Lenkergriffen fernhalten, so
dass der Motor abgestellt wird wenn der Fahrzeug führer abfällt. Der Clip wird unter Umständen
nicht herausgezogen, wenn er um die Lenkergriffe gewickelt wird.
3. Den Motor-Start-/-Stopp-Schalter “1” drücken (roter Knopf). (Weder den Gashebel noch den RiDE-Hebel betätigen. Andernfalls startet der Motor nicht.)
4. Den Startschalter loslassen, soba ld der Motor zu laufen beginnt.
