Many states have minimum age and education requirements. Always check states and all applicable local boating laws that apply to you before you oper­ ate the water vehicle.K2002• Your water vehicle is designed to carry the operator and only one passenger, as long as the total weight does not exceed the maximum load capacity.ATTENTION: -----   -  Maximum vehicle load capacity: 160 kg (353 lb)Includes weight of operator, passenger, and any cargo.• Do not try to ride with a passenger until you have considerable practice riding alone. Operating with a passenger requires more skill. Take the time to become accustomed to the handling characteristics of the vehicle with a pas­ senger before trying any difficult maneuvers.SAFETY INFORMATIONWhen you operate your Yamaha Water Vehicle, you must know and practice the following for your safety:• Before operating the water vehicle, readthis entire manual, the Riding Practice Tips, the Riding Instruction card and all warning labels on the vehicle. Reading these materials should give you an understanding of the vehicle and its operation.Never allow anyone to operate this water vehicle until they too have read this Owner's/Operator's Manual, the Riding Practice Tips, the Riding Instruc­ tion card and all warning labels.• This product emits exhaust gases which contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas which may cause brain damage or death when inhaled. Symp­ toms include nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness. Operate the vehicle in an open area.EJU00300LIMITATIONS ON WHO MAY OPERATE THE VEHICLE• This vehicle is recommended only foroperators 16 and older with a valid motor vehicle license.Even though a motor vehicle operator's license is not required for water vehicle operation in most states, it is one indi­ cator that the operator has previously demonstrated a reasonable degree of maturity, responsibility, and good judg­ ment.1-7]]></page><page Index="15" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[EJU00613CRUISING LIMITATIONS• Do not jump boat wakes or follow another boat or watercraft too closely. You increase your risk of colliding with another boat, which could result in severe injury or death. Do not jump waves, wakes, or any objects. You risk severe impact injuries. Jumping can also cause damage to the water vehicle.• Never ride in water that is less than 60 I cm ( 2 feet ) deep. You increase your chance of hitting an underwater obsta­cle. You could be injured.!• Do not operate water vehicle after sun­ set or before dawn. It is not equipped with lighting required for night opera­ tion. You risk collision with another boat which could cause injury or death.• Do not operate the vehicle in rough water, bad weather or when visibility is poor; this may lead to an accident caus­ ing injury or death. Be alert to the possi­ bility of adverse weather. Take note of weather forecasts and the prevailing weather conditions before setting out on your water vehicle.• As with any water sport, you should not ride your water vehicle without some­ one else near by. If you ride further than swimming distance from shore, you should be accompanied by another boat or watercraft. It's good, common sense!•The maximum performance potential of this watercra  is not suitable for all con­ ditions. Consider water conditions, weather, boat traffic and other potential obstacles, speed limits and other local laws, and your abilities before attempt­ ing to travel at higher speeds. Operate the watercraft no faster than justified by these conditions.1-860 cm (2 ft.)I---= ---2  ­]]></page><page Index="16" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[·EJU00616aOPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS• Operating your water vehicle requires skills acquired only through practice over a period of time. Take the time to learn the basic operating techniques well, before attempting more difficult maneuvers.• Both operator and a passenger must always wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (vest-type) because of the drowning hazards associated with water sports.E• Both operator and a passenger should wear water shoes to help protect feet from objects hidden under water. Wear­ ing gloves can also help protect hands from abrasions.• Wind, water, and glare from the sun may get in your eyes while you operate your water vehicle, reducing your abili­ ty to see. You may want to consider wearing eye protection such as sun­ glasses or goggles while riding. Some may find, however, that eye protection obstructs or distorts their vision, and distracts from operation. Only you know the circumstances in which you operate your water vehicle, so only you can decide if the benefits of eye protec­ tion outweigh the potential hazards.• If you wear prescription lenses, consid­ er measures to secure them against loss while riding. For example, some goggles are designed to be worn over glasses or contact lenses. Restraining straps for glasses are also made which are designed to float if your glasses should fall in the water.• Helmets meeting Snell or DOT stan­ dards are required for IJSBA-sanctioned races. You must decide whether to wear a helmet while you ride recre­ ationally. A helmet could help protect you in certain kinds of accidents. You should also know that a helmet could injure you in some other riding condi­ tions.A helmet is designed to provide some head protection. Although helmets can­ not protect against all foreseeable impacts, a helmet might reduce your injuries in a collision with a boat or other obstacle.-----------------------------KA001  U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flota- tion device  Wetsuit  Water shoes  Gloves@ Eye protection• Strong streams of water from the jetnozzle, or impact with the water surface can be dangerous. Both operator and a passenger must wear wetsuits. Normal swimming attire may not adequately protect you. A wetsuit will help protect against internal injuries to orifices (rec­ tum and vagina) from strong jet streams, and from impact with the water surface. Wetsuits also help pro­ tect against hypothermia (low body temperature) and abrasions.1-9]]></page><page Index="17" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[A helmet may have potential safety haz­ • For reasons of safety and proper care, Ialways perform the pre-operation checks on page 3-3 before riding.• The operator and a passenger should always keep both feet on the footrest floor when the vehicle is in motion. If you lift your feet, you increase your chances of losing your balance, and your feet could hit objects outside the water vehicle. Do not give a ride to a child whose feet cannot reach the footrest floor.The passenger should always firmly grasp the operator's waist.ard, as well. A helmet could catch the water during a fall into the water. This is commonly called "bucketing". The resulting strain on your neck could cause choking, severe and permanent neck injuries, or death. A helmet could also increase the risk of an accident if it reduces your vision or hearing, or if it distracts you or increases you fatigue. How should you decide if a helmet's potential safety benefits outweigh its potential risks for you? Consider your particular riding conditions. Consider factors such as your riding environment and your riding style and ability. Also consider the likelihood of traffic conges­ tion, and the water surface conditions. If you decide to wear a helmet based upon your riding circumstances, choose one carefully. Look for a helmet designed for personal watercraft use, if possible. Consider a helmet meeting Snell or DOT standards. if you will be engaging in closed-course competition, follow the helmet requirements of the sanctioning organization.• NEVER ride the vehicle after consuming alcohol or taking drugs.• If you are pregnant or in poor health, ask your doctor's advice on whether it is safe for you to ride this water vehicle.• Do not attempt to modify this water vehicle!Modifications to your machine may reduce safety and reliability, and may make the vehicle unsafe or illegal for use.• The operator should always attach the engine stop switch lanyard (cable) to his left wrist so that the engine will stop if the operator falls off.Be sure the lanyard is not wrapped around the handlebar or tangled in the controls which would prevent the lan­ yard from pulling away.KA0021-10]]></page><page Index="18" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[·E / -----------------------------• To prevent accidental starting of the engine, always remove the lock plate from the engine stop lanyard switch when the engine is not running.  Engine stop lanyard switch   Engine stop switch lanyard   Lock plate• Always watch carefully for swimmers.Stay away from swimming areas. Swimmers are hard to see and you could accidentally hit someone in the water.• Avoid being hit by another boat! You should always take the responsibility to watch for traffic, other boaters may not be watching for you. If they don't see you, or you maneuver more quickly than other boaters expect, you risk a collision.Maintain a safe distance from other boats or watercraft, and also watch for boat's ski ropes or fishing lines. Obey the "Rules of the Road" (see page 1- 14~1-17), and be sure to check behind you before making a turn.• This water vehicle is included in the Class A inboard boat classification of the U.S. Coast Guard. A water craft of this type MUST carry a fire extinguisher of a B-1 classification, with a capacity of two pounds or more when navigating in waters under Coast Guard jurisdic­ tion. In addition, most state and local boating laws also require that the carry a USCG-approved extinguisher wherev­ er it is operated.EJU00313HAZARD INFORMATION• When transporting or storing your water vehicle, always place the fuel cock in the "OFF" position. Otherwise, it is possible for gasoline to overflow from the carburetor.KA0031-11]]></page><page Index="19" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[EJU00314a • Keep hands, feet, hair, and all other Iparts of your body and clothing away from jet intake on the bo om of the hull while engine is running because they could be caught in the intake.Stop the engine and remove the lock plate from the engine stop lanyard switch before removing any debris or weeds which may have collected around the jet intake.Never insert any object in the jet pump outlet. Severe injury or death could result from coming in contact with the rotating parts of the jet pump.l_YWATER VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS• Jet thrust turns the water vehicle. If you are going faster than trolling speeds (the lowest maneuvering speed), you must use throttle to turn. If you release the throttle completely, you cannot turn-even if you turn the handlebars. Practice turning in an open area without obstructions until you have a good feel for this maneuver.• Yamaha Water Vehicles are water-jet propelled. The jet pump is directly con­ nected to the engine. This means that jet thrust will produce some vehicle movement whenever the engine is run­ ning. There is no "neutral" position.• Boats, including your water vehicle, do not have brakes. Release the throttle or stop the engine to slow down. Remem­ ber, however, that you have no steering control without throttle.1-12]]></page><page Index="20" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[EJU00319Your Yamaha water vehicle is legally con­ sidered a power boat. Operation of the water vehicle must be in accordance with the rules and regulations governing the waterway on which it is used.Just as there are rules which apply when you are driving on streets and highways, there are waterway rules which apply when you are riding your water vehicle. These rules are used internationally, and are also enforced by the United States Coast Guard and local agencies. You should be aware of these rules, and fol­ low them whenever you encounter anoth­ er vessel on the water.Several sets of rules prevail according to geographic location, but are all basically the same as the International Rules of the Road. The rules presented here in your Owner's Manual are condensed, and have been provided for your convenience only. Consult your local U.S. Coast Guard Aux­ iliary or Department of Motor Vehicles for a complete set of rules governing the waters in which you will be riding your water vehicle.t!1 ;JiiN  __________Do not operate water vehicle after sunset or before dawn. It is not equipped with lighting required for night operation. You risk collision with another boat which could cause injury or death.STEERING AND SAILING RULES AND SOUND SIGNALSWhenever two vessels on the water meet one another, ::me vessel has the right-of­ way; it is cafled the "stand-on" vessel. The vessel which does not have the right­ of-way is called the "give-way" or "bur­ dened" vessel. These rules determine which vessel has the right-of-way, and what each vessel should do.Stand-On VesselThe vessel with the right-of-way has the duty to continue its course and speed, except to avoid an immediate collision. When you maintain your direction and speed, the other vessel will be able to determine how best to avoid you.Give-Way VesselThe vessel which does not have the right­ of-way has the duty to take positive and timely action to stay out of the way of the Stand-On vessel. Normally, you should not cross in front of the vessel with the right-of-way. You should slow down or change directions briefly and pass behind the other vessel. You should always move in such a way that the operator of the other vessel can see what you are doing."The General Prudential Rule"This rule is called Rule 2 in the Interna­ tional Rules and says,'In obeying and construing these rules due regard shall be had to all dangers of navigation and collision, and to any spe­ cial circumstances, which may render a departure from the above rules necessary in order to avoid immediate danger.'RULES OF THE ROAD1-13]]></page><page Index="21" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[, Cf)-----------------------------In other words, follow the standard rules except when a collision will occur unless both vessels try to avoid each other. If that is the case, both vessels become"Give-Way" vessels.RULES WHEN ENCOUNTERING VESSELSThere are three main situations which you may encounter with other vessels which could lead to a collision unless the Steer­ ing Rules are followed:Meeting (you are approaching another vessel head-on)Crossing (you are traveling across the other vessel's path)Overtaking (you are passing or being passed by another vessel)Meeting I If you are meeting another power vesselhead on, and are close enough to run therisk of collision, neither of you has the right-of-way! Both of you should alter course to avoid an accident. You shouldkeep the other vessel on your port (left) side. This rule doesn't apply if both of you will clear one another if you continue on your set course and speed.CrossingWhen two power driven vessels are crossing each other's path close enough to run the risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on the starboard (right) side must keep out of the way of the other. If the other vessel is on your right, you must keep out of its way; you are the Give-Way vessel. If the other ves­ sel is on your port (left) side, remember that you should maintain course and direction, provided the other vessel gives you the right-of-way as it should.KA032In the following illustration, your water vehicle is in the center. You should give the right-of-way to any vessels shown in the white area (you are the Give-Way ves­ sel). Any vessels in the shaded area must yield to you (they are the Give-Way ves­ sels). Both you and the meeting vessel must alter course to avoid each other.KA0311-14]]></page><page Index="22" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[OvertakingIf you are passing another vessel, you are the "Give-Way" vessel. This means that the other vessel is expected to maintain its course and speed. You must stay out of its way until you are clear of it. Like­ wise, if another vessel is passing you, you should maintain your speed and direction so that the other vessel can steer itself around you.OTHER SPECIAL SITUATIONSThere are three other rules you should be aware of when riding your water vehicle around other vessels.Narrow Channels and BendsWhen navigating in narrow channels, you should keep to the right when it is safe and practical to do so. If the operator of a power-driven vessel is preparing to go around a bend that may obstruct the view of other water vessels, the operator should sound a prolonged blast on the whistle (4 to 6 seconds). If another vessel is around the bend, it too should sound the whistle. Even if no reply is heard, however, the vessel should still proceed around the bend with caution. If you navi­ gate such waters with your water vehicle, you will need to carry a portable air horn, available from local marine supply stores.Fishing Vessel Right-of-WayAll vessels which are fishing with nets, lines or trawls are considered to be "fish­ ing vessels" under the International Rules. Vessels with trolling lines are not considered fishing vessels. Fishing ves­ sels have the right-of-way regardless of position. Fishing vessels cannot, howev­ er, impede the passage of other vessels in narrow channels.Sailing Vessel Right-of-WaySailing vessels should normally be given the right-of-way. The exceptions to this are:1. When the sailing vessel is overtaking the power-driven vessel, the power­ driven vessel has the right-of-way.2. Sailing vessels should keep clear of any fishing vessel.3. In a narrow channel, a sailing vessel should not hamper the safe passage of a power-driven vessel which can navigate only in such a channel.Reading Buoys and Other MarkersThe waters of the United states are marked for safe navigation by the lateral system of buoyage. Simply put, buoys and markers have an arrangement of shapes, colors, numbers and lights to show which side of the buoy a boater should pass on when navigating in a par­ ticular direction. The markings on these buoys are oriented from the perspective of being entered from seaward (the boater is going towards the port). This means that red buoys are passed on the starboard (right) side when proceeding from open water into port, and black buoys are to port (left) side. When navi­ gating out of port, your position with respect to the buoys should be reversed; red buoys should be to port and black buoys to starboard.Many bodies of water used by boaters are entirely within the boundaries of a partic­ ular state. The Uniform State Waterway Marking System has been devised for these waters. This system uses buoys and signs with distinctive shapes and colorsE1-15]]></page><page Index="23" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[to show regulatory or advisory informa­ Remember, markings may vary by geo­ Igraphic location.

So your enjoyment includes a responsibility to treat these other people, and the lands, waters, and wildlife with respect and cou esy. Whenever and wherever you ride, think of yourself as the guest of those around you. Remember, for example, that the sound of your Water Vehicle may be music to you, but it could be just noise to others. And the exciting splash of your wake can make waves others wont enjoy. Avoid riding close to shoreline homes and waterfowl nesting areas or other wildlife areas, and keep a respect­ ful distance from fishermen, other boats, swimmers, and populated beach­ es. When travel in areas like these is unavoidable, ride slowly and obey all laws.• Remember that pollution can be harm­ ful to the environment. Do not refuel or add oil where a spill could cause dam­ age to nature. Remove your Water Vehicle from the water and move it away from the shoreline before refuel­ ing. And keep your surroundings pleas­ ant for the people and wildlife that share the waterways: do not 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.•1-17]]></page><page Index="25" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[EJU00323aFUEL REQUIREMENTSGASOUNE(PETROL)CAUTION: I Use only fresh gasoline (petrol) that hasbeen stored in clean containers.GasoholThere are two types of gasohol: gasohol containing ethanol and that containing methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if ethanol content does not exceed 10% and the fuel meets minimum octane ratings. Gasohol containing methanol is not recommended by Yamaha because it can cause fuel system damage or engine performance prob­ lems.EJU00324aENGINE OilRecommended oil: I YAMALUBE 2-WIf YAMALUBE 2-W is not available, anoth­ er 2-stroke engine oil with a NMMA-certi­ fied TC-W3 rating may be used.GASOLINE (PETROL) AND ITS VAPORS ARE HIGHLV FLAMMABLE AND EXPLO­ SIVE!• Do not smoke when refueling, andkeep away from sparks, flames, orother sources of ignition.• Stop engine before refueling.• Refuel in a well-ventilated area. Do notstand or sit on the water vehicle whilerefueling in case of fire.• Take care not to spill gasoline (petrol).If gasoline (petrol) spills, wipe it up immediately with dry rags. Always properly dispose of gasoline-soaked rags.• Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Stop fill­ ing when the fuel level just reaches the bottom of the filler tube. Do not fill up the filler tube because fuel expands as it warms up and could overflow.• Tighten the filler cap securely after refueling.• If you should swallow some gasoline (petrol), inhale a lot of gasoline (petrol) vapor, or get gasoline (petrol) in your eyes, get immediate medical attention.• If any gasoline (petrol) spills onto your skin, immediately wash with soap and water.

When the handlebars are turned, the angle of the jet (output) nozzle at the stern is changed, and the change in direction of the nozzle changes the direction of the vehicle accordingly. Therefore, because only the strength of the jet-flow output can determine the speed and direction of a turn, the throttle must always be opened above idle when attempting a turn, except at trolling speed.

Take the time to learn the basic techniques well before attempting more difficult maneuvers.Riding your new water vehicle can be a very enjoyable activity, providing you with hours of pleasure. But it is essential to familiarize yourself with the operation of the water vehicle to achieve the skill necessary to enjoy riding safely. Before you begin to ride be sure you have read this Owner's Manual completely and understand the operation of the controls. Pay particular attention to the safety infor­ mation on pages 1-8 to 1-13. Read all cau­ tion and warning labels on your water vehicle.Also read the Riding Practice Tips booklet supplied with your vehicle.Remember: Your water vehicle is designed for one operator and one pas­ senger only. Never have more than two people on the vehicle at any time.EJU00472LEARNING TO RIDE YOUR WATER VEHICLEBefore riding, always perform the Pre­ Operation Checks listed on page 3-3. The short time spent checking the machines condition will reward you with added safety and a more reliable water vehicle. Check state and local laws before operat­ ing your water vehicle. Read the Boat Handling Instructions issued by the U.S. Coast Guard for basic safe boating infor­ mation.Select a wide area to learn in, where visi­ bility is good and other boat traffic is light. Have someone in a boat accompany you if operating far from shore. Keep the proper distance from other boats and vehicles. Do not ride where people are swimming.Always attach the engine stop switch lan­ yard to your left wrist before operating. You must always wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved personal flotation device. Strong streams of water from the jet noz­ zle, or impact with the water surface can be dangerous. You must wear a wetsuit. Normal swimming attire may not ade­ quately protect you. A wetsuit will help protect against internal injuries to orifices (rectum and vagina) from strong jet streams, and from impact with the water surface. Wetsuits also help protect against hypothermia (low body tempera­ ture) and abrasions.You should wear water shoes to help pro­ tect feet from objects hidden under water. Wearing gloves can also help protect hands from abrasions.(E3-15]]></page><page Index="69" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Wind, water, and glare from the sun may get in your eyes while you operate your water vehicle, reducing your ability to see.

The condition of the spark-plug can indicate something about the condition of the engine. For example, if the centre elec­ trode porcelain is very white, this could indicate an intake air leak or carburetion problem in that cylinder. Do not attempt to diagnose any problems yourself. Instead, take the water vehicle to a Yamaha Water Vehicle dealer. You should periodically remove and inspect the spark-plug because heat and deposits will cause the spark-plug to slowly break down and erode. If electrode erosion becomes excessive, or if carbon and other deposits are excessive, you should replace the spark-plug with another of the correct type.1111 0KA006Before installing the spark-plug, measure the electrode gap with a wire thickness gauge; adjust the gap to specification if necessary.When fitting the plug, always clean the gasket surface and use a new gasket. Wipe off any dirt from the threads and screw in the spark-plug to the correct torque.Spark-plug torque:25 Nm (2.5 m•kg, 18 ft•lb)NOTE:------------­ Before installing the spark plug cap, be sure to wipe off any water on the spark plug or inside the cap. Push the spark plug cap down until it clicks.NOTE:-----------­ If a torque-wrench is not available when you are fitting a spark-plug, a good esti­ mate of the correct torque (with a new gasket) is 1/4 to 1/2 a turn past finger­ tight. Have the spark-plug adjusted to the correct torque as soon as possible with a torque wrench.When removing or installing a spark plug, be careful not to damage the insulator. A damaged insulator could allow external sparks, which could lead to explosion or fire.Standard spark BR-8HSSpark-plug gap:0.6~0.7 mm (0.024~0.028 in)4-15]]></page><page Index="97" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[EJU00553GREASING POINTS  To keep moving parts sliding or rotating smoothly, coat them with water resistant grease (Yamaha Marine Grease, YAMAHA grease A) or equivalent.
