Every operator should know the following requirements before riding the watercraft.q Before operating the watercraft, read the Owner’s/Operator’s Manual, the Riding Practice Guide, the Riding Instruction card and all warning and caution labels on the watercraft. Also, watch the Basic Orientation Video provided with your watercraft. These materials should give you an understanding of the watercraft and its operation.q Never allow anyone to operate this water- craft until they too have read the Owner’s/ Operator’s Manual, the Riding Practice Guide, the Riding Instruction card and all warning and caution labels, and if possi- ble watched the Basic Orientation Video. Showing them the video may help rein- force the information contained in these materials.EEJU11770EJU11780Limitations on who may operate the watercraftq Yamaha recommends a minimum opera-tor age of 16 years old.Adults must supervise use by minors. Know the operator age and training requirements for your state. A boating safety course is recommended and may be required in your state. You can find local rules by contacting the United States Coast Guard (USCG), the National Association of State Boating Law Admin- istrators, or your local Power Squadron.q This watercraft is designed to carry the operator and one passenger. Never exceed the maximum load limit or allow more than 2 persons to ride the watercraft at one time.q Do not operate the watercraft with a pas- senger on board until you have consider- able practice and experience riding alone. Operating the watercraft with a passenger requires more skill. Take the time to become accustomed to the handling characteristics of the watercraft before trying any difficult maneuvers.1-10Maximum load: 160 kg (353 lb) Load is the total weight of cargo, operator and passenger.]]></page><page Index="16" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[EJU10011Cruising limitationsq Scan constantly for people, objects, and other watercraft. Be alert for conditions that limit your visibility or block your vision of others.q Operate defensively at safe speeds and keep a safe distance away from people, objects, and other watercraft.q Do not follow directly behind watercraft or other boats.q Do not go near others to spray or splash them with water.q Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that make it hard for others to avoid you or understand where you are going.q Avoid areas with submerged objects or shallow water.q Take early action to avoid collisions. Remember, watercraft and other boats do not have brakes.q Do not release the throttle when trying to steer away from objects—you need throt- tle to steer. Always check throttle and steering controls before starting the watercraft.q Ride within your limits and avoid aggres- sive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss of control, ejection, and collision.q This is a high performance boat—not a toy. Sharp turns or jumping wakes or waves can increase the risk of back/spinal injury (paralysis), facial injuries, and bro- ken legs, ankles and other bones. Do not jump wakes or waves.q Do not operate the watercraft 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 watercraft.q As with any water sport, you should not operate your watercraft without someone else nearby. If you operate further than swimming distance from shore, you should be accompanied by another boat or watercraft, but make sure you stay a safe distance away. It’s good, common sense!q Never operate in water that is less than 60 cm (2 ft) deep, otherwise you increase your chance of hitting a submerged object, which could result in injury.E1-11]]></page><page Index="17" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[EEJU11791Operation requirementsq This watercraft is not equipped with light- ing required for night operation. Do not operate the watercraft after sunset or before dawn, otherwise you increase the risk of colliding with another boat, which could result in severe injury or death.q Follow navigation rules, and state/provin- cial and local laws that apply to water- craft.qqAll riders must wear a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) approved personal flotation device (PFD) that is suitable for personal watercraft use.Wear protective clothing. Severe internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of falling into water or being near the jet thrust nozzle. Normal swimwear does not adequately protect against forceful water entry into the rectum or vagina. All riders must wear a wetsuit bottom or clothing that provides equivalent protection. Such clothing includes thick, tightly woven, sturdy and snug-fitting apparel such as denim, but does not include spandex or similar fab- rics, like those used in bicycle shorts.1-121 USCG approved PFD2 Wetsuit bottomq Eye protection is recommended to keepwind, water, and glare from the sun out of your eyes while you operate your water- craft. Restraining straps for eyewear are made which are designed to float should your eyewear fall in the water.Footwear and gloves are recommended.]]></page><page Index="18" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[q Helmets meeting Snell or DOT standards are required for IJSBA-sanctioned races. You must decide whether to wear a hel- met while you ride for recreation. You should know that a helmet could help pro- tect you in certain kinds of accidents and that it could injure you in others.A helmet is designed to provide some head protection. Although helmets cannot protect against all foreseeable impacts, a helmet might reduce your injuries in a col- lision with a boat or other obstacle.A helmet may have potential safety haz- ards, as well. Falling into the water could risk the chance of the helmet catching water, commonly known as “bucketing,” and the resulting strain on your neck could cause choking, severe and perma- nent 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 your fatigue. How should you decide if a helmet’s potential safety benefits outweigh its potential risks for you? Consider your par- ticular riding conditions. Consider factors such as your riding environment and your riding style and ability. Also consider the likelihood of traffic congestion, and the water surface conditions. If you decide to wear a helmet based upon your riding cir- cumstances, choose one carefully. Look for a helmet designed for personal water- craft use, if possible. Consider a helmet meeting Snell or DOT standards. If you will be engaging in closed-course compe- tition, follow the helmet requirements of the sanctioning organization.q NEVER operate the watercraft after con- suming alcohol or taking other drugs.q For reasons of safety and proper care of the watercraft, always perform the pre- operation checks listed on page 3-6 before operating the watercraft.q The operator and passenger should always keep both feet in the footwell when the watercraft is in motion. Lifting your feet increases the chances of losing your balance, or hitting objects outside the watercraft with your feet. Do not give a ride to a child whose feet cannot reach the floor of the footwell.q Passenger should firmly hold on to the operator.q Neverallowapassengertorideinfrontof the operator.q Always consult your doctor on whether it is safe for you to ride this watercraft if you are pregnant or in poor health.E1-13]]></page><page Index="19" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[q Do not attempt to modify this watercraft! Modifications to your watercraft may reduce safety and reliability, and render the watercraft unsafe or illegal for use.q According to the USCG, boats under 6.1 m (20 ft) in length like your watercraft MUST carry a fire extinguisher of a B-1 classification, with a capacity of two pounds or more when navigating in waters under USCG jurisdiction. In addi- tion, most state and local boating laws also require that the fire extinguisher be approved by the USCG.Eq Attach the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) to your wrist and keep it free from the handlebars so that the engine stops if the operator falls off. After riding, remove the engine shut-off cord from the watercraft to avoid accidental starting or unauthorized use by children or others.q Scan carefully for swimmers and stay away from swimming areas. Swimmers are hard to see and you could acciden- tally hit someone in the water.q 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 do not see you, or if you maneuver more quickly than other boaters expect, you risk a collision.q Maintain a safe distance from other boats and watercraft, and also watch for ski ropes or fishing lines. Obey the “Rules of the Road,” and be sure to check behind you before making a turn. (See Rules of the Road on pages 1-17 to 1-20.)1-14]]></page><page Index="20" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[EJU13810Recommended equipmentThe following items should be carried on board your watercraft:q Sound-signaling deviceYou should carry a whistle or other sound- signaling device that can be used to sig- nal other boats. See Rules of the Road for more information.q Visual distress signalsIt is recommended that a USCG approved pyrotechnic device be stored in a water- proof container on your watercraft. A mir- ror can also be used as an emergency signal. Contact your Yamaha dealer or the Coast Guard for more information.q WatchA watch is helpful so you will know how long you have been operating.q TowlineA towline can be used to tow a disabled watercraft in an emergency.EJU20020Hazard informationq Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate the watercraft in an open area.q Do not start engine on land until everyone is away from stern. Hot water and steam spurting from exhaust outlet can cause serious burns.q Hot muffler surfaces can cause serious burns. Do not touch any muffler surface during or after engine operation. Catalytic converter gets hotter after engine stops.1-15E]]></page><page Index="21" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[EEJU20030Watercraft characteristicsq Jet thrust turns the watercraft. Releasing the throttle lever completely produces only minimum thrust. If you are traveling at speeds above trolling, you will have rapidly decreasing ability to steer without throttle. This model has the Yamaha Engine Management System (YEMS) that includes an Off-Throttle Steering (OTS) system. It will activate at planing speeds should you attempt to steer the watercraft after releasing the throttle lever. The OTS system assists in turning by continuing to supply some thrust while the watercraft is decelerating, but you can turn more sharply if you apply throttle while turning the handlebars. The OTS system does not function below planing speeds or when the engine is off. Once the engine slows down, the watercraft will no longer turn in response to handlebar input until you apply throttle again or you reach trolling speed. Practice turning in an open area without obstructions until you have a good feel for this maneuver.q This watercraft is water-jet propelled. The jet pump is directly connected to the engine. This means that jet thrust will pro- duce some movement whenever the engine is running. There is no “neutral” position.q Keep away from the intake grate 1 while the engine is on. Items such as long hair, loose clothing, or PFD straps can become entangled in moving parts resulting in severe injury or drowning.q Never insert any object into the jet thrust nozzle 2 while the engine is running. Severe injury or death could result from coming in contact with the rotating parts of the jet pump.q Stop the engine and remove the clip 3 from the engine shut-off switch 4 before removing any debris or weeds, which may have collected around the jet intake.1-16]]></page><page Index="22" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Rules of the RoadYamaha watercraft is legally consid- ered a powerboat. Operation of the watercraft must be in accordance with the rules and regulations governing the waterway on which it is used.Just as there are rules that apply when you are driving on streets and highways, there are waterway rules that apply when you are operating your watercraft. 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 follow them whenever you encounter another 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 this Owner’s/Operator’s Manual are condensed, and have been provided for your conve- nience only. Consult your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or Department of Motor Vehicles for a complete set of rules govern- ing the waters in which you will be operating your watercraft.1-17EEJU11800Steering and sailing rulesWhenever two vessels on the water meet one another, one vessel has the right-of- way; it is called the “stand-on” vessel. The vessel that does not have the right-of-way is called the “give-way” or “burdened” 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 deter- mine how best to avoid you.Give-wayvesselThe 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 direc- tions briefly and pass behind the other ves- sel. 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 regarding the right-of-way is that if a collision appears unavoidable, neither boat has the right-of- way. Both boats must avoid the collision.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.]]></page><page Index="23" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[ERules when encountering vesselsThere are three main situations that you may encounter with other vessels which could lead to a collision unless the Steering Rules are followed:Meeting: you are approaching another vessel head-onCrossing: you are traveling across another vessel’s pathOvertaking: you are passing or being passed by another vesselIn the following illustration, your watercraft is in the center. You should give the right-of- way to any vessels shown in the white area (you are the give-way vessel). Any vessels in the shaded area must yield to you (they are the give-way vessels). Both you and the meeting vessel must alter course to avoid each other.MeetingIf you are meeting another power vessel head on, and are close enough to run the risk of collision, neither of you has the right- of-way! Both of you should alter course to avoid an accident. You should keep the other vessel on your port (left) side. This rule does not 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 starboard (right) side, you must keep out of its way; you are the give- way vessel. If the other vessel 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.1-18]]></page><page Index="24" 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. Likewise, 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 watercraft 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 of four to six seconds on the whistle. 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 navigate such waters with your water- craft, you will need to carry a portable air horn, available from local marine supply stores.Fishing vessel right-of-wayAll vessels fishing with nets, lines or trawls are considered to be “fishing vessels” under the International Rules. Vessels with trolling lines are not considered fishing ves- sels. Fishing vessels have the right-of-way regardless of position. Fishing vessels can- not, however, 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 thepower-driven vessel, the power-drivenvessel has the right-of-way.2. Sailing vessels should keep clear of anyfishing vessel.3. In a narrow channel, a sailing vesselshould not hamper the safe passage of a power-driven vessel that 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 particular direction. The markings on these buoys are oriented from the perspective of being entered from seaward (the boater is going towards the harbor). Red buoys are passed on your star- board (right) side when proceeding from open water into the harbor, and black buoys are to your port (left) side. An easy way to remember the meaning of the colors is the phrase “red right returning.” When navigat- ing out of the harbor, 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 particular state. The Uniform State Waterway Marking System has been devised for these waters.1-19E]]></page><page Index="25" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[EThis system uses buoys and signs with distinctive shapes and colors to show regu- latory or advisory information. These mark- ers are white with black letters and orange borders. They signify speed zones, restricted areas, danger areas, and general information.Remember, markings may vary by geo- graphic location. Always consult local boat- ing authorities before riding your watercraft in unfamiliar waters.1-20]]></page><page Index="26" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[EEJU11810To get more boating safety informationBe informed about boating safety.

So your enjoyment includes a responsibility to treat these other people, and the lands, waters, and wildlife with respect and courtesy.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 excit- ing splash of your wake can make waves others won’t enjoy. Avoid riding close to shoreline homes and waterfowl nesting areas or other wildlife areas, and keep a respectful distance from fishermen, other boats, swimmers, and populated beaches. When travel in areas like these is unavoid- able, 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 regulated limits. You have the respon- sibility to make sure that the recommended maintenance in this Owner’s/Operator’s Manual is carried out.Remember that 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 refu- eling. 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 enjoy- ment of a variety of recreational opportuni- ties.1-22]]></page><page Index="28" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[EJU10070FEATURES AND FUNCTIONSLocation of main components

Since the strength of the jet thrust determines the speed and degree of a turn, throttle must always be applied when attempting a turn, except at trolling speed.This model has the Yamaha Engine Man- agement System (YEMS) that includes an Off-Throttle Steering (OTS) system. It will activate at planing speeds should you attempt to steer the watercraft after releas- ing the throttle lever. The OTS system assists in turning by continuing to supply some thrust while the watercraft is deceler- ating, but you can turn more sharply if you apply throttle while turning the handlebars. The OTS system does not function below planing speeds or when the engine is off. Once the engine slows down, the watercraft will no longer turn in response to handlebar input until you apply throttle again or you reach trolling speed.2-9]]></page><page Index="38" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[EEJU10220Quick Shift Trim System (QSTS) selectorThe 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.

Take the time to learn the basic tech- niques well before attempting more difficult maneuvers.Operating your new watercraft can be a very enjoyable activity, providing you with hours of pleasure. However, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the operation of the watercraft to achieve the skill level neces- sary to enjoy riding safely. Before operating this watercraft, read this Owner’s/Operator’s Manual, the Riding Practice Guide, the Riding Instruction card and all warning and caution labels on the watercraft. Pay particu- lar attention to the safety information on pages 1-10 to 1-16. Also, watch the Basic Orientation Video provided with your water- craft. These materials should give you an understanding of the watercraft and its oper- ation.Remember: This watercraft is designed to carry the operator and one passenger. Never exceed the maximum load limit or allow more than 2 persons to ride the water- craft at one time.EJU11910Learning to operate your watercraftBefore operating the watercraft, always perform the pre-operation checks listed on page 3-6. The short time spent checking the watercraft will reward you with added safety and reliability.Check state and local laws before operat- ing your watercraft.Operate defensively at safe speeds and keep a safe distance away from people, objects, and other watercraft. Select a wide area to learn in, where you have good visi- bility and light boat traffic.Use the buddy system—operate with someone nearby. Scan constantly for peo- ple, objects, and other watercraft. Be alert for conditions that limit your visibility or block your vision of others.Attach the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) to your wrist and keep it free from the han- dlebars so that the engine stops if the opera- tor falls off.Wear a personal flotation device (PFD).

As the pressurized water is expelled from the pump through the jet thrust nozzle, it creates thrust to move and steer the watercraft. The higher the engine speed, the more thrust produced.The amount of jet thrust, in addition to the position of the handlebars, determines how sharply you turn.A. More throttle produces higher thrust, sothe watercraft will turn more sharply.B. Less throttle produces lower thrust, sothe watercraft will turn more gradually.C. Releasing the throttle lever completely produces only minimum thrust. If you are traveling at speeds above trolling, you will have rapidly decreasing ability to steer without throttle. You may still have some turning ability immediately after releasing the throttle lever, but once the engine slows down, the watercraft will no longer respond to handlebar input until you apply throttle again or you reachtrolling speed.At trolling speed, the watercraft can be turned gradually by handlebar position alone using just the amount of thrust available at idle.D.

A collision could result in severe injury or death.q When operating at higher speeds, make gradual turns or slow down before turning. Sharp high-speed turns may cause the watercraft to slide side- ways or spin, throwing the operator and passengers overboard which could cause an injury.@This model has the Yamaha Engine Man- agement System (YEMS) that includes an Off-Throttle Steering (OTS) system. It will activate at planing speeds should you attempt to steer the watercraft after releas- ing the throttle lever (see condition C above). The OTS system assists in turning by continuing to supply some thrust while the watercraft is decelerating, but you can turn more sharply if you apply throttle while turning the handlebars. The OTS system does not function below planing speeds or when the engine is off. Once the engine slows down, the watercraft will no longer turn in response to handlebar input until you apply throttle again or you reach trolling speed.3-30]]></page><page Index="81" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[EJU10800Stopping the watercraftThe watercraft is not equipped with a sep- arate braking system.

The con- dition of the spark plug can indicate some- thing about the condition of the engine. For example, if the center electrode 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. Have a Yamaha dealer service the watercraft.Remove and inspect the spark plugs peri- odically; heat and deposits will cause the spark plugs to slowly break down and erode. If electrode erosion becomes excessive, or if carbon and other deposits are excessive, replace the spark plug with the specified plug.Measure the spark plug gap a with a wire thickness gauge. Replace the spark plugs or adjust the gap to specification if necessary.To install the spark plug:1. Clean the gasket surface.2. Wipe any dirt from the threads of thespark plug.3. Install the spark plug, and then tighten itto the specified torque.4. Install the spark plug cap.Standard spark plug: BR8ES-114-14Spark plug gap:1.0–1.1 mm (0.039–0.043 in)Spark plug tightening torque: 25 N·m (2.5 kgf·m, 18 ft·lb)]]></page><page Index="101" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[NOTE: @q Wipe off any water on the spark plug or inside the cap before installing the spark plug cap.
