Severe internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of falling into the water or being near the jet thrust nozzle. Normal swimwear does not adequately pro- tect against forceful water entry into the rec- tum or vagina. All riders must wear a wetsuit bottom or clothing that provides equivalent protection. Such clothing in- cludes thick, tightly woven, sturdy and snug-fitting apparel such as denim, but does not include spandex or similar fabrics, like those used in bicycle shorts.1 USCG approved PFD 2 Wetsuit bottomq Eye protection is recommended to keep wind, 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.q Helmets meeting Snell or DOT standards are required for IJSBA-sanctioned races. You must decide whether to wear a helmet while you ride for recreation. You should9]]></page><page Index="15" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[know that a helmet could help protect 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 collision 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 wa- ter, commonly known as “bucketing”, and the resulting strain on your neck could cause choking, severe and permanent neck injuries, or death. A helmet could also in- crease 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 poten- tial 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 likeli- hood of traffic congestion, and the water surface conditions. If you decide to wear a helmet based upon your riding circum- stances, 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 en- gaging in closed-course competition, follow the helmet requirements of the sanctioning organization.Safety informationq NEVER operate the watercraft after con- suming alcohol or taking other drugs.q Forreasonsofsafetyandpropercareofthe watercraft, always perform the pre-opera- tion checks listed on page 31 before operat- ing the watercraft.q Theoperatorshouldalwayskeepbothfeet or knees on the riding tray when the water- craft is in motion.

After riding, remove the engine shut- off cord from the watercraft to avoid acci- dental starting or unauthorized use by chil- dren or others.q Scan carefully for swimmers, and stay away from swimming areas. Swimmers are hard to see and you could accidentally hit someone in the water.q Avoidbeinghitbyanotherboat!Youshould 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 ma- neuver more quickly than other boaters ex- pect, 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 be- fore making a turn. (See “Rules of the Road” on page 14.)q AccordingtotheUSCG,boatsunder6.1m (20 ft) in length like your watercraft MUST carry a fire extinguisher of a B-1 classifica- tion, with a capacity of two pounds or more when navigating in waters under USCG ju- risdiction. In addition, most state and localboating laws also require that the fire extin- guisher be approved by the USCG.11]]></page><page Index="17" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Safety informationEJU30830 EJU30850Recommended 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 signal other boats. See “Rules of the Road” for more information.q VisualdistresssignalsIt is recommended that a U.S. Coast Guard approved pyrotechnic device be stored in a waterproof container on your watercraft. A mirror can also be used as an emergency signal. Contact a Yamaha dealer or the U.S. Coast Guard for more information.q WatchA watch is helpful so you will know how long you have been operating the watercraft.q TowlineA towline can be used to tow a disabled wa- tercraft in an emergency.Hazard informationq When transporting or storing your water- craft, always turn the fuel cock knob to “OFF”, otherwise gasoline may overflow from the carburetor.q Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a color- less, odorless gas that may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate the watercraft in an open area.12]]></page><page Index="18" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Safety informationEJU30880Watercraft 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. You may still have some turning ability im- mediately after releasing the throttle lever, but once the engine slows down, the water- craft will no longer respond to handlebar in- put until you apply throttle again or you reach trolling speed.Practice turning in an open area without ob- stacles 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 produce some movement whenever the engine is running. There is no “neutral” position.q Keep away from the intake grate while the engine is on. Items such as long hair, loose clothing, or PFD straps can become entan- gled in moving parts, resulting in severe in- jury or drowning.q Never insert any object into the jet thrust nozzle while the engine is running. Severe injury or death could result from coming incontact with the rotating parts of the jet pump.1 Intake grate2 Jet thrust nozzleq Stop the engine and remove the clip from the engine shut-off switch before removing any debris or weeds, which may have col- lected around the jet intake.1 Clip2 Engine shut-off switchq Avoidforcefuljetthrustandlimitedvisibility while reboarding.

Operation of the water- craft 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 oper- ating your watercraft. These rules are used in- ternationally, and are also enforced by the United States Coast Guard and local agen- cies. 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 geo- graphic location, but are all basically the same as the International Rules of the Road. The rules presented here in this owner’s/opera- tor’s manual are condensed, and have been provided for your convenience only. Consult your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or De- partment of Motor Vehicles for a complete set of rules governing the waters in which you will be operating your watercraft.Steering 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 main- tain your direction and speed, the other vessel will be able to determine how best to avoid you.Safety informationGive-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 al- ways 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 un- avoidable, neither boat has the right-of-way. Both boats must avoid the collision.In other words, follow the standard rules ex- cept 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 that you may encounter with other vessels which could lead to a collision unless the Steering Rules are fol- lowed: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 the14]]></page><page Index="20" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Safety informationgive-way vessels). Both you and the meeting vessel must alter course to avoid each other.provided the other vessel gives you the right- of-way as it should.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 pro- longed 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 re- ply is heard, however, the vessel should still proceed around the bend with caution. If you navigate such waters with your watercraft, you will need to carry a portable air horn, available from local marine supply stores.MeetingIf you are meeting another power-driven ves- sel 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 ap- ply 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,15]]></page><page Index="21" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[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 vessels. Fish- ing vessels have the right-of-way regardless of position. Fishing vessels cannot, however, impede the passage of other vessels in nar- row channels.Sailing vessel right-of-waySailing vessels should normally be given the right-of-way. The exceptions to this are:(1) Whenthesailingvesselisovertakingthepower-driven vessel, the power-drivenvessel has the right-of-way.(2) Sailingvesselsshouldkeepclearofanyfishing 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, num- bers, and lights to show which side of the buoy a boater should pass on when navigat- ing 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 starboard (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 navigating out of the harbor, your posi- tion with respect to the buoys should be re- versed; red buoys should be to port and black buoys to starboard.Safety informationMany bodies of water used by boaters are en- tirely within the boundaries of a particular state. The Uniform State Waterway Marking System has been devised for these waters. This system uses buoys and signs with dis- tinctive shapes and colors to show regulatory or advisory information. These markers are white with black letters and orange borders.16]]></page><page Index="22" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Safety informationThey signify speed zones, restricted areas, danger areas, and general information.Remember, markings may vary by geograph- ic location. Always consult local boating au- thorities before riding your watercraft in unfamiliar waters.17]]></page><page Index="23" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Safety informationEJU30980To get more boating safetyinformationBe informed about boating safety.

So your enjoyment includes a responsibility to treat these other people, and the lands, wa- ters, and wildlife with respect and courtesy. Whenever and wherever you ride, think of yourself as the guest of those around you. Re- member, for example, that the sound of your watercraft may be music to you, but it could be just noise to others. And the exciting splash of your wake can make waves others won’t en- joy.Avoid riding close to shoreline homes and wa- terfowl nesting areas or other wildlife areas, and keep a respectful distance from fisher- men, other boats, swimmers, and populated beaches. When travel in areas like these is unavoidable, 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 regu- lated limits. You have the responsibility to make sure that the recommended mainte- nance in this owner’s/operator’s manual is carried out.Remember, 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 refueling. And keep your surroundings pleasant for the peo- ple 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 enjoyment of a variety of recreational opportunities.19]]></page><page Index="25" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Features and functionsEJU310101 Bow rope hole 2 Storage pouch 3 Steering pole 4 Handlebars5 Riding tray6 Stern rope hole7 Fuel tank filler cap 8 Hood9 Steering pole cover10 Hood latch11 Jet thrust nozzle12 Cooling water pilot outlet 13 Intake grate14 Jet intake15 Ride plate16 Drive shaftLocation of main components20]]></page><page Index="26" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Features and functions1 Fire extinguisher container 2 Fuel cock knob3 Choke knob4 Clip5 Start switch6 Throttle lever7 Engine shut-off switch8 Engine stop switch9 Engine shut-off cord (lanyard)10 Bow11 Fuel tank12 Battery13 Silencer14 Spark plugs/Spark plug caps 15 Muffler16 Water separator17 Fuel filter18 Electrical box21]]></page><page Index="27" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[EJU31020Operation of controls and other functionsEJU31050HoodThe hood is secured at the rear by a latch.

(If the engine does not start, see “Towing the water- craft” on page 70 or “Submerged water- craft” on page 71.)NOTE:q To efficiently discharge water from the en- gine compartment, operate the watercraft as straight as possible and above planing speed for at least 2 minutes.q To stabilize the watercraft when accelerat- ing to planing speed, maintain a low center of gravity by operating it in the kneeling po- sition.EJU33240Turning the watercraftSteering control depends on the combination of handlebar position and the amount of throt- tle.Water sucked in through the intake grate is pressurized by the impeller in the jet pump. 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 pro- duced.The amount of jet thrust, in addition to the po- sition of the handlebars, determines howsharply you turn.A. More throttle produces higher thrust, sothe watercraft will turn more sharply.45]]></page><page Index="51" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[B. Less throttle produces lower thrust, so the 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 ap- ply throttle again or you reach trolling speed.At trolling speed, the watercraft can be turned gradually by handlebar position alone using just the amount of thrust available at idle.OperationD. If the engine is stopped while riding, there is no thrust. The watercraft will go straight even though the handlebars are turned.You need throttle to steer.To maintain your balance, lean into a turn. How much you lean depends on the sharp- ness of the turn and your traveling speed. In general, the higher the speed or the sharper the turn, the more you lean.46]]></page><page Index="52" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[OperationEWJ00760Do not release the throttle lever when try- ing to steer away from objects—you need throttle to steer. A collision could result in severe injury or death.EJU33270Stopping the watercraftThe watercraft is not equipped with a sepa- rate braking system. It is stopped by water re- sistance when the throttle lever is released. From full speed, the watercraft comes to a complete stop in approximately 90 m (300 ft) after the throttle lever is released or the en- gine is stopped, although this distance will vary depending on many factors, including gross weight, water surface conditions, and wind direction.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 ob- stacle, apply throttle and turn in another direc- tion.EWJ00720q Allowadequatestoppingdistance.q Take early action to avoid collisions. Re- member, watercraft and other boats donot have brakes.q Operate defensively at safe speeds and keep a safe distance away from people, objects, and other watercraft to give you time to stop.q Do not shut the engine off when slowing down in case you need engine power to steer away from a boat or other obstacle that comes into your path.EJU33300Beaching the watercraft(1) Make sure that there are no boats, swim- mers, or obstacles near the beach. Re- lease the throttle lever about 90 m (300 ft) before you reach the intended beaching area.(2) Approach the beach slowly and stop the engine before reaching land. Remember, you need throttle to steer.(3) Get off the watercraft and pull it up on thebeach. ECJ00490CAUTION:Small pebbles, sand, seaweed, and other debris can be sucked into the jet intake and impair or damage the impeller. Always stop the engine and get off the watercraft before beaching it.EJU33330Rough water operationThe force of landing after jumping can cause a strong impact on both the watercraft and the operator. It is possible for the operator to hit his or her chest or jaw on the watercraft or handlebars and be injured.Do not operate the watercraft with your chin right above the handlebars or with your feet outside the watercraft.Operating in rough water or jumping waves can also crack the watercraft hull and damage internal parts.

If this condition is allowed to continue, the engine will overheat and may seize. If there is any sign that the jet intake or impeller is clogged with weeds or debris, return to shore and check the intake and impeller. Al- ways stop the engine before beaching the wa- tercraft.EWJ00780Before attempting to remove weeds or de- bris from the jet intake or impeller area, shut the engine off and remove the clip from the engine shut-off switch.

If travel- ing in weeded areas is unavoidable, oper- ate the engine alternately at partial throttle and full throttle. Weeds tend to accumu- late more at a steady speed and at trolling speed. If weeds clog the jet intake or im- peller area and cause cavitation, follow the cleaning procedure above.EJU34640Jumping the batteryIf the watercraft battery has run down, the en-gine can be started using a 12-volt boosterbattery and jumper cables. EWJ00790Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dan- gerous, causing severe burns, etc. Elec- trolyte contains sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. AntidotesExternal: Flush with water.Internal: Drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beatenegg, or vegetable oil. Call a physician im- mediately.Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention.Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc., well away.
