                         Scan carefully for swimmers and stay away
                          from swimming areas. Swimmers are hard
                          to see and you could accidentally hit some-
                          one 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 do not see you, or
                          if you maneuver more quickly than other
                          boaters expect, you risk a collision.
                         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 or slowing down. (See
                          “Rules of the Road” on page 19.)
                         According to the USCG, boats under 6.1 m
                          (20 ft)  in length like your watercraft must

                          USCG jurisdiction. In addition, most state
                          and local boating laws also require that the
                          fire extinguisher be approved by the US-

                        Reading buoys and other markers
                        The 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 perspec-
                        tive of being entered from seaward (the boat-
                        er 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 return-
                        ing”. When navigating 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.

                            water separator.
                        (2) Gradually loosen the drain screw to drain
                            the water. Catch the draining water in the
                            drain pan or soak it up with the dry cloth
                            so that it does not spill into the engine
                            compartment. If any water spills into the
                            watercraft, be sure to wipe it up with a
                            dry cloth.
                        (3) Securely tighten the drain screw until it
                            stops.

                        Failure to perform the engine break-in
                        could result in reduced engine life or even
                        severe engine damage.
                        The engine break-in is essential to allow the
                        various components of the engine to  wear
                        and polish themselves to the correct operat-

                        mance and promotes longer component life.
                        To perform the engine break-in:
                        (1) Check the engine oil level. (See page 63
                            for information on checking  the  engine

                            starting the engine.)
                        (3) For the first 5 minutes, operate with the
                            engine speed at 2000 r/min.

                        bris  from the jet intake or  impeller area,
                        shut the engine off and  remove  the  clip
                        from the engine shut-off switch. Severe in-

                        If weeds or debris gets caught in the jet intake
                        or impeller, cavitation can occur, causing jet
                        thrust to decrease even though engine speed
                        rises. If this condition is allowed to continue,
                        the  engine will overheat and  may  seize.

                                                   Limited warranty
                         YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, U.S.A.
                                     ®
                         WAVERUNNER  WATERCRAFT LIMITED WARRANTY
                        Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. hereby warrants that new Yamaha WaveRunner watercraft purchased from an authorized Yamaha
                        WaveRunner Watercraft Dealer in the United States (excluding its territories) will be free from defects in material and workmanship for
                        the period of time stated herein, subject to certain stated limitations.
                        PERIOD OF WARRANTY. Any new Yamaha WaveRunner watercraft purchased for pleasure use will be warranted for a period of one

                        commercial applications will be warranted for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of purchase, subject to exclusions noted herein.
                        The battery will be warranted against defects in material or workmanship for thirty (30) days from the date of vehicle purchase for either
                        pleasure or commercial use. Replacement parts used in warranty repairs will be warranted for the balance of the applicable warranty
                        period.
                        OBTAINING REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY. During the period of warranty, any authorized Yamaha WaveRunner Watercraft Dealer
                        will, free of charge, repair or replace, at Yamaha’s option, any part adjudged defective by Yamaha due to faulty workmanship or material
                        from the factory. All parts replaced under warranty will become the property of Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A.
                        THE CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY under this warranty shall be to:
                        1. Operate, maintain, and store the WaveRunner watercraft as specified in the appropriate Owner’s/Operator’s Manual, and
                        2. Give notice to an authorized Yamaha WaveRunner watercraft dealer of any and all apparent defects within ten (10) days after
                          discovery, and make the machine available at that time for inspection and repairs at such dealer’s place of business.
                        GENERAL EXCLUSIONS from this warranty shall include any failures caused by:
                        a. Racing or competition use, modification of original parts, abnormal strain.
                        b. Lack of proper maintenance and off-season storage as described in the Owner’s/Operator’s Manual.
                        c. Installation of parts or accessories that are not equivalent in design and quality to genuine Yamaha parts.
                        d. Use of lubricants, oils, and fuels that are not suitable for WaveRunner watercraft use.
                        e. Damage as a result of accidents, collisions, contact with foreign materials, or submersion.
                        f. Growth of marine organism on motor or hull surfaces.

                        SPECIFIC PARTS EXCLUDED FROM WARRANTY. Parts replaced due to normal wear or routine maintenance such as oil, spark
                        plugs, fuel filters, impeller and liner, and anodes are not covered by warranty. Charges for transporting the WaveRunner watercraft to
                        and from an authorized Yamaha WaveRunner Watercraft Dealer are excluded from warranty coverage.
                        EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY.
                        Yamaha warrants to the ultimate purchaser and any subsequent owner, that the exhaust emission control components on this engine
                        are designed, built and equipped so as to conform at the time of sale with applicable regulations under section 213 of the Clean Air Act
                        and that this engine is free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause said engine to fail to conform with applicable
                        regulations for 30 months from the date of purchase or 175 hours of operation, whichever comes first. For evaporative emission
                        components, for a failure that will increase evaporative emissions, the warranty coverage is 2 years from the date of purchase. Some
                        states may have different emission control warranty provisions. As these vary from state to state, consult your Yamaha dealer or contact
                        Yamaha Customer Relations at 1-800-962-7926 for more information.
                        WARRANTY TRANSFER: To transfer the warranty from the original purchaser to any subsequent purchaser(s), it is imperative that the
                        WaveRunner watercraft be inspected and registered for warranty by an authorized Yamaha WaveRunner watercraft dealer. In order for
                        this warranty to remain in effect, this inspection and registration must take place within ten (10) days after transfer of ownership to the
                        subsequent purchaser. A reasonable dealer-imposed fee may be charged for this inspection.
                        YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, U.S.A. MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. ALL
                        IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WHICH EXCEED THE

                        THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO
                        STATE.

                        WARRANTY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
                        Q. What costs are my responsibility during the warranty period?
                        A. The customer’s responsibility includes all costs of normal maintenance services, non-warranty repairs, accident and collision dam-
                          ages.
                        Q. What are some examples of “abnormal” strain, neglect, or abuse?
                        A. These terms are general and overlap each other in areas. Specific examples include:
                          Running the watercraft out of oil, operating the machine with a broken or damaged part which causes another part to fail, and so
                          on. If you have any specific questions on operation or maintenance, please contact your Yamaha dealer for advice.
                        Q. Does the warranty cover incidental costs such as transportation due to a failure?
                        A. No. The warranty is limited to repair of the watercraft itself.
                        Q. May I perform any or all of the recommended maintenance shown in the Owner’s/Operator’s Manual instead of having the dealer do
                          them?
                        A. Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow the procedures specified in the Owner’s/Operator’s and Service Manual. We do rec-
                          ommend, however, that items requiring special or equipment be done by a Yamaha dealer.
                        Q. Will the warranty be void or cancelled if I do not operate or maintain my new watercraft exactly as specified in the Owner’s/Opera-
                          tor’s Manual?
                        A. No. The warranty on a new watercraft cannot be “voided” or “cancelled”. However, if a particular failure is caused by operation
                          or maintenance other than as shown in the Owner’s/Operator’s Manual, that failure may not be covered under warranty.
                        Q. What responsibility does my dealer have under this warranty?
                        A. Each Yamaha dealer is expected to:
                          1.  Completely set up each new watercraft before sale.
                          2.  Explain the operation, maintenance, and warranty requirements to your satisfaction at the time of sale, and upon your request at
                             any later date. In addition, each Yamaha dealer is held responsible for his setup, service and warranty repair work.
                        Q. Is the warranty transferable to second owners?
                        A. Yes. The remainder of the existing warranty can be transferred upon request. The unit has to be inspected and re-registered by an
                          authorized Yamaha dealer for the policy to remain effective.
                        CUSTOMER SERVICE
                        If your watercraft requires warranty service, you must take it to any authorized Yamaha dealer within the continental United States. Be
                        sure to bring your warranty registration card or other valid proof of the original date of purchase. If a question or problem arises regard-
                        ing warranty, first contact the owner of the dealership. Since all warranty matters are handled at the dealer level, this person is in the

                        the selling dealer at the time of your purchase.

                                       YAMAHA EXTENDED SERVICE (Y.E.S.)

                        Keep your Yamaha protected even after your warranty expires with genuine Yamaha Extended
                        Service (Y.E.S.).
                        • Y.E.S. is designed and administered by Yamaha Motor Corporation to provide maximum owner
                          satisfaction. You get uninterrupted factory-backed coverage for extra peace of mind.

                        • Y.E.S. is flexible. You choose the plan that is right for you: 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, or
                          (on four-stroke models) 48 months beyond your warranty period.
                        • Y.E.S. is designed and administered by the same Yamaha people who handle your warranty—
                          and it shows in the comprehensive coverage benefits. There are no mileage limitations. Cover-
                          age is not limited to “moving parts” or the “drive train” like many other plans. And Y.E.S. covers
                          manufacturing defects just like the warranty. See the sample contract at your Yamaha dealer to
                          see how comforting uninterrupted factory-backed protection can be.

                        • You do not have to pay anything for covered repairs. There is no deductible to pay, and repairs
                          are not “pro-rated.” You do not have any “out-of-pocket” expenses for covered repairs.
                        • In addition, Travel and Recreation Interruption Protection (TRIP) is included at no extra cost.
                          TRIP gives you up to $250 reimbursement per occurrence for any reasonable expenses you
                          incur because your Yamaha needs  covered service: replacement vehicle  rental, emergency
                          towing, phone calls, even food and lodging when you are away from home. This superb cover-
                          age goes into effect when you purchase Y.E.S., so it applies to any warranty repairs as well as
                          covered repairs during your entire Y.E.S. plan period.
                        • Y.E.S. coverage is honored at any authorized Yamaha dealer nationwide.

                        • Y.E.S. coverage is transferable to  a  new owner if you sell or trade-in. That can  make your
                          Yamaha much more valuable!

                        This excellent Y.E.S. plan coverage is only available to Yamaha owners like you, and only while
                        your Yamaha is still within the Yamaha Limited Warranty period. So visit your authorized Yamaha
                        dealer to get all the facts. He can show you how easy it is to protect your investment with Yamaha
                        Extended Service.
                        We urge you to act now. You will get the excellent benefits of TRIP coverage right away, and you
                        will rest easy knowing  you will have strong factory-backed protection even after your Yamaha
                        Limited Warranty expires.

                        A special note:
                        If visiting your dealer is not convenient, contact Yamaha with your Primary ID number (your Owner’s
                        Manual shows you where to find this number). We will be happy to help you get the Y.E.S. coverage
                        you need.
