To close the glove compartment, push the lid down until it locks securely. NOTE: A removable beverage holder 3 is provided in the glove compartment.

Conventional 2-stroke engine oil cannot be used. The engine utilizes an electronic fuel injection system to deliver the optimal air- fuel mixture ratio required by the engine. With optimal combustion conditions, this system is able to increase startability and improve fuel economy. Gasohol containing methanol is not rec- ommended by Yamaha because it can cause fuel system damage or engine perfor- mance problems. Avoid getting water or other contaminants in the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can cause poor running or engine damage.

Remove the rear and front seats. See pages and for seat removal and installation procedures. See the accompanying text in this chapter for details on how to perform the checks.

WARNING If any item in the pre-operation check list is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operating the watercraft, otherwise an accident could occur. To ventilate the engine compartment remove the rear and front seats. Allow the engine compartment to remain open for a few minutes to allow any fuel vapors to escape.

Do not run the engine with too much or not enough oil in the oil tank. Oil could flow into the air filter case and the engine could be damaged. Page 59 Checking the engine oil level again: 1.

Launch the watercraft, and then start the engine. Normally the water separator is empty. The water separator retains any water entering through the fuel tank breather hose if the watercraft is capsized. If water remains in the water separator, drain it by removing the drain screw 2. This watercraft is equipped with a conven- tional jet vacuum bilge draining system and an electric bilge draining system.

The elec- tric bilge draining system is operated when the engine is running. When excess water reaches the water inlet of the electric bilge pump, the water is discharged from the elec- tric bilge pilot outlet 1 at the stern.

Check that the battery leads are tightened securely and there is no corrosion on the battery terminals. Loss of battery power may leave you stranded. Page Fire Extinguisher Always carry a fire extinguisher on board. A fire extinguisher is not standard equip- ment with this watercraft.

If you do not have one, contact a Yamaha dealer or a fire extinguisher dealer to obtain one meeting the proper specifications. Page 64 EJU Throttle Squeeze and release the throttle lever several times to make sure that there is no hesitation in its travel.

It should be smooth over the complete range, and spring back to the idle position when released. Make sure that the reverse gate goes down to its stopper position when the shift lever is pulled up. Also, make sure that the reverse gate goes up to its stopper position when shift lever is pushed down.

Page Jet Unit EJU Jet unit Carefully check the jet intake for weeds, debris, or anything else that might restrict the intake of water. If the intake is clogged, cavitation could occur, reducing jet thrust, and possibly damaging the jet pump. In some cases, the engine may overheat because of lack of cooling water, and dam- age to the engine could result. Page 67 EJU Switches Check the start switch 1, the engine stop switch 2, and the engine shut-off switch 3 for proper operation.

To check these switches, place the water- craft in the water to provide adequate cooling. Start the engine, and then pull the engine shut-off cord 5 to remove the clip 4 from the engine shut-off switch. Con- sult your Yamaha dealer about any con- trol function fully understand.

Failure to understand how controls work could cause an accident or prevent you from avoiding an accident. Page Launching The Watercraft 2. For the first 5 minutes, run the engine at trolling speed only.

A cooling water strainer is incorporated into the jet pump, which prevents the cooling water pas- sages from clogging. Foam filling in the inner hull reinforces the hull and also serves as a floatation. To reduce intake noise, intake boxes are equipped near the hood. To reduce exhaust noise, a resonator is equipped to the exhaust system. Front storage compartment: 75 L The glove compartment is equipped with a removable beverage holder.

The speedometer display can be switched between kilometers and miles. By connecting a computer to the ECM, quick detection of malfunctions and parts that are difficult to check such as the fuel injectors and fuel pump module can be checked easily. The sensors installed on the engine include the cam position sensor, temperature sensor, pulser coil, throttle position sensor, intake air temperature sensor, and intake air pressure sensor.

Page 26 Two pulser coils are used: one for cylinders 1 and 4 and one for cylinders 2 and 3. Pulser coil Pulser coil for cylinders Page 29 Normal mode Except for the controls mentioned earlier, fuel injection is normal sequential injection. Basic ignition timing and each correction value control ignition timing.

Basic ignition timing and each correction value determine actual ignition timing. Cooling water, which is drawn in by the jet pump, flows to the engine, oil tank, and exhaust pipes.

Cooling water, which cools the engine oil in the oil tank, enters the exhaust joint. A pressure control valve limits cooling water pressure that enters the engine.

A scavenge pump is used to collect oil from the engine and deliver it to the oil tank. A feed oil pump is used to send oil from the oil tank to the various engine components.
