The safe use and operation of this water­craft is dependent upon the use of proper riding techniques, as well as upon the common sense, good judgment, and ex­pertise of the operator. Before using this watercraft, make sure that its use is per­mitted under local laws, bylaws, and regu­lations, and always operate the watercraft in full conformity with any requirements and limitations imposed. Every operator should know the following requirements before riding the watercraft.
Before operating the watercraft, read this
owners/operators manual, the Riding Practice Guide, the Riding Instruction card, and all labels on the watercraft. These ma­terials should give you an understanding of the watercraft and its operation.
Never allow anyone to operate this water-
craft until they too have read this own­ers/operators manual, the Riding Practice Guide, the Riding Instruction card, and all labels.
EJU30740
Limitations on who may
operate the watercraft
Yamaha recommends a minimum operator
age of 16 years old. Adults must supervise use by minors. Know your local operator age and training requirements.
This watercraft is designed to carry the op-
erator and up to 2 passengers. Never ex­ceed the maximum load limit or allow more than 3 persons (or 2 persons if a water-skier is being pulled) to ride the watercraft at any time.
Maximum load:
240 kg (530 lb) Load is the total weight of cargo, oper­ator, and passengers.
Do not operate the watercraft with any pas-
sengers on board until you have consider­able practice and experience riding alone. Operating the watercraft with passengers requires more skill. Take the time to be­come accustomed to the handling charac­teristics of the watercraft before trying any difficult maneuvers.

Safety information
EJU30761
Cruising limitations
Scan constantly for people, objects, and
other watercraft. Be alert for conditions that limit your visibility or block your vision of others.
Operate defensively at safe speeds and
keep a safe distance away from people, ob­jects, and other watercraft.
Do not follow directly behind watercraft or
other boats.
Do not go near others to spray or splash
them with water.
Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that
make it hard for others to avoid you or un­derstand where you are going.
Avoid areas with submerged objects or
shallow water.
Take early action to avoid collisions. Re-
member, watercraft and other boats do not have brakes.
Do not release the throttle lever when trying
to steer away from objectsyou need throt­tle to steer. Always check throttle and steer­ing controls before starting the watercraft.
Ride within your limits and avoid aggressive
maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss of con­trol, ejection, and collision.
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 broken legs, an-
kles, and other bones. Do not jump wakes or waves.
Do not operate the watercraft in rough wa-
ter, bad weather, or when visibility is poor; this may lead to an accident causing injury or death. Be alert to the possibility of ad­verse weather. Take note of weather fore­casts and the prevailing weather conditions before setting out on your watercraft.
As with any water sport, you should not op-
erate 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. Its good, common sense.
Never operate in water that is less than 60
cm (2 ft) deep from the bottom of the water­craft, otherwise you increase your chance of hitting a submerged object, which could result in injury.
60 cm (2 ft)
This watercraft is not equipped with lighting
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.
Follow navigation rules, and state/provin-
cial and local laws that apply to watercraft.
EJU30821
Operation requirements
All riders must wear a personal flotation de-
vice (PFD) that is approved by the appropri­ate authorities and 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 the 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 fabrics, like those used in bicycle shorts.
1 Authority-approved PFD 2 Wetsuit bottom
Eye protection is recommended to keep
wind, water, and glare from the sun out of your eyes while you operate your water­craft. Restraining straps for eyewear are made which are designed to float should your eyewear fall in the water. Footwear and gloves are recommended.
You must decide whether to wear a helmet
while you ride for recreation. You should know that a helmet could help protect you in
12
Safety information
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 haz­ards, 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 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 your fatigue. How should you decide if a helmets 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 congestion, 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. If you will be engaging in closed-course competi­tion, follow the helmet requirements of the sanctioning organization.
Never operate the watercraft after consum-
ing alcohol or taking other drugs.
For reasons of safety and proper care of the
watercraft, always perform the pre-opera­tion checks listed on page 59 before operat­ing the watercraft.
The operator and passengers should al-
ways keep their feet on the floor of 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 children if their feet cannot reach the floor of the footwell.
The passengers should hold on firmly, ei-
ther to the person in front of them or to the handgrip provided.
Never allow a passenger to ride in front of
the operator.
Always consult your doctor on whether it is
safe for you to ride this watercraft if you are pregnant or in poor health.
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.
Attach the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) to
your left wrist and keep it free from the han­dlebars so that the engine stops if you, the operator, fall off. After riding, remove the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) from the wa-
13
Safety information
tercraft to avoid accidental starting or unau­thorized use by children or others.
Scan carefully for swimmers and 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 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 Safe boating rules and be sure to check behind you be­fore making a turn. (See Safe boating rules on page 19.)
EJU30840
Recommended equipment
The following items should be carried on board your watercraft:
Sound-signaling device
You should carry a whistle or other sound­signaling device that can be used to signal other boats.
Visual distress signals
It is recommended that a pyrotechnic de­vice, which is approved by the appropriate authorities, be stored in a waterproof con­tainer on your watercraft. A mirror can also be used as an emergency signal. Contact a Yamaha dealer for more information.
Watch
A watch is helpful so you will know how long you have been operating the watercraft.
Towline
A towline can be used to tow a disabled wa­tercraft in an emergency.

Safety information
EJU36850
Hazard information
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.
Do not touch the hot muffler or engine dur-
ing or immediately after engine operation; they can cause serious burns.
EJU30920
Watercraft characteristics
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 is equipped with 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 ob­stacles until you have a good feel for this maneuver.
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. You are in ei­ther forward or reverse, depending upon the shift lever position.
Do not use the reverse function to slow
down or stop the watercraft as it could cause you to lose control, be ejected, or im­pact the handlebars. This could increase the risk of back/spinal injury (paralysis), facial injuries, and broken legs, ankles, and other bones. You could also damage the shift mechanism.
15
Safety information
Reverse can be used to slow down or stop
during slow-speed maneuvering, such as when docking. Once the engine is idling, shift into reverse and gradually increase en­gine speed. Make sure that there are no ob­stacles or people behind you before shifting into reverse.
Keep away from the intake grate 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.
Never insert any object into the jet thrust
nozzle while the engine is running. Severe injury or death could result from coming in contact with the rotating parts of the jet pump.

Water-skiing
You can use the watercraft for water-skiing if it has the seating capacity to carry the opera­tor, a rearward-facing spotter, and the water­skier when he or she is not skiing. The watercraft must also have a cleat de­signed to pull a ski rope; do not attach the rope to any other location.
1
1 Cleat
It is the watercraft operators responsibility to be alert to the safety of the water-skier and others. Know and follow all local water-skiing regulations in effect for the waters in which you will be operating. The operator should be comfortable carrying passengers before attempting to pull a skier. The following are some important consider­ations for minimizing risks while water-skiing.
The skier should wear an approved PFD,
preferably a brightly colored one so boat operators can see the skier.
The skier should wear protective clothing.
Severe internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of falling into the water. Normal swimwear does not adequately protect against forceful water entry into the rectum or vagina. The skier should wear a wetsuit bottom or clothing that provides equivalent protection.
A second person should be on board as a
spotter to watch the skier; in many places it
is required by law. Let the skier direct the operators control of speed and direction with hand signals. The spotter should sit astride the rear of the seat and hold onto the handgrip with both feet firmly on the floor of the footwell for proper balance while facing to the rear to

until the watercraft is well away from the ski­er and slack in the ski rope is taken up. Make sure that the rope is not looped around anything. After checking that the skier is ready and that there is no traffic or other obstacles, ap­ply enough throttle to raise the skier.
Make smooth, wide turns. The watercraft is
capable of very sharp turns, which could ex­ceed the abilities of the skier. Keep the skier at least 50 m (150 ft), about twice the dis­tance of a standard ski rope, from any po­tential hazard.
Be alert to the hazard of the ski rope handle
snapping back at the watercraft when the skier falls or is unable to get up on the skis.
Towing heavy or bulky objects other than
skiers, such as another boat or watercraft, can cause loss of steering control and cre­ate a hazardous condition. If you must tow another boat in an emergency situation, op­erate slowly and cautiously.

Your control while pulling a water-skier is
affected by the skiers ability, as well as wa­ter and weather conditions.
When preparing to pull a skier, operate the
watercraft at the slowest possible speed

Safe boating rules
Your Yamaha watercraft is legally considered a powerboat. Operation of the watercraft must be in accordance with the rules and regula­tions governing the waterway on which it is used.
EJU30991
Enjoy your watercraft
responsibly
You share the areas you enjoy when riding your watercraft with others and with nature. 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 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 respectful distance from fisher­men, 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 regu­lated limits. You have the responsibility to make sure that the recommended mainte­nance 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. Dis­pose of water and any fuel and oil residue in the engine compartment according to local regulations. And keep your surroundings pleasant for the people and wildlife that share the waterways: dont litter. When you ride responsibly, with respect and courtesy for others, you help ensure that our
19
waterways stay open for the enjoyment of a variety of recreational opportunities.
