Safety information
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
●
Owner’s/Operator’s Manual, the Riding
Practice Guide, and all warning and cau-
tion labels on the watercraft. These mate-
rials 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 Owner’s/
Operator’s Manual, the Riding Practice
Guide and all warning and caution labels.
EJU10000
Limitations on who may
operate the watercraft
Yamaha recommends a minimum opera-
●
tor 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
●
operator and one passenger. Never
exceed the maximum load limit or allow
more than 2 persons to ride the watercraft
at one time.
Maximum load: 160 kg (353 lb)
Load is the total weight of cargo,
operator and passenger.
Do not operate the watercraft with a pas-
●
senger on board until you have considerable 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.

EJU10010
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.
Ride within your limits and avoid aggres-
●
sive 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 bro-
ken legs, ankles and other bones. Do not
jump wakes or waves.
Do not operate the watercraft in rough
●
water, 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
●
ride your watercraft without someone else
near by. If you ride further than swimming
distance from shore, you should ride by
another boat or watercraft, but make sure
you stay a safe distance away. It’s good
common sense!
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.
1-10
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.
EJU10020
Operation requirements
All riders must wear an authority-
●
approved 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
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.
E

Authority-approved PFD

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.
1-11
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. If you will be engag-
ing in closed-course competition, follow
the helmet requirements of the sanction-
ing organization.
NEVER operate the watercraft after con-
●
suming alcohol or taking other drugs.
For reasons of safety and proper care of
●
the watercraft, always perform the preoperation checks listed on page 3-6
before operating the watercraft.
The operator and passenger should
●
always keep both feet in the footwell when
the watercraft is in motion. Lifting your
feet increases your chances of losing your
balance, and your feet being hit by objects
outside the watercraft. Do not give a ride
to a child whose feet cannot reach the
floor of the footwell.
Passenger should firmly hold on to 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.
E

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 wrist and keep it free from the handle-
bars so that the engine stops if the opera-
tor falls off. After riding, remove the
engine shut-off cord from the watercraft 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 acciden-
tally 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 you maneuver more quickly than other
boaters expect, you risk a collision.
Maintain a safe distance from other boats
●
or watercraft, and also watch for boats’ 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 1-16.)
EJU13820
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 an authorityapproved pyrotechnic device be stored in
a waterproof container on your watercraft.
A mirror can also be used as an emergency signal. Contact your Yamaha
dealer for more information.
Watch
●
A watch is helpful so you will know how
long you have been operating.
Towline
●
A towline can be used to tow a disabled
watercraft in an emergency.
1-13
E
EJU20020
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 start engine on land until everyone
●
is away from stern. Hot water and steam
spurting from exhaust outlet can cause
serious burns.
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.
EJU20030
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 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.
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.
1-14
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.
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.
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.

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.
EJU10060
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 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 unavoidable, ride slowly and obey all laws.
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 refueling. 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 enjoyment of a variety of recreational opportunities.
