Operation
145
Gasoline vapors can explode. Before
starting the engines, check the engine
compartment for gasoline, gasoline va-
pors, and loose electrical connections,
and then operate the blowers for at least
4 minutes. Do not start the engines or
operate the blowers if you can smell
gasoline vapors in the engine compart-
ment or if there are any loose electrical
connections. Contact a Yamaha Boat
Dealer if there is a problem you cannot
locate or correct.
Attach the engine shut-off cord (lanyard)
to your PFD before operating. Failure to
attach the cord could result in a run-
away boat if the operator is ejected.
Do not apply throttle when anyone is at
the rear of the boat. Turn the engines off
or keep them at idle. Water and debris
exiting the jet thrust nozzles can cause
severe injury.
(1) Always make sure the boat is launched
and used in waters that are free from
weeds and debris, and at least 90 cm
(3 ft) deep from the bottom of the boat.
WARNING! Never operate in water
that is less than 90 cm (3 ft) deep from
the bottom of the boat. You increase
your chance of hitting an underwater
obstacle. You could be injured. Peb-
bles or sand can also be sucked into
the jet intakes, damaging the impel-
lers.
NOTICE
There is a hull drain plug at the bottom of
the stern. Check the O-ring on the hull
drain plug and make sure that the plug is
tightened securely before launching the
boat. Otherwise, water may flood the boat
and cause it to submerge.
