SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH MAY
RESULT IF YOU IGNORE ANY OF
THE FOLLOWING:
•
Before operating your boat,
become familiar with all con-
trols. Consult your Yamaha dealer
about any control or function you
do not fully understand. Failure
to understand how the controls
work could cause an accident
or prevent you from avoiding an
accident.
•
Attach the engine shut-off switch
cord to your personal flotation
device or your arm or leg, before
operating. Failure to attach cord
could result in a runaway boat if
operator is ejected.
1) Always make sure the boat is
launched and used in waters that
are free from weeds and debris,
and at least 3 ft. (90 cm) deep.
WARNING! Never operate in water
that is less than 3 ft. (90 cm)
deep. You increase your chance
of hitting an underwater obstacle.
You could be injured. Pebbles or
sand can also be sucked into the
jet (water) intake, damaging the
impeller.
There is a hull drain plug at the
bottom of the stern in the center. Be
sure it is securely tightened before
launching the boat.
