Post-operation care
WARNING
EWJ00321
Always turn the fuel cock knob to “OFF”
when storing the watercraft, otherwise
fuel could leak out into the engine or en-
gine compartment, which would create a
fire hazard.
After using the watercraft, always take it out
of the water, clean it, and store it. Leaving the
watercraft in the water for extended periods
will accelerate the rate of normal deteriora-
tion of the jet pump and hull. Marine organ-
isms and corrosion are some of the
conditions that can shorten the life of many
watercraft components.

Flushing the cooling water passages
NOTICE
ECJ01361
Do not run the engine for more than 15
seconds on land without supplying water,
otherwise the engine could overheat.
Flush the cooling water passages to prevent
them from clogging with salt, sand, or dirt.
Use the Yamaha Watercraft Flush Kit to make
flushing easier. The flush kit is an optional
part. To purchase the flush kit, contact a
Yamaha dealer.
See the instructions included with the flush
kit for proper installation.
(1) Place the watercraft in a horizontal posi-
tion.
(2) Remove the hood. (See page 26 for hood
removal and installation procedures.)
(3) Insert the garden hose adapter into the
flushing hose connector.
(4) Connect the garden hose adapter to a
garden hose.
(5) Connect the garden hose to a water tap.
(6) Make sure that the area around the wa-
tercraft is clear, and then start the en-
gine. Immediately after the engine starts,
turn the water supply on gradually until
water flows out continually from the
cooling water pilot outlet.
(7) Run the engine at idling speed for about
3 minutes watching the engine condition.
