Storage
WARNING
EWJ00330
Always place the watercraft upright in a
horizontal position when storing it, other-
wise fuel could leak out into the engine or
engine compartment, which could create a
fire hazard.
Storage for long periods of time, such as win-
ter storage, requires preventive maintenance
to ensure against deterioration. It is advisable
to have the watercraft serviced by a Yamaha
dealer prior to storage. However, the following
procedures can be performed by the owner.

seconds without supplying water or
over 4000 r/min on land, otherwise the
engine could overheat.

cap, and then insert the garden hose
adapter into the flushing hose connector
and turn it until it is securely connected.

turn the water supply on until water flows
out continually from the jet thrust nozzle.
