Checking the fuel system

EWJ00380

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and explo- sive. Failure to check for and repair any fuel leakage could result in a fire or explo- sion. A fire or explosion can cause severe injury or death. Shut the engine off. Do not smoke. Avoid spilling gasoline.

Fuel in the fuel lines is pressurized.

Fuel can spray out and cause injury or a fire hazard if a fuel line is disconnected. Do not run the engine with a fuel line dis- connected.

Check the fuel system for leaks, cracks, and malfunctions. If any problem is found, consult a Yamaha dealer.

Check:

●Fuel tank filler cap and seal for damage.

●Fuel in fuel tank for water and dirt.

●Fuel tank for damage, cracks, and leakage.

●Fuel hoses and joints for damage, cracks, and leakage.

●Air bleeding passages for leakage.

Engine oil and oil filter

EWJ00340

WARNING

Engine oil is extremely hot immediately after the engine is turned off. Coming in contact with or getting any engine oil on your clothes could result in burns.

ECJ00990

CAUTION:

●Do not run the engine with too much or not enough oil in the oil tank. Oil could spray out and the engine could be dam- aged.

●Be sure to change the engine oil after the first 10 hours of operation, and every 50 hours thereafter or at the start of a new season, otherwise the engine will wear quickly.

The oil filter should be replaced every year or every 100 hours of operation. Have a Yamaha dealer replace the oil fil- ter if necessary.

It is recommended to have a Yamaha dealer change the engine oil. However, if you choose to change the oil on your own, refer to the service manual for this watercraft.

NOTE:

Dispose of used oil according to local regula- tions.
