User manual YAMAHA SUPERJET-2000

[. . . ] If you have any questions about the operation or maintenance of your watercraft, please consult a Yamaha dealer. Because Yamaha has a policy of continuing product improvement, this product may not be exactly as described in this owner's/operator's manual. Specifications are subject to change without notice. This manual should be considered a permanent part of this watercraft and should remain with it even if the watercraft is subsequently sold. [. . . ] (At sub-planing speeds, there is a 43 Operation wake, but the watercraft is moving through the water rather than skimming on top of it. ) EJU33070 Starting the watercraft EWJ00700 WARNING G G G NOTE: At very slow speeds, it may be necessary to support your upper-body weight with your elbows resting on the gunwales, trailing your legs in the water. EJU33190 Standing After you are comfortable handling the watercraft from a kneeling position, try standing as the watercraft gains speed. The watercraft will become easier to balance as the speed increases, because jet thrust provides stability as well as directional control. When you are moving slowly, or preparing to stop, you will probably need to return to the kneeling position to maintain your balance. G G Scan constantly for people, objects, and other watercraft. Be alert for conditions that limit your visibility or block your vision of others. Operate defensively at safe speeds and keep a safe distance away from people, objects, and other watercraft. Do not follow directly behind watercraft or other boats. Do not go near others to spray or splash them with water. Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that make it hard for others to avoid you or understand where you are going. Avoid areas with submerged objects or shallow water. Remember, watercraft and other boats do not have brakes. Do not release the throttle lever when trying to steer away from objects--you need throttle to steer. Water sucked in through the intake grate is pressurized by the impeller in the jet pump. As the pressurized water is expelled from the pump through the jet thrust nozzle, it creates thrust to move and steer the watercraft. The higher the engine speed, the more thrust produced. The amount of jet thrust, in addition to the position of the handlebars, determines how sharply you turn. More throttle produces higher thrust, so the watercraft will turn more sharply. NOTE: If the port (left) side of the capsized watercraft is tilting up, push down on the gunwale so that the port (left) side is down before turning the watercraft clockwise. ECJ00520 CAUTION: Do not turn the watercraft over counterclockwise, otherwise water can enter the carburetor and engine, which can result in severe damage. (3) Start the engine and operate the watercraft to discharge any water remaining in the engine compartment. (If the engine does not start, see "Towing the watercraft" on page 73 or "Submerged watercraft" on page 74. ) 47 Operation B. Less throttle produces lower thrust, so the watercraft will turn more gradually. If the engine is stopped while riding, there is no thrust. The watercraft will go straight even though the handlebars are turned. C. Releasing the throttle lever completely produces only minimum thrust.
