Preface
This manual has been prepared by Yamaha primarily for use by Yamaha dealers and their trained me-
chanics when performing maintenance procedures and repairs to Yamaha equipment. It has been writ-
ten to suit the needs of persons who have the Bronze Technical Certificate of the YTA (Yamaha
Technical Academy) marine or the equivalent basic understanding of the mechanical and electrical
concepts and procedures inherent in the work, for without such knowledge attempted repairs or service
to the equipment could render it unsafe or unfit for use.
Because Yamaha hasa policy of continuously improving its products, models may differ in detail from
the descriptions and illustrations given in this publication. Use only the latest edition of this manual. Au-
thorized Yamaha dealers are notified periodically of modifications and significant changes in specifica-
tions and procedures, and these are incorporated in successive editions of this manual. Also, up-to-
date parts information is available on YDS (Yamaha Dealer System, U.S.A. only) or YPEC-web (except
U.S.A.). Additional information and up-to-date information on Yamaha products and services are avail-
able on YDS, YMPE (Yamaha Multimedia Product Encyclopedia, Canada only), or Yamaha Service
Portal (except U.S.A. and Canada).

Safety while working
Safety while working
To prevent an accident or injury and to provide
quality service, observe the following safety
procedures.
Rotating parts
¢ Hands, feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, personal
flotation device straps, and so on, can be-
come entangled with internal rotating parts of
the engine or jet pump unit, resulting in seri-
ous injury or death.
¢ Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, per-
sonal flotation device straps, and so on,
away from any exposed moving parts when
operating the engine with the seat removed.
¢ Keep away from intake grate while engine is
on. Items such as hair, clothing, or personal
flotation device straps can become entan-
gled in moving parts resulting in severe inju-
ry.
Hot parts
During and after operation, engine parts are
hot enough to cause burns. Do not touch any
parts in the engine compartment until the en-
gine has cooled.
Electric shock
Do not touch any electrical parts while starting
or operating the engine. Otherwise, shock or
electrocution could result.
Impeller
Do not hold the impeller with your hands when
loosening or tightening the impeller.
1-1
Handling of gasoline
* Gasoline is highly flammable. Keep gasoline
and all flammable products away from heat,
sparks, and open flames.
* Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury
or death. Handle gasoline with care. Never
siphon gasoline by mouth. If you swallow
some gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,
or get some gasoline in your eyes, see your
doctor immediately. If gasoline spills on your
skin, wash with soap and water. If gasoline
spills on your clothing, change your clothes.
Ventilation
¢ Gasoline vapor and exhaust gas are heavier
than air and extremely poisonous. If gasoline
vapor or exhaust gas is inhaled in large
quantities, it may cause loss of conscious-
ness and death within a short time.
¢ When test running an engine indoors (for ex-
ample, in a water tank) make sure to do so
where adequate ventilation can be main-
tained.
Safety while working
Self-protection
¢ Protect your eyes by wearing safety glasses
or safety goggles during all operations involv-
ing drilling and grinding, or when using an air
compressor.
¢ Protect your hands and feet by wearing pro-
tective gloves and safety shoes when neces-
sary.
Working with crane
¢ When moving the watercraft, or when lifting
the engine during removal or installation,
make sure to use a crane with a lifting capac-
ity that is equal to or more than the weight of
the watercraft or engine respectively.
¢ When lifting the watercraft, use the watercraft
lift harness and make sure that the watercraft
is in a stable position when moving it.
¢ Use the wire ropes of adequate strength, and
lift up the engine unit usingthe three point
suspension.
¢ If the engine unit does not have three or more
points to be suspended, support it using ad-
ditional ropes or the like so that the engine
unit can be lifted and carried in a stable man-
ner.
Handling of heat gun
¢ Improper handling of a heat gun may result in
burns. For information on the proper handling
of the heat gun, see the operation manual is-
sued by the manufacturer.
¢ When using a heat gun, keep it away from
the gasoline and oil, to prevent a fire.
¢ Components become hot enough to cause
burns. Do not touch any hot components di-
rectly.
Parts, lubricants, and sealants
Use only genuine Yamaha parts, lubricants,
and sealants, or those recommended by Ya-
maha, when servicing or repairing the water-
craft.
Safety while working
Handling of sealants
¢ Wear protective gloves to protect your skin,
when using the sealants.
¢ See the material safety data sheet issued by
the manufacturer. Some of the sealants may
be harmful to human health.
Special service tool
Use the recommended special service tools to
work safely, and to protect parts from damage.
Tightening torque
Follow the tightening torque specifications pro-
vided throughout the manual. When tightening
nuts, bolts, and screws, tighten the large sizes
first, and tighten fasteners starting in the center
and moving outward.
Non-reusable parts
Always use new gaskets, seals, O-rings, cotter
pins, and so on, when installing or assembling
parts.
Disassembly and assembly
¢ Use compressed air to remove dust and dirt
during disassembly.
¢ Apply engine oil to the contact surfaces of
moving parts before assembly.
<a
¢ Install bearings so that the bearing identifica-
tion mark is facing in the direction indicated in
the installation procedure. In addition, make
sure to lubricate the bearings liberally.
¢ Apply a thin coat of water resistant grease to
the lip and periphery of an oil seal before in-
stallation.
* Check that moving parts operate normally af-
ter assembly.
Engine oil
Drain the engine oil before starting any work,
such as repair or maintenance work, in which
the hull is tilted 90 degrees. Otherwise, the en-
gine oil could backflow and severely damage
the engine.
