Long-term storage

EWJ00320
WARNING
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.
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 easily by the owner.

stabilizer and conditioner to the fuel tank ac-
cording to the manufacturer's instruction be-
fore starting the engine.
(2) Clean the watercraft. (See page 50 for in-
formation on cleaning the watercraft.)
