Engine overheat warning indicator

This model is equipped with an engine overheat warning system.

If the engine starts to overheat, the overheat warning indicator blinks for 5 seconds, and then it comes on. The buzzer also begins to sound intermittently, and then it sounds continuously. At the same time, the engine speed reduction control is activated when the engine runs over 3,000 r/min.

If this occurs, immediately reduce the engine speed and beach the watercraft, and check for water discharge at the port (left) cooling water pilot outlet. If there is no discharge of water, check the intake grate and impeller for clogging.

WARNING

Before attempting to remove weeds or debris from the intake grate or impeller, shut the engine off and remove the clip from the engine shut-off switch. Severe injury or death could result from coming in contact with the rotating parts of the jet pump.

CAUTION:

If you cannot locate and correct the cause of the overheating, consult a Yamaha dealer. Continuing to operate at higher speeds could result in severe engine damage.

NOTE:

Press any button on the multifunction meter to stop the buzzer.
