Engine overheat warning indicator

This model is equipped with an engine overheat warning system.

If the engine starts to overheat, the warning light and the overheat warning indicator blink, and then come on. The buzzer also begins to sound intermittently, and then it sounds continuously. After the light and indicator start to blink and the buzzer sounds, the engine speed is limited to help prevent damage.

If this occurs, immediately reduce the engine speed, return to shore, and then 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 the select button 1 on the multifunc- tion meter to stop the buzzer.
