Engine overheat warning
system
This model is equipped with an engine
overheat warning system.
If the engine starts to overheat, the warn-
ing light and the engine overheat warning
indicator begin to blink, and the buzzer
sounds intermittently.
When this occurs, check for water dis-
charge at the cooling water pilot outlet. If
there is no discharge of water, reduce
engine speed and beach the watercraft, and
then 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:
●When the warning system is activated,
reduce engine speed and beach the
watercraft. If these signals are ignored,
the engine will shut off and it cannot
be started until the engine cools.
●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 reset button on the multifunction
information center to stop the buzzer.

E
If the overheat warning is ignored, engine
heat may increase, particularly if the water-
craft is operated at higher speeds. When
this occurs, the warning light and engine
overheat warning indicator begin to blink
rapidly, the buzzer sounds continuously, and
the overheat system will stop ignition to the
engine to reduce the risk of severe over-
heating. The engine cannot be started until
it cools down, so it may be necessary to
have the watercraft towed back to the
beach. (See “Towing the watercraft” on page
5-7 for towing procedures.)
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 reset button on the multifunction
information center to stop the buzzer.

Handgrip
The handgrip 1 provides a handhold for
boarding the watercraft.
CAUTION:
Do not use to tow objects, lift watercraft,
or attach tie downs, otherwise damage
could occur.
