Engine overheat warning
system
This model is equipped with an engine
overheat warning system. If the engine
starts to overheat, the engine speed will be
limited to about 3,000 r/min.
When this occurs, check for water dis-
charge at the cooling water pilot outlet. If
there is no discharge of water, reduce the
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:@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.

Fuel and oil
Gasoline
WARNING@GASOLINE AND ITS VAPORS ARE
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE!
●Do not smoke when refueling, and
keep away from sparks, flames, or
other sources of ignition.
●Stop engine before refueling.
●Refuel in a well-ventilated area. Do not
stand or sit on the watercraft while
refueling in case of fire.
●Take care not to spill gasoline. If gaso-
line spills, wipe it up immediately with
dry rags. Always properly dispose of
gasoline-soaked rags.
●Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Stop fill-
ing when the fuel level just reaches the
bottom of the filler tube. Do not fill up
the filler tube because fuel expands as
it warms up and could overflow.
●Tighten the filler cap securely after
refueling.
●If you should swallow some gasoline,
inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get
gasoline in your eyes, get immediate
medical attention.
●If any gasoline spills onto your skin,
immediately wash with soap and
water. Change clothing if gasoline
spills on it.
@
CAUTION:@Use only fresh gasoline that has been
stored in clean containers.
@
Recommended gasoline:
Regular unleaded gasoline:
Minimum octane rating:
86 (Pump octane number): (R+M)/2
