Inspecting the battery
Check the level of the battery electrolyte
and make sure the leads are secure.
WARNING@ Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dan-
gerous, causing severe burns, etc. Elec-
trolyte contains sulfuric acid. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Antidotes
External: Flush with water.
Internal: Drink large quantities of water
or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia,
beaten egg or vegetable oil. Call physi-
cian immediately.
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep
sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc., well away.
If using or charging the battery in an
enclosed space, make sure that it is well
ventilated. Always shield your eyes when
working near batteries.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHIL-
DREN.
@
CAUTION:@ Be careful not to place the battery on its
side.
Make sure to remove the battery from the
battery compartment when adding bat-
tery electrolyte or charging the battery.
When checking the battery, make sure
the breather hose is connected to the
battery and not obstructed.

To replenish the battery:
1. Make sure that the electrolyte level is
between the upper 1 and lower 2 level
marks.
2. Refill the battery with distilled water if
necessary.
CAUTION:@ Normal tap water contains minerals that
are harmful to a battery. Use only dis-
tilled water for replenishing the battery.
@
To recharge the battery:
CAUTION:@ Do not attempt to charge a battery hast-
ily. Battery life may be shorter.
@
Yamaha recommend charging battery by
a Yamaha dealer or a battery dealer. If you
charge the battery yourself, read the battery
charger instructions carefully before charg-
ing and follow the points below.
1. Remove all caps from the battery cell.
2. Add distilled water to the specified level if
the electrolyte level is low.
3. Set the charging rate to 1.9 ampere and
charge the battery slowly until the explo-
sive gases become coming out vigor-
ously from battery cells.
To connect the battery terminals:
1. Make sure that the connections are cor-
rect when you insert the battery in the
watercraft.
2. Make sure that the breather hose is
properly connected and that it is not
damaged or obstructed.
3. Make sure that the battery is securely
held in place.

Adjusting the carburetor
The carburetor is a vital part of the engine
and requires very sophisticated adjustment.
Most adjusting should be left to a Yamaha
dealer who has the professional knowledge
and experience to perform it. However, the
operator may adjust the trolling speed as
part of the usual maintenance routine.
CAUTION:@ The carburetor was set at the Yamaha
factory after many tests. If the settings
are disturbed by someone who does not
have the necessary technical knowledge,
poor engine performance and damage
may result.
@
EJU01262
Adjusting the trolling speed
1. Put the watercraft in the water.
2. Start the engine and warm it up for 1 or 2
minutes. Using a diagnostic tachometer
or, if necessary, the tachometer in the
multifunction meter, adjust the engine
speed to specification.
3. Turn the throttle stop screw 1 clockwise
to increase engine speed if necessary.
Turn it counterclockwise to decrease
engine speed if necessary.
Trolling speed: 1,250–1,350 r/min

Replacing the fuse
The fuse is in the electrical box 1.
To replace the fuse:
1. Remove the cap 2, pull out the red lead,
and bring the fuse holder 3 out of the
electrical box.
2. Open the fuse holder and replace the
fuse 4 with one of the correct amper-
age.
WARNING@ Do not use fuses of higher amperage that
those recommended. Substitution of a
fuse of improper rating can cause exten-
sive electrical system damage and possi-
ble fire.
@
Fuse amperage: 10 A

Bleeding the oil injection
pump
If the oil tank becomes completely empty,
or any hose connected to the oil pump has
been disconnected, the oil pump must be
bled to ensure proper oil flow.
If bleeding of the oil pump is necessary,
have a Yamaha dealer bleed it.
