Lubrication
WARNING@ Do not spray flammable rust inhibitor
products on engine surfaces while the
engine is hot. The sprayed substance or
propellants could catch fire.
@
1. Remove the spark plugs and pour
approximately one tablespoon of oil into
each cylinder.
2. Grease the spark plug threads and rein-
stall the spark plugs.
3. Crank the engine within 3 seconds using
the start switch.
4. Lubricate all cables such as the throttle
and steering cables.
NOTE:@ Use a suitable marine grease applicator to
pressure lubricate the cables and purge out
any moisture between the inner and outer
cables.
@
5. Lubricate the areas of the watercraft
specified under Lubrication points on
page 4-15.

Oil tank for water or dirt.

Oil hose and joint for damage or cracks.

Oil filter for dirt.

Oil pump for leakage.
EJU11010

Inspecting the battery
Check the level of the battery electrolyte
and make sure that the negative and posi-
tive leads are securely tightened.
WARNING@
Battery electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous, causing severe burns, etc.
Electrolyte contains sulfuric acid.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or cloth-
ing.
Antidotes
External: Flush with water.
Internal: Drink large quantities of water
or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia,
beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Call phy-
sician 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 bat-
tery in an enclosed space, make sure
that it is well ventilated. Always shield
your eyes when working near batter-
ies.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHIL-
DREN.

Be sure to connect the breather hose
to the battery. Fire or explosion could
result if the breather hose is damaged,
obstructed, or not connected properly.
@
CAUTION:@
Be careful not to place the battery on
its side.

Be sure to remove the battery from the
battery compartment when adding
electrolyte or charging the battery.

Replacing the fuse
The fuse is in the electrical box 1.
To replace the fuse:
1. Remove the cap 2.
2. Replace the fuse 4 with the spare
fuse5 of the correct amperage by using
the special tool 3 on the reverse side of
the cap.
WARNING@ Do not use fuses of higher amperage
than those recommended. Substitution
of a fuse of improper rating can cause
extensive electrical system damage and
possible fire.
@
EJU11120
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. Fuse amperage:
20 A (main)
3 A (meter)
3 A (bilge pump)
