Engine overheat warning
system
This model is equipped with an engine
overheat warning system.
If the engine starts to overheat, the warn-
ing light, the indicator for the water tempera-
ture symbol, and “W. T E M P” display begin to
blink, the buzzer sounds, and the engine
speed will be limited to about 3,400 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.
@
NOTE:@ Press any button on the multifunction meter
to stop the buzzer.

PADLOC (Programmable
digital locking ignition)
This feature is provided to deter unautho-
rized use.
The function allows you to choose either
“START” or “LOCK” mode, as the situation
requires, much as you would use an ignition
key in a motor vehicle. If you have previously
chosen “LOCK” mode, the engine will not
start unless the right code is put in to select
“START” mode.
NOTE:@ If you do not use the PADLOC system, it is
unnecessary to perform the initial setting of
the PADLOC. In this case, the “START”
mode is automatically selected.

PADLOC initial setting
1. Remove the cover 1 in the front storage
compartment. Disconnect the blue con-
nector 2 behind the front storage com-
partment.
2. After the warning light turns on, press
the “MODE” button for at least 3 seconds
until the display shows “COdE.” You are
ready to set your code.

3. Select your four-letter code by pressing
the “A/SET,” “B,” or “C” buttons in a
desired sequence.
NOTE:@ If you do not press a button for more than
10 seconds, the display automatically turns
off. This cancels the process of setting a
code.
@
4. After code setting is complete, the
buzzer will sound 3 times and the display
will show “SET.” Lastly, the display turns
off and the warning light turns on again.
After the meter has displayed this
sequence, connect the blue connector
again.
NOTE:@
Your own code is kept even if the battery
terminal is disconnected.

If you forget your own code, or if you want
to change the code, do this initial setting
procedure again from the beginning.

EJU01224
Selecting “PA D L O C” mode
Selecting the desired mode can only be
done after the initial setting has been done
and while the display is not lit.
1. Press the “MODE” button until the meter
displays the current mode, “START” or
“LOCK.”
2. With “START” or “LOCK” displayed,
press the “MODE” button continuously
for about 3 seconds until the display
changes to “COdE.”

Tr i p m e t e r
A tripmeter is provided for measuring the
approximate distance traveled.
To show the tripmeter, press the “MODE”
button until the display shows “TRIP” while
the engine is running. After showing “TRIP,”
the display turns to “.KM.”
1. When the display shows “.KM,” press the
“MODE” button for at least 2 seconds.
2. The buzzer will sound twice. The warn-
ing light and “.KM” blink for 2 seconds,
and “000” is displayed. Now the meter
will start to measure the distance you
travel.
3. When the tripmeter begins measuring
the distance traveled, the “.” to the left of
“KM” on the display will blink.
NOTE:@ Measured distance may vary depending on
the water surface conditions, and wind direc-
tion. The measured distance should be used
for a reference.

about 1.4 L (0.37 US gal, 0.31 Imp gal) or
the oil filter is clogged, the lowest oil level
segment, the oil warning indicator, “OIL” and
the warning light begin to blink. The buzzer
also starts sounding intermittently.
If the oil warning indicator begins to blink,
refill with engine oil as soon as possible.

Battery warning indicator
If the battery voltage becomes less than
11.5 volts, the battery warning indicator,
“VOLT” and the warning light begin to blink.

Fuel and oil
This engine uses Yamaha’s oil injection
system, which provides superior lubrication
by ensuring the proper oil ratio for all operat-
ing conditions. No fuel premixing is neces-
sary except during the engine break-in
period. Simply pour gasoline into the fuel
tank and oil into the oil tank.
EJU01911
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 with
the watercraft in a horizontal position.

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. If tem-
porarily leaving the watercraft with a
full fuel tank, do not leave it in direct
sunlight. Leave it in a well-ventilated
area with the watercraft in a horizontal
position.

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.
