Engine oil level check
1. Check:
Engine oil level
Checking steps:
CAUTION:
When checking the engine oil level on
water, be careful of other watercraft,
boats, swimmers, or obstacles. The
water current or wind can cause the
watercraft to move and lead to a colli-
sion.
When checking the engine oil level on
land, supply water to the cooling water
passages.
Make sure that engine has enough oil
but do not overfill. If there is too little
oil, the engine can be damaged. If there
is too much oil, the air filter can
become saturated with oil, perma-
nently damaging the filter and reduc-
ing engine performance. Follow the
checking procedure carefully.
Make sure that debris or water does
not enter the oil tank filler hole. Debris
or water in the engine oil can cause
serious engine damage.

Place the watercraft in a horizontal posi-
tion or launch the watercraft.
Remove the seat.
Remove the oil tank filler cap 1
and
check for oil on the dipstick 2
.
If there is no oil on the dipstick, pour
enough oil so that the tip of the dipstick
comes into contact with the oil, and then
install the filler cap.
Start the engine.
CAUTION:
When starting the engine make sure the
dipstick is securely fitted into the oil
tank.
NOTE:
The engine cannot be started if the
Yamaha Security System is in the lock
mode. (Deluxe model only)
For information on the Yamaha Security
System, see the owner’s manual. (Deluxe
model only)
Run the engine at trolling speed for 6
minutes or more, and then turn the
engine off.
CAUTION:
When checking the oil level on land, be
sure to connect a garden hose to the
watercraft for proper water supply.
NOTE:
If the ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F)
or less, warm up the engine for an addi-
tional 5 minutes.
Remove the oil tank filler cap 1
, wipe the
dipstick 2
clean, and then screw the filler
cap into the filler hole completely.

Remove the oil tank filler cap again and
check that the oil level is between the
minimum level mark a
and maximum
level mark b
on the dipstick.
If the engine oil is below the minimum
level mark b
, add sufficient oil of the rec-
ommended type to raise it to the correct
level.
If the engine oil is above the maximum
level mark a
, extract sufficient oil using
an oil changer to lower it to the correct
level.
NOTE:
If the oil temperature is low, the reading on
the dipstick will be low, and if the tempera-
ture is high, the reading on the dipstick will
be high.
Engine oil change — using oil changer
WARNING
Avoid changing the engine oil immediately
after turning the engine off. The oil is hot
and should be handled with care to avoid
burns.
CAUTION:
Do not run the engine with too much or
not enough oil in the oil tank. Oil could
spray out or the engine could be dam-
aged.
Do not run the engine for more than 15
seconds without supplying water, when
checking the oil level on land.
The engine could overheat.
Be sure to change the engine oil after the
first 10 hours of operation, and every 100
hours thereafter or at the start of a new
season, otherwise the engine will wear
quickly.
1. Warm the engine up, and then put the
watercraft in a horizontal position.

Battery inspection
WARNING
Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dan-
gerous, causing severe burns, etc. Electro-
lyte 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 physician immedi-
ately.
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 CHILDREN.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to place the battery on its
side.
Make sure to remove the battery from the
battery compartment when adding battery
electrolyte or charging the battery.
When checking the battery, make sure the
breather hose is connected to the battery
and not obstructed.

Peak voltage adapter
NOTE:
Throughout this chapter the part numbers of
the specified peak voltage adapters have
been omitted. Refer to the following part
numbers.
The peak voltage adapter should be used
with a digital tester.
When measuring the peak voltage, connect
the peak voltage adapter to the digital circuit
tester and switch the selector to the DC volt-
age mode.
NOTE:
Make sure that the adapter leads are prop-
erly installed in the digital circuit tester.
Make sure that the positive pin (the “+” mark
facing up as shown) on the adapter is
installed into the positive terminal of the
tester.
The test harness is needed for the following
tests.
È Voltage measurement
É Peak voltage measurement
Test harness
NOTE:
If the lighting coil and pickup coil(s) are mea-
sured unloaded, disconnect the test harness
on the output side coupler.
Peak voltage adapter:
YU-39991
Peak voltage adapter B:
90890-03172
Checking steps:
Disconnect the coupler connections.
Connect the test harness between the
couplers.
Connect the tester terminals to the termi-
nals which are being checked.
Run the engine and observe the mea-
surement.È

IGNITION SPARK
WARNING
When checking the spark gap, do not
touch any of the connections of the spark
checker/ignition tester lead wires.
When performing the spark gap test, take
special care not to let sparks leak out of
the removed spark plug cap.
When performing the spark gap check,
keep flammable gas or liquids away,
since this test can produce sparks.
1. Check:
Ignition spark
Weak →
Check the ECM output peak
voltage.
Check the ignition coil for resistance.
Checking steps:
Connect the spark plug cap to the special
service tool.
Spark checker:
YM-34487
Ignition tester:
90890-06754
Crank the engine and observe the igni-
tion system spark through the discharge
window.

IGNITION SYSTEM PEAK VOLTAGE
WARNING
When checking the electrical components,
do not touch any of the connections of the
digital tester lead wires.
NOTE:
If there is no spark, or the spark is weak,
continue with the ignition system test.
If a good spark is obtained, the problem is
not with the ignition system, but possibly with
the spark plug(s) or another component.
1. Measure:
ECM output peak voltage
Below specification →
Measure the
pickup coil output peak voltage.
NOTE:
When measuring the ECM output peak volt-
age while cranking the engine, disconnect
the ignition coil couplers for all cylinders
except for the cylinder being measured.
To crank the engine, connect the engine
shut-off cord (lanyard) to the engine shut-off
switch, and then press the start switch.
