Oil pressure warning indicator
If the oil pressure does not rise to specifi-

If this occurs, reduce the engine speed,
return to shore, and then check the engine
oil level. (See page 3-7 for engine oil level
checking procedures.) If the oil level is low,
add enough engine oil to raise it to the
proper level. If the oil level is sufficient, have
a Yamaha dealer check the watercraft.

Engine overheat warning indicator
This model is equipped with an engine
overheat warning system.
If the engine starts to overheat, the
“WARNING” indicator light and the overheat
warning indicator blink, and then come on.
The buzzer also begins to sound intermit-
tently, and then it sounds continuously. After
the light and indicator start to blink and the
buzzer sounds, the engine speed is limited
to help prevent damage.
If this occurs, immediately reduce the
engine speed, return to shore, and then
check for water discharge at the port (left)
cooling water pilot outlet. If there is no dis-
charge of water, 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.
