Engine overheat warning indicator
This model is equipped with an engine
overheat warning system.
If the engine starts to overheat, the warn-
ing light and the overheat warning indicator
blink, and then come on. The buzzer also
begins to sound intermittently, and then it
sounds continuously. After the light and indi-
cator 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 the select button 1 on the multifunc-
tion meter to stop the buzzer.
