2007 YAMAHA FX HO charging

Features and functions
39
The fuel level meter has eight segments
which show the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank.
NOTE:
The fuel level is most accurate when the wa-
tercraft is sitting level on a trailer or in the wa-
ter.
EJU35060Hour meter/voltmeter
NOTE:
To switch the display between the hour meter
and the voltmeter, push the “Volt/Hour” button
for at least 1 second after the meter is dis-
played for more than 10 seconds.
Hour meter
The hour meter is provided to make it easy to
follow the maintenance schedule.The meter shows the hours of engine opera-
tion that have elapsed since the watercraft
was new.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter is provided to display the volt-
age of the battery.
When the battery voltage is normal, the volt-
meter displays approximately 12 volts.
If the battery voltage is less than 8.0 volts,
“LO” is displayed on the voltmeter and if the
voltage is above 18.1 volts, “HI” is displayed
on the voltmeter. If “HI” or “LO” is displayed,
return to shore and, if necessary, have a
Yamaha dealer check the charging system
and the battery.
EJU35072Fuel level warning indicator
If the fuel remaining in the fuel tank drops to
about 13 L (3.4 US gal, 2.9 Imp gal), the low-
est two fuel level segments, the fuel level
warning indicator, and the “WARNING” indi-
cator light begin to blink. The buzzer also
starts sounding intermittently.
If this occurs, refill the fuel tank as soon as
possible.
The warning signals will be cleared when the
engine is restarted after the fuel tank is re-
filled.
NOTE:
Press any button on the multifunction informa-
tion center to stop the buzzer.

Maintenance and care
89
WARNING
EWJ00790
Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dan-
gerous, causing severe burns, etc. Elec-
trolyte 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 a physician im-
mediately.
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc., well away.
If using or charging the battery in an en-
closed space, make sure that it is well ven-
tilated. Always shield your eyes when
working near batteries.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
CAUTION:
ECJ00230

Be careful not to place the battery on its
side.

Be sure to remove the battery from the
battery compartment when adding elec-
trolyte or charging the battery.
To replenish the battery:
(1) Make sure that the electrolyte level is be-
tween the maximum and minimum level
marks.
(2) Refill the battery with distilled water if
necessary.
CAUTION:
ECJ00240
Normal tap water contains minerals that
are harmful to a battery. Use only distilled
water for replenishing the battery.
To recharge the battery:
CAUTION:
ECJ00250
Do not attempt to charge a battery hastily.
Battery life could be shortened.
It is recommended to have a Yamaha dealer
charge the battery. If you charge the battery
yourself, carefully read the battery charger in-
structions before charging and follow the
points below.
(1) Remove all of the battery caps.
(2) If the electrolyte level is low, add distilled
water to raise it to the specified level.
(3) Set the charging rate to 1.9 ampere and
charge the battery slowly until the explo-
sive gases are discharged vigorously
from the battery cells.

Trouble recovery
95
CAUTION:
ECJ00660

Place a suitable clean cloth or carpeting
underneath the watercraft to protect it
from abrasions and scratches.

Always turn the watercraft over onto its
port (left) side.

When turning the watercraft on its side,
support the bow so that the handlebars
are not bent or damaged.
(2) Remove any weeds or debris from
around the drive shaft, impeller, jet pump
housing, and jet thrust nozzle.
If debris is difficult to remove, consult a
Yamaha dealer.
CAUTION:
ECJ00670
Always avoid operating your watercraft in
areas where weed growth is thick. If travel-
ing in weeded areas is unavoidable, oper-
ate the engine alternately at partial throttle
and full throttle. Weeds tend to accumu-
late more at a steady speed and at trolling
speed. If weeds clog the jet intake or im-
peller area and cause cavitation, follow the
cleaning procedure above.
EJU34640Jumping the battery
If the watercraft battery has run down, the en-
gine can be started using a 12-volt booster
battery and jumper cables.
