when either brake lever is squeezed orthe vehicle starts moving.
Control buttons
Button 1 “POWER”
Button 2 “SET”
Button 3 “SELECT”
The following operations and settings
are made using these buttons.
Changing from the standby mode
to the riding mode

Switching between the odometer
and the tripmeter

Resetting the tripmeter

Registering or changing the secu-
rity number

Locking and unlocking the security
lock
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the riding
speed.
Tripmeter “Trip”
The tripmeter shows the distance trav- eled since it was last set to zero. To re-
set the tripmeter, push and hold button
3 “SELECT” for a few seconds until
“0.0” is displayed.
Odometer “Odo”
Push button 3 “SELECT” for at least
one second to switch the display to the
odometer.
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled. Use the odometer as a refer-
ence for the intervals between perform-
ing periodic maintenance.
Push button 3 for at least one second to
switch the display to the tripmeter.
Temperature warning display
“HEAT”/“COOL”
The EC-03 is equipped with a tempera-
ture protection function to protect the
battery and control unit.
If a problem is detected, the tripmeter/
odometer display is canceled and
“COOL” or “HEAT” flash.

When the temperature of the bat-
tery or control unit exceeds a spec-
ified temperature, “HEAT” flashes.

When the temperature of the bat-
tery falls below a specified temper-ature, “COOL” flashes.
TIP
When the temperature of the bat-
tery exceeds a specified tempera-
ture, “HEAT” flashes and the
driving power is reduced to limit
the electric output from the battery,
but this is normal.

When the temperature of the bat-
tery falls below a specified temper-
ature, “COOL” flashes and the
driving power is reduced to limit
the electric output from the battery,
but this is normal.

If the vehicle is ridden for an ex-
tended period in high tempera-
tures, “HEAT” may flash and the
riding speed may be reduced.

If the vehicle is ridden after it has
been left in a hot place or under di-
rect sunlight, “HEAT” may flash
and the riding speed may be re-
duced.

If the vehicle is ridden after it has
been left in an excessively cold
place (less than 0
C), “COOL”
may flash and the riding speed
may be reduced.


When the battery level indicator
shows less than two segments, if
the vehicle is exposed to higher
temperatures, “COOL” may flash
and the riding speed may be re-
duced.

When riding on a long uphill
stretch, “HEAT” may flash and the
riding speed may be reduced.

When riding on a long uphill
stretch, the temperature of the
control unit may rise and “HEAT”
may flash. If you ride continually,
the operating status indicator
“RUN” goes off to protect the con-
trol unit and further riding may be
impossible, but this is not a mal-function.
The vehicle can be ridden when the op-
erating status indicator “RUN” appears
in the display, however riding speed
may be reduced. This is due to reduced
electric output from the battery be-
cause of high battery temperature. If the battery level indicator shows less
than two segments, or the electric out-
put from the battery is limited because
of the battery temperature, the riding
power is substantially reduced, but this
is not a malfunction.
When the battery and control unit have
reached their normal operating temper-
ature and the operating status indicator
“RUN” appears, the temperature warn-
ing display automatically changes back
to the tripmeter/odometer display.
If the operating status indicator “RUN”
does not appear, the vehicle cannot be
ridden.Turn the key to “OFF” and allow the
battery and control unit to cool down
before riding again.
TIPWhen the operating status indicator
“RUN” disappears and riding cannot be
continued, the temperature warning
display can be canceled by turning the
key to “OFF” and then back to “ON” af-
ter the battery and control unit havecooled down.

and the warning light flashes.
Operating status indicator “RUN”
This indicator appears when the vehi-

Battery level indicator
This indicator shows the remaining bat-
tery charge.
When only one battery indicator seg-
ment remains, recharge the battery as
soon as possible. (See page 3-3 for
more information about the battery lev-
el.)
TIPMake sure that the battery is sufficientlycharged before riding.
If the self-diagnosis detects a problem
with the battery, the warning light
comes on, the warning mark “ ” ap-
pears, and all segments of the battery
level indicator flash. The electric output
from the battery may also be reduced.
The vehicle can still be ridden, but it
must be checked by a Yamaha dealer
as soon as possible.

WARNING
EWA15761

If the vehicle is damaged due to
overturning or accident, do not
plug in the charging plug to the
outlet. Otherwise it could cause
an electric shock or short cir-
cuit. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the charging plug before
charging the battery.

Charge the vehicle where no
rain can get to it, as this could
cause an electric shock or short
circuit.

Be sure to plug in the charging
plug to a grounded electrical
outlet with residual-current de-
vice (RCD) protection for charg-
ing the battery. If grounded
incorrectly, this could cause an
electric shock or short circuit.

Do not remove the plastic cover
under the seat to check the bat-
tery or built-in battery charger
as this increases the risk of an
electric shock or short circuit. If
any problem is found, have aYamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.

Battery charging location
WARNING
EWA15872
Charging the battery incorrectly can
cause electric shock or fire. Serious
injury or death can occur if you ig-
nore any of the following:
Read all instructions and labels
before charging the battery.

Choose a dry location with a
flat, stable surface that is pro-
tected from rain or water spray.
The area must have good venti-
lation and be free of flammable
objects or sources of heat.

Be sure the vehicle, charging
cord, and charging plug will not
be disturbed by children or oth-
er bystanders, or animals.

Connect the charging plug only
directly to a grounded electrical
outlet with residual-current de-
vice (RCD) protection. Do not
use an ungrounded extension
cord or multi-outlet plug with
the charging cord.


soon as possible.
NOTICE
ECA17451
Improper charging can damage the
battery and built-in battery charger.
Do not charge in a place ex- posed to direct sunlight or near
a heater.

Do not charge when there is risk
of thunderstorms or lightning.
Electrical surges could cause
damage.

Do not use the AC outlet of a car
or generator for charging the
battery as this could cause amalfunction.
Park the vehicle on a flat, stable sur-
face near a grounded electrical outlet
with residual-current device (RCD) pro-
tection. The area must be dry and, if
necessary, sheltered to prevent rain
water or other moisture from wetting
the vehicle, charging cord, or outlet.
The environment affects the duration of
battery charging. For optimum charg-
ing, charge the battery out of direct sun-
light in an ambient temperature of 15 C
– 25 C.
TIPAlthough charging between 15 C – 25
 C provides the best results, the battery
can be charged within an ambient tem-
perature range of –5 C – 50 C. A de-
pleted battery cannot be charged if
ambient temperature is below 0 C.
Examples of recommended charg-
ing locations
A cool, shaded and well-ventilated
place.
A place that does not fall below –5 C
overnight.

Charging procedure
WARNING
EWA15692

Do not handle the charging plug
with wet hands. You could be
electrocuted.

Do not charge the battery if any
damage, corrosion, rust or
looseness is found with the
charging plug, charging cord or
grounded electrical outlet. This
could cause a fire, electric
shock or short circuit.

If any unusual odor or smoke
emerges from the vehicle dur-
ing charging, stop charging the
battery immediately and consult
your Yamaha dealer.

Electromagnetic waves emitted
from the battery charger could
interfere with the function of
heart devices or other electrical
medical equipment and cause
injury. If you use an im-
plant-type cardiac pacemaker or
defibrillator, or other electrical
medical device, be sure to con-
sult with your doctor or the manufacturer to check whether
being near the battery charger
could affect the device.WARNING
EWA15881
Do not use the charging cord or
charging plug if damaged (i.e., bro-
ken or exposed leads) because it
could cause electric shock or fire. If
such damage is found on the charg-
ing cord, stop using it immediately
and have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle. Handle the charging cord
carefully by observing the following:
Do not twist the charging cord,
wrap it into a tight loop, or sub-
ject it to sharp bends.

Be sure the charging cord can-
not be caught in a door or win-
