2022 YAMAHA EX DELUXE stop start

Watercraft operation
29
TIP
Although the neutral position helps keep the
watercraft from moving even when the en-
gine is running, some movement may occur.
To shift into forward:
(1) Release the RiDE lever.
(2) Squeeze the throttle lever. The reversegate will rise completely, the engine
speed will increase, the watercraft will
start moving forward, and the “F” (for-
ward) shift indicator will be displayed.
TIP
If the RiDE lever is squeezed while the throttle
lever is squeezed, the watercraft will slow
down, and once stopped, move in reverse.
To shift into neutral from forward:
(1) Release the throttle lever.

Multifunction information center
The multifunction information center displays
various watercraft information.
Multifunction information center initial op-
eration
When the multifunction information center is
activated, all of the display segments come
on. After 2 seconds, the warning indicators in
the information display go off, and then the
center starts to operate normally.
Multifunction information center standby
state
If the multifunction information center does
not receive any operation input within 30 sec-
onds after the engine stops, the center will
turn off and enter a standby state. When the
engine is started again, the displays return to
their state before the center turned off, and
then the center starts to operate normally.
EJU35027Information display
The information display shows watercraft op-
erating conditions.
EJU43833Speedometer
The speedometer shows the watercraft
speed.
By switching the display units, the speed can
be shown in kilometers per hour “km/h” or
miles per hour “MPH”.
TIP
“MPH” is selected as the display unit at the
Yamaha factory.

EJU44711Fuel level warning
If the fuel remaining in the fuel tank drops to
about 8 L (2.1 US gal, 1.8 Imp.gal), the lowest
fuel level segment, the fuel level warning indi-
cator, and the “WARNING” indicator light
blink, and the buzzer sounds intermittently for
30 seconds.
If the fuel level warning is activated, refill the
fuel tank as soon as possible. (See page 41
for information on filling the fuel tank.)
After the fuel tank is refilled, the warning sig-
nals will be cleared when the engine is re-
started.
EJU43720Oil pressure warning
If the oil pressure drops significantly, the oil
pressure warning indicator, the check engine
warning indicator, and the “WARNING” indi-
cator light blink, and the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently for 30 seconds. At the same time,
the maximum engine speed is limited.If the oil pressure warning is activated, imme-
diately reduce the engine speed, return to
shore, and then check the engine oil level.
(See page 43 for information on checking the
engine oil level.) If the oil level is sufficient,
have a Yamaha dealer check the watercraft.
EJU43901Engine overheat warning
If the engine temperature rises significantly,
the engine overheat warning indicator, the
check engine warning indicator, and the
“WARNING” indicator light blink, and the
buzzer sounds intermittently. After 5 sec-
onds, the engine overheat warning indicator
and the “WARNING” indicator light stop
blinking and remain on, and the buzzer
sounds continuously. After 30 seconds, the
buzzer stops. While the engine overheat
warning is activated, the maximum engine
speed is limited.
If the engine overheat warning is activated,
immediately reduce the engine speed, return
to shore, and then make sure that water is
being discharged from the cooling water pilot
outlet while the engine is running. If there is
no discharge of water, stop the engine, and
then check the jet intake for clogging. (See
page 86 for information on the jet intake.)
NOTICE: If you cannot locate and correct
the cause of the overheating, consult a
Yamaha dealer. Continuing to operate at

Use only 4-stroke engine oil. Usage of 2-
stroke engine oil could result in severe en-
gine damage.
Why Yamalube
YAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA Part
born of the engineers’ passion and belief that
engine oil is an important liquid engine com-
ponent. We form teams of specialists in the
fields of mechanical engineering, chemistry,
electronics and track testing, and have them
develop the engine together with the oil it will
use. Yamalube oils take full advantage of the
base oil’s qualities and blend in the ideal bal-
ance of additives to make sure the final oil
clears our performance standards. Thus,
Yamalube mineral, semisynthetic and syn- thetic oils have their own distinct characters
and value. Yamaha’s experience gained over
many years of research and development
into oil since the 1960’s helps make
Yamalube the best choice for your Yamaha engine. Checking the engine oil level
EWJ00341
Engine oil is extremely hot immediately af-
ter the engine is turned off. Coming in con-
tact with or getting any engine oil on your
clothes could result in burns.
ECJ00392
Do not run the engine with too much or
not enough oil in the oil tank, otherwise
the engine could be damaged.
Make sure that debris and water do not
enter the oil tank filler hole. Debris and
water in the engine oil can cause serious
engine damage.
TIP
When checking the engine oil level on land,
the engine must be running while water is
being supplied to the cooling water pas-
sages. (See “Flushing the cooling water
passages” on page 71 for information on
supplying water.)
When checking the engine oil level on wa-
ter, moor the watercraft so that it will not
drift away.
To check the engine oil level:
(1) With the engine stopped, place the wa-
tercraft in a precisely level position on
land or launch the watercraft.
(2) Look in all directions, and then start the engine. (See page 58 for information on
starting the engine.)
(3) Run the engine at idling speed for 6 min- utes or more. Run the engine an addi-
tional 5 minutes if the ambient
temperature is 20 °C (68 °F) or less.
(4) Stop the engine.
Recommended engine oil:
YAMALUBE 4W or 4-stroke motor oil
Recommended engine oil type: SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, 20W-40,
20W-50
Recommended engine oil grade: API SG, SH, SJ, SL
