Selecting the normal mode/low-
RPM mode
The normal mode and low-RPM mode
can only be selected when the engine is
stopped in the unlock mode. Press the
unlock button for more than 4 seconds to
select the normal mode or low-RPM mode.
Normal mode
If the beeper sounds twice, the normal
mode is activated.
The watercraft can be ridden normally.
Low-RPM mode
If the beeper sounds three times, the low-
RPM mode is activated and the “L-MODE”
indicator light 1 comes on.
Maximum engine speed (r/min) in the low-
RPM mode is limited to approximately 80%
of the maximum engine speed in the normal
mode.
NOTE:@ If neither the start switch nor the remote
control transmitter is operated within
25 seconds after the unlock button is
pressed to select the unlock mode, the
multifunction meter display and the
“L-MODE” indicator light will go off. If this
occurs, press the lock button briefly to
select the lock mode, press the unlock
button briefly to select the unlock mode,
and then press the unlock button again for
more than 4 seconds to select the normal
mode or low-RPM mode.
While the engine is running, input from
the remote control transmitter is not

Oil pressure warning indicator
If the oil pressure does not rise to specifi-
cation, the “WARNING” indicator light and
the oil pressure warning indicator begin to
blink and the buzzer sounds intermittently.
At the same time, the engine speed is lim-
ited to help prevent damage.
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.
NOTE:@ Press any button on the multifunction meter
to stop the buzzer.

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.
