The “UNLOCK” indicator light 2 comes
on when the security system is in the unlock
mode and goes off when the security sys-
tem is in the lock mode.
When the unlock button 3 is pressed for
a short time, the beeper sounds two times
for the normal mode or three times for the

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.

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

check the engine.
NOTE:@ Press any button on the multifunction meter
to stop the buzzer.

Fuel warning indicator
If the fuel remaining in the tank drops to
about 13 L (3.4 US gal, 2.9 Imp gal), the
lowest two fuel level segments, the fuel
warning indicator, and the “WARNING” indi-
cator light all begin to blink. The buzzer also
starts sounding intermittently.
The warning signals will be cleared when
the engine is restarted after refilling.

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.

3. Attach the clip 1 to the engine shut-off
switch 2 and attach the engine shut-off
cord 3 to your left wrist.
WARNING@ Check that the engine shut-off cord is not
frayed or broken, and keep it free from
the handlebars so the engine stops if the
operator falls off. The engine shut-off
cord may not pull free if wrapped around
the handlebars when the operator falls
off, allowing the watercraft to continue to
run and cause an accident.
@
NOTE:@ It is not possible to start the engine with the
clip removed from the engine shut-off
switch.
@
4. Push the start switch (green button), and
then release it as soon as the engine
starts to run.
NOTE:@ The engine will not start if the throttle lever is
squeezed.
@
CAUTION:@
Never push the start switch while the
engine is running.

Do not operate the start switch for
more than 5 seconds, otherwise the
battery will be discharged and the
engine will not start. Also, the starter
motor may be damaged. If the engine
does not start in 5 seconds, release
the start switch, wait 15 seconds, and
then try again.
