EJU45141Status area
The areas on the left and right sides of the
multifunction information center that show
the watercraft information and the tachome-
ter at the bottom of the multifunction informa-
tion center do not respond to touch
operation.
Trim setting indicator
The position of this indicator and the trim set-
ting level indicate the trim setting of the jet
thrust nozzle. (See page 31 for information on
the trim setting.)
Voltmeter
The voltmeter shows the battery voltage.
When the battery voltage is normal, the volt-
meter displays approximately 14 volts.
If the battery voltage has dropped or risen
significantly, the battery voltage warning will
activate and the voltage display will blink.
(See page 46 for information on the battery
voltage warning.)
Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed us-
ing the large number ×100 RPM (r/min) and
the number of display segments.
TIP:
If a warning is activated or a malfunction is
detected, the warning bar will be displayed
instead of the tachometer number display.
Shift indicator
This indicator shows the reverse gate shift
positions: “F” (forward), “N” (neutral), and “R”
(reverse). (See page 29 for shifting proce-
dures.)
Fuel level meter
The fuel level meter shows the amount of fuel
remaining in the fuel tank using the number of
display segments and a percentage value.
If the amount of remaining fuel is less than
10%, the fuel level warning will activate and
the percentage display will change to “Low”.
(See page 46 for information on the fuel level
warning.)
TIP:
The accuracy of the fuel level meter varies
depending on the operating conditions. Use
this function as a reference only.

ter flows out continually from the jet
thrust nozzle.
(8) Run the engine at idling speed for about
3 minutes watching the engine condition.
If the engine stops while flushing, turn
the water supply off immediately and
perform the procedure again from step 7.
NOTICE: Do not supply water to the
cooling water passages when the en-
gine is not running. The water could
flow back through the muffler into the
engine, causing severe engine dam-
age.
[ECJ00123]
(9) Turn the water supply off.
(10) Discharge the remaining water out of the
cooling water passages by alternately
squeezing and releasing the throttle lever
quickly for 10 to 15 seconds.
(11) Stop the engine.
(12) Remove the garden hose adapter, and
then securely install the flushing hose
connector cap by tightening it until it
stops.
(13) Securely close the stern storage com-
partment.
(14) Securely install the removable watertight
storage compartment and seats in their
original positions.
EJU33736Cleaning the watercraft
(1) Remove the seats. (See page 48 for seat
removal and installation procedures.)(2) Rinse the engine and engine compart-
ment with a small amount of water.
NOTICE: Do not use high-pressure
water when rinsing the engine or en-
gine compartment as severe engine
damage could result.
[ECJ00572]
(3) Drain the water from the engine com-
partment. (See page 59 for information
on draining the bilge water.)
(4) Wipe the engine and engine compart-
ment with a dry cloth.
(5) Wash down the hull, deck, and jet pump
with fresh water.
(6) Wipe the hull, deck, and jet pump with a
dry cloth.
(7) Wipe all vinyl and rubber components,
such as the seats and engine compart-
ment seals, with a vinyl protectant.
(8) To minimize corrosion, spray metallic
parts of the hull, deck, and engine with a
rust inhibitor.
(9) Allow the engine compartment to air dry
completely before installing the seats.
