If the overheat warning is ignored, engine
and exhaust system heat may increase, par-
ticularly if the watercraft is operated at
higher speeds. When this occurs, the warn-
ing light, the engine overheat warning indi-
cator and the buzzer will change from
intermittently to continuously on, and the
overheat system will stop ignition to the
engine to reduce the risk of severe over-
heating. The engine cannot be started until
it cools down, so it may be necessary to
have the watercraft towed back to the
beach. (See “Towing the watercraft” on page
5-7 for towing procedures.)
NOTE:@ Press the reset button on the multifunction
information center to stop the buzzer.

Fuel and oil
This engine uses Yamaha’s oil injection
system, which provides superior lubrication
by ensuring the proper oil ratio for all operat-
ing conditions. No fuel premixing is neces-
sary except during the engine break-in
period. Simply pour gasoline into the fuel
tank and oil into the oil tank.

Gasoline
WARNING@ GASOLINE AND ITS VAPORS ARE
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE!
Do not smoke when refueling, and
keep away from sparks, flames, or
other sources of ignition.
Stop engine before refueling.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with
the watercraft in a horizontal position.
Do not stand or sit on the watercraft
while refueling in case of fire.
Take care not to spill gasoline. If gaso-
line spills, wipe it up immediately with
dry rags. Always properly dispose of
gasoline-soaked rags.
Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Stop fill-
ing when the fuel level just reaches the
bottom of the filler tube. Do not fill up
the filler tube because fuel expands as
it warms up and could overflow. If tem-
porarily leaving the watercraft with a
full fuel tank, do not leave it in direct
sunlight. Leave it in a well-ventilated
area with the watercraft in a horizontal
position.
Tighten the filler cap securely after
refueling.
If you should swallow some gasoline,
inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get
gasoline in your eyes, get immediate
medical attention.

Lubrication
1. Remove the spark plugs and pour
approximately one tablespoon of oil into
each cylinder.
2. Grease the spark plug threads and rein-
stall the spark plugs.
3. Crank the engine within 3 seconds using
the start switch.
4. Lubricate all cables such as the throttle,
choke, and steering cables.
NOTE:@ Use a suitable marine grease applicator to
pressure lubricate the cables and purge out
any moisture between the inner and outer
cables.
@
5. Lubricate the areas of the watercraft
specified under Lubrication points on
page 4-16.

Fuel system
Draining the fuel system prevents buildup
of varnishes and other harmful deposits that
result when gasoline sits for a prolonged
period of time.
