If the battery voltage is less than 10 volts, “LO” is
displayed and if the voltage is above 16 volts, “HI”
is displayed. NOTICE
If the voltage display indicates “LO” or “HI”,
there may be trouble with the battery charging
circuit or the battery may be faulty. If “LO” or
“HI” appears in the display, have a Yamaha

3. Open the auxiliary DC jack cap, and then in-
sert the accessory power plug into the jack.
4. When the auxiliary DC jack is not being used,
cover it with the cap.NOTICE
Do not use accessories requiring more than
the maximum capacity stated above. This
may overload the circuit and cause the fuse
to blow.
If accessories are used without the engine
running, the battery will lose its charge and
engine starting may become difficult.
Do not use an automotive cigarette lighter
or other accessories with a plug that gets
hot, because the jack can be damaged. Maximum rated capacity for the auxiliary DC
jack:
DC 12 V, 120 W (10 A)

The engine can be started in any gear if
the brake is applied. However, it is recom-
mended to shift into neutral before starting
the engine.
4. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, start
the engine by turning the key to “START”.
If the engine fails to start, release the key, and then
try starting it again. Wait a few seconds before the
next attempt. Each attempt should be as short as
possible, to preserve battery energy. NOTICE: Do
not crank the engine more than 5 seconds on
each attempt, or starter damage could occur.
Wait at least 5 seconds between each opera-
tion of the electric starter to let it cool.
Do not turn the key to the “START” position with
the engine running, or damage to the electric start-
er may result.
