Meter
When the meter is activated, all of the fuel
level meter segments and all indicators come
on. After a few seconds, the fuel level meter
displays the remaining amount of fuel and all
indicators go off.
EJU45620Fuel level meter
The fuel level meter shows the amount of fuel
remaining in the fuel tank. The amount of re-
maining fuel is shown using four display seg-
ments, which disappear one at a time as the
fuel level decreases.
TIP:
The accuracy of the fuel level meter varies
depending on the operating conditions. Use
this function as a reference only.
EJU45631Fuel level warning
If the fuel remaining in the fuel tank drops to
about 6.0 L (1.59 US gal, 1.32 Imp.gal), the
lowest fuel level segment blinks.
If the fuel level warning is activated, refill the
fuel tank as soon as possible. (See page 31
for information on filling the fuel tank.)

same time, the maximum engine speed is
limited.
If the oil pressure warning is activated, imme-
diately reduce the engine speed, return to
shore, and then check the engine oil level.
(See page 33 for information on checking the
engine oil level.) If the oil level is sufficient,
have a Yamaha dealer check the watercraft.
EJU45660Engine overheat warning
If the engine temperature rises significantly,
the “WARNING” indicator light comes on.
While the engine overheat warning is activat-
ed, the maximum engine speed is limited.
If the engine overheat warning is activated,
immediately reduce the engine speed, return
to shore, and then make sure that water is
being discharged from the cooling water pilot
outlet while the engine is running. If there is
no discharge of water, stop the engine, and
then check the jet intake for clogging. (See
page 72 for information on the jet intake.)NOTICE:
If you cannot locate and correct
the cause of the overheating, consult a
Yamaha dealer. Continuing to operate at higher speeds could result in severe en-
gine damage.

Check engine warning
If a sensor malfunction or a short circuit is de-
tected, the “WARNING” indicator light blinks
once for several seconds.
If the check engine warning is activated, im-
mediately reduce the engine speed, return to
shore, and have a Yamaha dealer check the
engine.
EJU45690Communication disconnecting warning
If communication disconnecting is detected,
the “WARNING” indicator light and “L-
MODE” indicator light blink.
If the communication disconnecting warning
is activated, have the watercraft serviced by
a Yamaha dealer as soon as possible.

Fuel requirementsEJU45582FuelEWJ00283
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are ex-
tremely flammable. To avoid fires and
explosions and to reduce the risk of in-
jury when refueling, follow these in-
structions.
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause in-
jury or death. Handle gasoline with care.
Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you
should swallow some gasoline, inhale a
lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gaso-
line in your eyes, see your doctor imme-
diately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gasoline
spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.
ECJ00322
Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded
gasoline can seriously damage the en-
gine.
Avoid getting water and contaminants in
the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can
cause poor performance and engine
damage. Use only fresh gasoline that
has been stored in clean containers.
TIP:
This mark identifies the recommended fuel
for this watercraft as specified by European
regulation (EN228).
Check that the gasoline nozzle has the
same identifier when fueling.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol and gasohol containing meth-
anol.
Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if
the ethanol content does not exceed 10%
and the fuel meets th e minimum octane rat-
ings. E-85 is a fuel blend containing 85% eth-
anol and therefore must not be used in this
watercraft. All ethanol blends containing
more than 10% ethanol can cause fuel sys-
tem damage or engine performance prob-
lems.
Yamaha does not recommend gasohol con- taining methanol because it can cause fuel
system damage and engine performance
problems. Recommended fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum octane rating of 86
(Pump octane number) = (R + M)/2
90 (Research octane number)

Operation and handling requirements

To fill the fuel tank:
(1) Before refueling, stop the engine. Do notstand or sit on the watercraft. Never refu-
el while smoking, or while in the vicinity
of sparks, open flames, or other sources
of ignition.
(2) Place the watercraft in a well-ventilated area and in a horizontal position.
(3) Remove the hood, and then ventilate the engine compartment. (See page 26 for
hood removal and installation proce-
dures.)
(4) Loosen the fuel filler cap and remove it.
(5) Slowly add fuel to the fuel tank.
(6) Stop filling when the fuel level just reach- es the bottom of the filler tube. Do not fill
up the filler tube. Because fuel expands when it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank. Do not leave the watercraft
with a full tank in direct sunlight.
(7) Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately with a dry cloth.
(8) Securely install the hood in its original position, and then install the fuel filler cap
by tightening it until it clicks.

Why Yamalube
YAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA Part
born of the engineers’ passion and belief that
engine oil is an important liquid engine com-
ponent. We form teams of specialists in the
fields of mechanical engineering, chemistry,
electronics and track testing, and have them
develop the engine together with the oil it will
use. Yamalube oils take full advantage of the
base oil’s qualities and blend in the ideal bal-
ance of additives to make sure the final oil
clears our performance standards. Thus,
Yamalube mineral, semisynthetic and syn- thetic oils have their own distinct characters
and value. Yamaha’s experience gained over
many years of research and development
into oil since the 1960’s helps make
Yamalube the best choice for your Yamaha engine. Checking the engine oil level
EWJ00341
Engine oil is extremely hot immediately af-
ter the engine is turned off. Coming in con-
tact with or getting any engine oil on your
clothes could result in burns.
ECJ00392
Do not run the engine with too much or
not enough oil in the oil tank, otherwise
the engine could be damaged.
Make sure that debris and water do not
enter the oil tank filler hole. Debris and
water in the engine oil can cause serious
engine damage.
TIP:
When checking the engine oil level on land,
the engine must be running while water is
being supplied to the cooling water pas-
sages. (See “Flushing the cooling water
passages” on page 57 for information on
supplying water.)
When checking the engine oil level on wa-
ter, moor the watercraft so that it will not
drift away.
To check the engine oil level:
(1) With the engine stopped, place the wa- tercraft in a precisely level position on
land or launch the watercraft.
(2) Look in all directions, and then start the engine. (See page 48 for information on
starting the engine.)
(3) Run the engine at idling speed for 6 min- utes or more. Run the engine an addi-
tional 5 minutes if the ambient
temperature is 20 °C (68 °F) or less.
(4) Stop the engine.
(5) Remove the hood. (See page 26 for hood removal and installation procedures.)
