Remote control transmitter
(for VX110 Deluxe)
The Yamaha Security System and
low-RPM mode settings are selected using
the remote control transmitter. (See
“Yamaha Security System/Low-RPM mode”
on page 2-15 for information on using the
remote control transmitter.)
CAUTION:@ The Yamaha Security System and
low-RPM mode settings can only be
selected using the remote control trans-
mitter. Observe the following precautions
to protect your remote control transmit-
ter:

Store the remote control transmitter
carefully so it will not be lost. When
operating the watercraft, use the trans-
mitter holder 1 in the glove compart-
ment. If you accidentally lose your
remote control transmitter, contact a
Yamaha dealer.

While the remote control transmitter
has been designed for use in wet envi-
ronments, it should not be operated
under water or submerged for an
extended length of time. If it gets wet,
dry it with a soft, dry cloth.

Keep the remote control transmitter
away from high temperatures and do
not place it in direct sunlight.

Do not drop the remote control trans-
mitter, subject it to strong shocks, or
place any heavy items on it.

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the trans-
mitter. Do not use detergent, alcohol,
or other chemicals.

If the remote control transmitter needs
a new battery or is not operating prop-
erly, contact a Yamaha dealer. Do not
attempt to replace the battery yourself.

Cooling water pilot outlet
This watercraft is equipped with a cooling
water pilot outlet.
When the engine is running, cooling
water is circulated in the engine, and then it
is discharged from the pilot outlet.
To check for proper operation of the cool-
ing system, check that water is being dis-
charged from the pilot outlet. If water is not
being discharged from the outlet, cooling
water may not be circulating in the engine.
When this occurs, stop the engine and
check for the cause. (See pages 2-22 and
5-3 for more information.)
NOTE:@
If the cooling water passages are dry, it
will take about 60 seconds for the water to
reach the outlet after the engine is
started.

Water discharge may not be constant at
idle, therefore, open the throttle a little to
check that water discharges properly.
