WARNING SYSTEM
Warning System Activated

If the engine overheats, immediately reduce throttle speed to idle. Shift
outboard into neutral and check for a steady stream of water coming out of the
water pump indicator hole (a).
If no water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole or flow is intermittent,
stop engine and check cooling water intake holes for obstruction. If no obstruction
is found, this may indicate a blockage in the cooling system or a water pump
problem. Have the outboard checked by your dealer. Operating the engine while
overheated will cause engine damage. See the following note.
If a steady flow of water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole and the
engine continues to overheat, consult your dealer. Operating an overheated
engine will cause engine damage. See the following note.
Note: Should overheating occur and you are stranded, stop the engine and allow
it to cool down this will usually allow some additional low speed (idle) running time
before the engine starts to overheat again.

Low Oil Pressure
The warning system will be activated if the oil pressure drops too low. First, stop
the engine and check the oil level. Add oil if necessary. If the oil is at the
recommended level and the warning horn continues to sound, consult your dealer.
Engine speed will be limited to 2000 RPM, however you should not continue to run
engine.
