Exhaust temperature warning
system
This model has an exhaust temperature
warning device. If the exhaust temperature
gets too hot, the warning light, indicator and
"EXHST" will blink. The buzzer also sounds
intermittently. If this happens, reduce engine
speed and return to the beach at low speed.
Allow the exhaust system to cool.
WARNING
Hot muffler surfaces can cause serious
burns. Do not touch any muffler surface
during or after engine operation. The cat-
alytic converter gets hotter after the
engine stops.
CAUTION:
This model is equipped with a catalytic
converter. Return to shore at low speed
(below 4,000 r/min) if the warning indica-
tor and buzzer are on, and the display
shows "EXHST." Have your watercraft
inspected and serviced by a Yamaha
dealer if the engine stopped due to over-
heating.
NOTE:
●
The buzzer stops sounding if any button
on the meter is pressed.
● Ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect the
watercraft if there is no apparent reason
for overheating.
