ENGINE MONITORING
ENGINE WARNING SYSTEM
This outboard is equipped with an Audible
Misfire Alert (A.M.A.) and Speed Adjusting
Failsafe Electronics ( S.A.F.E .).
A.M.A. / S.A.F.E. Mode Recovery
The engine will operate in A.M.A. or S.A.F.E.
modes as long as the fault condition exists. To
recover normal operation, the sensor or
switch readings must return to normal limits.
A.M.A.
and S.A.F.E. are engine warning sys-
tems controlled by the Engine Management
Module ( EMM ). The EMM monitors engine
sensors. If the EMM detects conditions which
could cause:
• engine damage it activates A.M.A., which
alerts the operator that a fault condition ex-
ists.
• permanent engine damage, the EMM acti-
vates S.A.F.E . which limits engine torque
output and reduces engine RPM.
LOW OIL WARNING
The LOW OIL warning indicates the oil in the
oil tank is at the reserve level. The EMM will
initiate the following failsafe actions:
Fill the oil tank as soon as practical. Refer to
Filling the Oil Tank on page 15.
CRITICAL LOW OIL WARNING
The CRITICAL LOW OIL warning indicates oil
in the oil tank is BELOW the reserve oil level.
The EMM will initiate the following failsafe ac-
tion:
Fill the oil tank AS SOON AS POSSIBLE . Re-
fer to Filling the Oil Tank on page 15 and
Priming the Oil System on page 16.
Although S.A.F.E. mode can
help prevent engine damage, it does not
guarantee you can run the engine indefi-
nitely without engine damage.
OVERHEAT WARNING
The OVERHEAT warning indicates an engine
or EMM overheat condition.
Do not run your outboard—
even for a brief start-up—without supply-
ing water to it. Refer to Flushing on page
39.
While in operation, the outboard’s water in-
takes must stay completely submerged and
unobstructed. Observe proper transom height
and tilt angle. While the outboard is running,
the outboard’s water pump indicator must dis-
charge a steady stream of water. Check the
indicator often, especially when operating in

WARNING
Do not run the engine in a critical low oil
condition for a long period of time. If run
BELOW the reserve oil level, the engine
will run out of oil, causing severe engine
damage.
