Press in and hold the main switch to op-
erate the remote choke system. The re-
mote choke switch automatically returns
to its normal position when you release
your hand. Therefore keep the switch
pressed in.

starting a warm engine.
●
Push in the main switch fully, or the remote
choke system will not operate.

Turn the main switch to “
” (start),
and hold it for a maximum of 5 seconds.
7.
Immediately after the engine starts, re-
lease the main switch and allow it to re-
turn to “
” (on).
NOTICE:
Never turn
the main switch to “
” (start)
while the engine is running. Do not
keep the starter motor turning for
more than 5 seconds. If the starter
motor is turned continuously for
more than 5 seconds, the battery will
be quickly discharged, thus making it
impossible to start the engine. The
starter can also be damaged. If the
engine will not start after 5 seconds
of cranking, return the main switch to
“
” (on), wait 10 seconds, then
crank the engine again.

Cooling water
Check for a steady flow of water from the
cooling water pilot hole. A continuous flow of
water from the pilot hole shows that the wa-
ter pump is pumping water through the cool-
ing passages. If the cooling passages are
frozen, it may take a while for water to start
flowing out of the pilot hole.
NOTICE
ECM01810
If water is not flowing out of the pilot hole
at all times while the engine is running,
overheating and serious damage could
occur. Stop the engine and check wheth-
er the cooling water inlet on the lower
case or the cooling water pilot hole is
blocked. Consult your Yamaha dealer if
the problem cannot be located and cor-
rected.
