Battery
Check the battery’s charge. If your boat is
equipped with a Yamaha digital speedome-
ter, the voltmeter and low battery alert func-
tions will help you monitor the battery’s
charge. A battery in good condition will pro-
vide a minimum of 12 volts. Check that the
battery connections are clean, secure and
covered by insulating covers. The electrical
connections of the battery and cables must
be clean and properly connected or the bat-
tery will not start the engine.
If the battery needs charging, consult your
Yamaha dealer or the battery manufacturer’s
instructions.

Filling fuel
EWM01831
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flam-
mable and explosive. Always refuel ac-
cording to this procedure to reduce the
risk of fire and explosion.
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause in-
jury or death. Handle gasoline with care.
Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you
should swallow some gasoline or inhale
a lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gas-
oline in your eyes, see your doctor im-
mediately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gasoline
spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.
