If the initial overheat warning is ignored,
engine and exhaust system heat can
increase, particularly if the vehicle continues
to be operated at higher speed. If so, the
warning indicators and buzzer will change
from intermittent to constantly on and the
overheat system will stop ignition to the
engine to reduce the risk of severe overheat-
ing. The engine cannot be restarted until it
cools down, so it may be necessary to have
the vehicle towed back to the beach. Refer to
“Towing the Water Vehicle” on page 5-6.

EXHAUST TEMPERATURE WARN-
ING SYSTEM
This engine has an exhaust temperature
warning device. If the exhaust temperature
gets too hot, the warning lamp(LED) will
blink, and the indicator and “EXHST” will
light. 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.
