Maintenance

and get immediate medical attention.

Antidote (INTERNAL):

 

 

Drink large quantities of water or milk
followed by milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Get immediate
medical attention.

Batteries also generate explosive hydro-
gen gas; therefore, you should always
follow these preventive measures:

 

 

Charge batteries in a well-ventilated ar-
ea.

 

 

Keep batteries away from fire, sparks,
or open flames (for example: welding
equipment, lighted cigarettes, and so
on.)

 

 

DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.

KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTIC

 

FLUID OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

CAUTION:

 

ECM00360 

 

 

A poorly maintained battery will quickly
deteriorate.

 

 

Ordinary tap water contains minerals
harmful to a battery, and should not be

 

used for topping up.

 

1.

Check the electrolyte level at least once
a month. Fill to the manufacturer’s rec-
ommended level when necessary. Top
up only with distilled water (or pure de-
ionized water suitable to use in batter-
ies).

2.

Always keep the battery in a good state
of charge. Installing a voltmeter will help
you monitor your battery. If you will not
use the boat for a month or more, re-
move the battery from the boat and store
it in a cool, dark place. Completely re-
charge the battery before using it.

3.

If the battery will be stored for longer
than a month, check the specific gravity
of the fluid at least once a month and re-
charge the battery when it is low.

NOTE:

 

Consult a Yamaha dealer when charging or

 

re-charging batteries.

 

EMU29331

 

Connecting the battery

WARNING

 

EWM00570 

 

Mount the battery holder securely in a
dry, well-ventilated, vibration-free loca-
tion in the boat. Install a fully charged bat-

 

tery in the holder.

CAUTION:

 

ECM01121 

 

 

Make sure the main switch (on applica-
ble models) is “

” (off) before work-

ing on the battery.

 

 

Reversal of the battery cables will dam-
age the electrical parts.

 

 

Connect the red battery cable first
