OVER-REVOLUTION LIMITING SYSTEM
If the engine overheats, the S.L.O.W. (Speed Limit-
ing Overheat Warning) protection system will im-
mediately limit the engine speed to 2000 RPM. If
the engine was running faster than 2000 RPM
when the S.L.O.W. system activated, it will shake
noticeably.
This system is activated when engine speed ex-
ceeds maximum recommended speed for more
than 10 seconds.
If this system activates, engine speed will automat-
ically be reduced to approximately 3000 RPM.
To RESET the S.L.O.W. protection system, the en-
gine must be shut OFF and the cooling temperature
restored.
This system must be reset by moving the throttle to
the idle position for about one second to restore full
engine operation.
IF the S.L.O.W. protection system activates and the
stream from the water pump indicator becomes in-
termittent or stops, reduce speed to idle and:

tem will not be activated at recommended maxi- • Shift to NEUTRAL;

ENGINE OVERHEATING
IF cleaning the screens and indicator does not re-
store the water pump indicator’s steady discharge,
SHUT OFF the engine and do not attempt to oper-

IMPORTANT: Do not run your engine — even for a
brief start-up — without supplying water to it. Refer
to Flushing.
While boating, the engine’s water intake must stay
completely submerged and unobstructed. Observe
proper transom height and trim angle. While the en-
gine is running, the engine’s water pump indicator
must discharge a steady stream of water. Check
