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

While boating, the engine’s water intake must stay
completely submerged and unobstructed. Observe
