WARMING UP ENGINE

 

1)

Before beginning operation, allow the

 

 

engine to warm up at idling speed for

 

 

3 minutes. (Failure to do this will

 

 

shorten engine life.)

 

2)

Check for a steady flow of water from

309014

 

the cooling-water pilot hole.

 

 

 

 

 

cC

A continuous flow of water from the pilot hole shows that the water pump is pumping water through the cooling pas- sages. If water is not flowing out of the pilot hole at all times while the engine is running, do not continue to run the engine. Overheating and serious damage could occur. Stop the engine and check to see if the water inlet on the lower casing is blocked. If the problem cannot be found and corrected, consult your Yama- ha dealer.

NOTE:

After the engine starts, warm-up operation is automatically controlled by the Prime Start system. Automatic control is cancelled if the throttle is opened more than halfway.
