WARMING UP THE ENGINE

the engine at medium speed.

load for 5 minutes.

suddenly when operating with heavy
loads or at the maximum speed. Doing so
may cause the engine to overheat or
seize. Never stop running the engine
suddenly except in emergency.
1. Return the throttle lever.
2. Idle the engine for about 5 minutes to
gradually let it cool.
3. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position to
