STARTING THE ENGINE
4. After starting, check whether the
cooling water is flowing out of the
cooling water check hole. Amount
of water flowing out of the check
hole might vary due to the
thermostat operation, but this is
normal.
If water does not flow out, or if
steam comes out, stop the engine.
Check to see if the screen in the
cooling water intake port is
obstructed and remove foreign
materials if necessary. Check the
cooling water check hole for
clogging. If water still does not flow
out, have your outboard motor
checked by an authorized Honda
outboard motor dealer. Do not
operate the engine until the
problem has been corrected.
5. Check to see if the oil pressure
indicator turns ON.
If it does not turn on, stop the engine
and perform the following
inspections.
1) Check the oil level (see page 59).
2) If the oil level is normal and the oil
pressure indicator does not turn
ON, consult with an authorized
Honda outboard motor dealer.
6. Warm up the engine as follows:
Above 5°C (41°F) – run the engine
for 2 or 3 minutes.
Below 5°C (41°F) – run the engine
for at least 5 minutes at 2,000 min
-1
(rpm).
Failure to completely warm up the
engine will result in poor engine
performance.
