NOTE:
When the engine is cold, it needs to be warmed up.
2.6 Warming up engine
1. After starting the engine, allow it to idle for 3 minutes to warm up. Failure to do so will shorten engine
life. Gradually return the choke knob to its home position as the engine warms up.
2. Check for steady flow of water from the cooling water pilot hole.
CAUTION:
If water is not flowing out of the hole at all times while the engine is running, stop the engine
and check whether the cooling water inlet on the lower case or the cooling water pilot hole is
blocked.
If the problem cannot be located and corrected, consult your dealer.
2.7 Shifting
WARNING:
Before shifting, make sure there are no swimmers or obstacles in the water near you.
