CAUTION:
Never turn the main switch to "
G
(start) while the engine is running.
Do not keep the starter motor turning
G
for more than 5 seconds. If the starter
motor is turned continuously for more
than 5 seconds, the battery will be
quickly discharged, thus making it im-
possible to start the engine. The starter
can also be damaged. If the engine will
not start after 5 seconds of cranking,
return the main switch to "
10 seconds, then crank the engine
again.
NOTE:
When the engine is cold, it needs to be
G
warmed up. For further information, see
page 33.
If the engine is warm and fails to start,
G
open the throttle slightly and try to start the
engine again. If the engine still fails to
start, see page 66.

CAUTION:
If the low oil pressure-warning indica-
G
tor does not go off after the engine
"
starts, stop the engine. Otherwise seri-
ous engine damage could occur. Check
the oil level and add oil if necessary.
Consult your Yamaha dealer if the
cause for the low oil pressure-warning
indicator cannot be found.
A continuous flow of water from the pi-
G
lot hole shows that the water pump is
pumping water through the cooling
passages. If water is not flowing out of
" (on), wait
the pilot hole at all times while the en-
gine is running, overheating and seri-
ous damage could occur. Stop the
engine and check whether the cooling
water inlet on the lower case or the
cooling water pilot hole is blocked.
Consult your Yamaha dealer if the prob-
lem cannot be located and corrected.
Warming up engine
After starting the engine, allow it to idle
for 3 minutes to warm up. Failure to do
so will shorten engine life.
Be sure the low oil pressure warning in-
dicator goes off after starting the engine.
Check for a steady flow of water from the
cooling water pilot hole.
