Warming Up
After the engine starts, move the throttle lever (A)
on the equipment to halfway between "FAST" and
"SLOW'.
To warm up the engine, run it for 3 to 5 minutes
with the throffie lever in the same load position
(halfway) before putting the equipment under load.
Then, move the throttle lever (A) on the equipment
to its "FAST" position.
CAUTION
Allow engine to warm up sufficiently (3 to 5
minutes at idle) before applying a load. This
will allow oil to reach all engine parts, and
allow piston clearance to reach design spec-
ifications.
CAUTION
While warming up the engine, make sure the
warning light (oil pressure) on dash is not
on. The warning light must not be illumi-
nated during engine operation (if equipped).
