BWarm-up in Cold Ambient Temperatures
In cold weather, the engine oil may be cold with increased
viscosity. This can delay oil circulation or abnormally low
oil pressure for some time after engine start-up. This can
result trouble in the lubrication circuit or damage to the
engine moving parts.
To prevent the above problems, perform the following
instructions:
Warm up the engine at rated revolution with no load.
