Manual start and electric start models

1. After starting the engine, allow it to idle for
3 minutes to warm up. Failure to do so will
shorten engine life.
2. Be sure the low oil pressure-alert indica-
tor goes off after starting the engine.
NOTICE: If the low oil pressure-alert
indicator blinks after the engine starts,
stop the engine. Otherwise serious
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-alert in-
dicator cannot be found.
