engine immediately after starting
the engine.
If the engine is cold, idle for sever-
al seconds before sufficient lubri-
cation is ensured in the turbo
charger unit.

ing that requires heavy engine

ately after it has been subjected to a
heavy load. Doing so may cause
severe damage to the engine or
turbo charger unit.
