IMPORTANT: If no water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole, stop
the engine and check the cooling water intake for obstruction. No obstruction
may indicate a water pump failure or blockage in the cooling system. These
conditions will cause the engine to overheat. Have the outboard checked by
your dealer. Operating the engine while overheated will cause serious engine
damage.
WARMING UP ENGINE
Before beginning operation, allow the engine to warm up at idling speed for
three minutes.
Starting the Engine ‑ Remote Control Models
Before starting, read the Prestarting Check List, Prestarting Instructions,
and Engine Break‑in Procedure in this section.

IMPORTANT: To prevent engine flooding, do not squeeze the primer bulb
after the engine has warmed up.
