Warming up engine

EMU30038

Electric start models

1. After starting the engine, allow it to idle
for 3 minutes to warm up to provide max-
imum operating performance and accel-
eration. Failure to do so will shorten
engine life.
2. Be sure the low oil pressure-alert indica-
tor remains 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 engine oil if nec-
essary. Consult your Yamaha dealer if
the cause for the low oil pressure alert
cannot be found.

NOTICE
Warm up the engine before shifting into
gear. Until the engine is warm, the idle
speed may be higher than normal. High
idle speed can prevent you from shifting
back to neutral. If this occurs, stop the en-
gine, shift to neutral, then restart the en-
gine and allow it to warm up.
To shift out of neutral
1. Pull the neutral interlock trigger up (if
equipped).
1. Neutral interlock trigger

lever firmly and crisply forward (for for-
ward gear) or backward (for reverse gear)

control models].
