NOTE:
If you attempt to start the engine when the ambient
temperature is below 5°C (40°F), the engine will cycle
through a period during which it will sound as though it is
struggling to stay running. This is the engine's warm-up
mode. The throttle will be unresponsive while the engine is
in warm-up mode. Warm-up mode lasts between
30 seconds and 3 minutes depending on the temperature.
The throttle will become active after the engine has
stabilized and is idling normally. Do NOT operate the engine
above 1500 rpm until the HPT engine temperature gauge is
above blue range (A).
