3. Warming up the engine

ENOW00932-1
Be sure to check that cooling water is dis-
charged from the cooling water check port
during warm up.
Warm the engine at low engine speeds
for about
3 minutes : above 5°C (41°F)
5 minutes at 2000 min
above 5°C (41°F)
This allows the lubricating oil to circulate
to all parts of the engine. Operating the
engine without warm up shortens the
engine's life.
