ENOW00932-0
CAUTION
Be sure to check that cooling water is com-
ing out of the cooling water check port dur-
ing warm up.
Warm the engine at low engine speeds
for about
3 minutes : above 5°C (41°F)
5 minutes at 2000 min
below 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.
