Cooling water

Check for a steady flow of water from the cool-
ing water pilot hole. A continuous flow of water
from the cooling water pilot hole shows that
the water pump is pumping water through the
cooling water passages.
TIP:
When the engine is started, there may be a
slight delay before water flows from the cool-
ing water pilot hole.

NOTICE
If water is not flowing out of the cooling
water pilot hole at all times while the en-
gine is running, overheating and serious
damage could occur. Stop the engine and
check whether the cooling water inlet on
the lower case or the cooling water pilot
hole is blocked. Consult your Yamaha
dealer if the problem cannot be located
and corrected.

Warming up engine

EMU41231

Procedure for warming up engine

1. After starting the engine, warm up the en-
gine until the engine speed stabilizes at
idle speed to provide maximum operating
performance and acceleration. Failure to
do so will shorten engine life.
2. Check that the low oil pressure-alert indi-
cator remains off. NOTICE: If the low oil
pressure-alert indicator blinks after
the engine starts, stop the engine.
Otherwise, serious engine damage
could occur. Consult your Yamaha
dealer.
