Manual start and electric start
models
1. After starting the engine, allow it to idle
for 3 minutes to warm up. Failure to do
so will shorten engine life.
2. Be sure the low oil pressure warning in-
dicator goes off after starting the engine.
3. Check for a steady flow of water from the
cooling water pilot hole.

CAUTION:
If the low oil pressure warning indicator
G
does not go off after the engine starts,
stop the engine. Otherwise serious en-
gine damage could occur. Check the oil
level and add oil if necessary. Consult
your Yamaha dealer if the cause for the
low oil pressure warning indicator can-
not be found.
A continuous flow of water from the pi-
G
lot hole shows that the water pump is
pumping water through the cooling
passages. If water is not flowing out of
the pilot hole at all times while the en-
gine is running, overheating and seri-
ous 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 prob-
lem cannot be located and corrected.
