10. As soon as engine starts, release key to the
ON or RUN position.
NOTICE
Allow the engine to idle for the first ten seconds.
Monitor all instruments and displays to ensure
normal readings are shown. Check that no alarms
are displayed and that no warning lights are
flashing. Then warm the engine at low speed and
low load until engine reaches normal temperature
before full power is used.
NOTICE
Priming is not necessary for EFI engines. Refer
to the engine owner's manual for addi tional
informa tion.
NOTICE
NEVER turn key to START position when
engine is running.
NOTICE
Failure to move the throttle handle to the idle
position immediately when engine starts will
allow engine to "over-rev" and engine damage
could result. "Over-revving" engine after off-
season storage could also damage the water
pump impeller. When starting engine for the
first time after off-season storage, always
idle engine for ten minutes to allow the
water pump to prime.
