If water does not flow out, or if
steam comes out, stop the engine.
Check to see if the screen in the
cooling water intake port is
obstructed and remove foreign
materials if necessary. Check the
cooling water check hole for
clogging. If water still does not flow
out, have your outboard motor
checked by your outboard motor
dealer. Do not operate the engine
until the problem has been
corrected.
5. Check to see if the oil pressure
indicator turns ON.
If it does not turn on, stop the engine
and perform the following
inspections.
1) Check the oil level (see page 41).
2) If the oil level is normal and the oil
pressure indicator does not turn
ON, consult with your outboard
motor dealer.

Above 5°C (41°F) – run the engine
for 2 or 3 minutes.
Below 5°C (41°F) – run the engine
for at least 5 minutes at 2,000 min
