ENOW00932-0
CAUTION
Be sure to check that cooling water is
coming out of the cooling water check port
during warm up.
Warm the engine at low engine speeds for
about
3 minutes : above 41°F (5 ℃ )
5 minutes at 2000 rpm : below 41°F (5 ℃ )
This allows the lubricating oil to circulate to
all parts of the engine. Operating the
engine without warm up shortens the
engine's life.
