Warming up engine
EMU30030
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 indi-
cator goes off after starting the engine.
3.
Check for a steady flow of water from the
cooling water pilot hole.
CAUTION:
ECM01340
●
If the low oil pressure warning indicator
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 pilot
hole shows that the water pump is
pumping water through the cooling pas-
sages. If water is not flowing out of the
pilot hole at all times while the engine is
running, overheating and serious dam-
age 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.
●
If the cooling passage is frozen, it may
take awhile for water to start flowing out
of the pilot hole.
