WARMING UP THE ENGINE

it has warmed up.
Do not warm up the engine for a long time
(20 minutes or more). When idling is
required, occasionally place a load or run
the engine at medium speed.
1. Return the throttle lever, then run the
engine at a low idle speed with no load for
5 minutes.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE
STOPPING THE ENGINE
IMPORTANT: Do not stop the engine
suddenly when operating with heavy
loads or at the maximum speed. Doing so
may cause the engine to overheat or
seize. Never stop running the engine
suddenly except in emergency.
1. Return the throttle lever.
2. Idle the engine with no load for about 5
minutes to gradually let it cool.
3. Turn the starter key to the OFF position to
stop the engine.
When the coolant temperature is –5 to
10°C (23 to 50°F).
When the coolant temperature is at or
below –5°C (23°F), hold it for about 10
seconds for preheating.
3. After preheating, turn the key to the
START position and start the engine.
4. Once the engine starts, release the key.
The key automatically returns to the ON
position.
5. Check that the warning lamps are off.
6. Return the throttle lever and warm up the
engine.
