Engine Warm-Up Procedure

1. During the warm-up period, check the oil pressure indicator (p. 49), overheat indicator (p. 49), and cooling system indicator (p. 50). WARNING: If the indicators show any abnormal condition, immediately stop the engine and determine the cause of the problem. Refer to TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS on p. 115. 2. If the fast idle control was used to warm up the engine, gradually return the control lever to the N (neutral) position as the engine warms up. WARNING: If the engine is not properly warmed up before raising the engine speed, the buzzer and overheat indicator may activate and the engine speed will be automatically reduced. Cruising at high speed without warming the engine up may cause engine damage.
