Procedure
1. Warm the engine at low engine speeds for about 3 minutes if temperature is above 41°F (5°C), or 5 minutes at 2000 rpm if below 41°F (5°C). WARNING: Operating the engine without warm-up shortens the engine's life. 2. Check that cooling water is coming out of the cooling water check port during warm-up.
