ENGINE OPERATION
while boat is running. Sudden stop of
engine can cause loss of steering con-
trol. It can also cause loss of boat speed,
possibly leading the crew(s) and or
objects on the boat to be thrown for-
ward due to inertial force.
Do not touch electrical components
such as ignition coils, spark plug cables
or spark plug caps when starting engine
or while engine is in operation. Touching
any of these parts can cause electrical
shock.

4. Warming up the engine

Warm the engine at low engine speeds for
about three minutes. This allows the lubri-
cating oil to circulate to all parts of the
engine. Operating the engine without
warm up shortens the engine's life.
Be sure to check that cooling water is
coming out of the cooling water check
port during warm up.
ENOW00035-0
If the engine is operated without water dis-
charging from the check port, the engine
may over heat.
