FAST IDLE BUTTON
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.
Using the electric starter f or more
than 5 seconds at a time will
overheat the starter motor and can
damage it.
Turning the ignition switch key to
the START position while the
engine is running can damage the
starter motor and f lywheel.
The cooling system may f reeze in
areas where the temperature
reaches 32°F (0°C) or below.
Cruising at high speed without
warming the engine up may cause
engine damage.
Before getting underway, allow
the engine to warm-up sufficiently
to ensure good performance.
Above 41°F (5°C), warm-up the
engine for at least 3 minutes.
Below 41°F (5°C), warm-up the
engine for at least 5 minutes at
2,000 rpm. Push the fast idle
button, and then move the control
lever forward or reverse to open
the throttle and achieve
approximately 2,000 rpm.
