5. Before getting under way, allow
the engine to warm up sufficiently
to ensure good performance.
Above 41°F
(5"C), warm up the
engine for
2 or 3 minutes.
Below 41 OF

engine for at least
10 minutes at
2,000 rpm. Raise the fast idle lever
to achieve approximately
2,000
rpm.
During the warm-up period, check
the oil pressure indicator (p. 29
),
overheating indicator (p. 29 ), and
cooling system indicator
(p. 30 ).
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, p.
82

warm up the engine, gradually
lower the lever as the engine
warms up.
When the fast idle lever is
fully
lowered, the control lever can be
moved away from the
N (neutral)
position.
