TAKING CARE OF
UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS,

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°F (5°C), warm up the
engine for at least 10 minutes at
2,000 rpm.

If the fast idle control was used to
start the engine, gradually return
the lever as the engine warms up.

The control lever will not shift
gears unless it is returned to the N
(neutral) position.

During the warm-up period, check
the oil pressure indicator (p.

),

overheating indicator (p.

), and

cooling system indicator (p.

).

If the indicators show any
abnormal condition, immediately
stop the engine and determine the
cause of the problem. Refer to
