Warming up engine
EMU41231
Procedure for warming up engine
1. After starting the engine, warm up the en-
gine until the engine speed stabilizes at
idle speed to provide maximum operating
performance and acceleration. Failure to
do so will shorten engine life.
2. Check that the low oil pressure-alert indi-
cator remains off. NOTICE: If the low oil
pressure-alert indicator blinks after
the engine starts, stop the engine.
Otherwise, serious engine damage
could occur. Consult your Yamaha
dealer.

Shifting
WARNING
EWM00180
Before shifting, make sure there are no
swimmers or obstacles in the water near
you.
NOTICE
ECM01610
Warm up the engine before shifting into
gear. Until the engine is warm, the idle
speed may be higher than normal. High
idle speed can prevent you from shifting
back to neutral. If this occurs, stop the en-
gine, shift to neutral, then restart the en-
gine and allow it to warm up.
To shift out of neutral
1. Pull the neutral interlock trigger up (if
equipped).
2. Move the remote control lever firmly and
crisply forward (for forward gear) or rear-
ward (for reverse gear) about 35° (a de-
tent can be felt).
