Operation ESU11292 Starting the engine Read the Owner's Manual carefully to become familiar with all controls. If there is a control or function you do not understand, ask your Yamaha dealer. EWS00201 4. WARNING Failure to familiarize yourself with the controls can lead to loss of control, which could cause an accident or injury. 1. Apply the parking brake. Turn the main switch to the start position and release it when the engine starts. NOTICE: Release the switch immediately after the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, release the switch, wait a few seconds, then try again. Each attempt should be as short as possible to preserve the battery. Do not crank the engine more than 10 seconds on any one attempt. [ECS00331] 1. Start 5. 2. Be sure the engine stop switch is in the run position. The starter motor cannot be operated when the engine stop switch is in the off position. 6. Warm up the engine, and then close the starter (choke) lever when the engine runs smoothly. Be sure the low coolant temperature indicator light has gone out before operation. (See page 10 for detailed information about the indicator light.) ESU11310 Break-in There is never a more important period in the life of your engine than the period between 0 and 500 km (300 mi). For this reason, you should read the following material carefully. Since the engine is brand new, do not put an excessive load on it for the first 500 km (300 mi). The various parts in the engine wear and polish themselves to the correct operating clearances. During this period, prolonged fullthrottle operation or any condition that might result in engine overheating must be avoided. 3. Fully open the starter (choke) lever. TIP The starter (choke) lever is not required when the engine is warm. Move the starter (choke) lever to the closed position. 26
