Engine break-in
ECJ00431
NOTICE
Failure to perform the engine break-in could result in reduced engine life or even severe engine damage.
The engine break-in is essential to allow the various components of the engine to wear and polish themselves to the correct operating clearances. This ensures proper performance and promotes longer component life.
To perform the engine break-in:
(1)Fill the fuel tank with fuel in a fuel-to-oil ra- tio of 25:1. (See page 31 “Mixing fuel and oil” and “Filling the fuel tank” for fuel filling procedures.)
(2)Launch the watercraft and start the en- gine. (See page 45 for engine starting procedures.)
(3)For the first 5 minutes, operate with the engine at idling speed.
(4)For the first tankful of fuel, squeeze the throttle lever slowly and operate at 3/4 throttle or less.
(5)Fill the fuel tank once more with fuel in a fuel-to-oil ratio of 25:1, and then operate
with the engine at any speed.
After completing the engine break-in, fill the fuel tank with fuel in a fuel-to-oil ratio of 50:1 and proceed with normal operation.
