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)Check the engine oil level. (See page 52 for information on checking the engine oil level.)

(2)Launch the watercraft and start the en- gine. (See page 67 for information on starting the engine.)

(3)For the first 5 minutes, operate with the engine speed at 2000 r/min.

(4)For the next 30 minutes, operate with the engine speed below 5000 r/min.

(5)For the next 1 hour, operate with the en- gine speed below 6000 r/min.

After the engine break-in is complete, the wa- tercraft can be operated normally.
