2)Next 50 minutes:

Do not exceed half throttle (approxi- mately 3,000 r/min). Vary engine speed occasionally. If you have an easy-planing boat, accelerate at full throttle onto plane, then immediately reduce the throttle to 3,000 r/min or less.

3)Second hour:

Accelerate at full throttle onto plane, then reduce engine speed to three- quarter throttle (approximately 4,000 r/min). Vary engine speed occasional- ly. Run at full throttle for one minute, then allow about 10 minutes of opera- tion at three-quarter throttle or less to let the engine cool.

4)Third through tenth hours:

Avoid operating at full throttle for more than 5 minutes at a time. Let the engine cool between full-throttle runs. Vary engine speed occasionally.

5)After the first 10 hours: Operate the engine normally.
