Engine Break-in
Severe damage to the engine can result by not complying
with the Engine Break-in Procedure.
For the first 30 gals. (114 L) of fuel mixture, mix oil in the fuel
tank at 25:1 (4%). This is in addition to the oil supplied to the
engine by the oil injection system. (See following chart)
Always vary throttle settings during Break-in
1st HOUR
•
Allow engine to warm-up for 30 - 60 seconds.
•
Do not idle for more than 10 minutes
•
Run the engine the majority of time between 3000 - 4500 RPM
(approximately three quarter throttle).
•
Short bursts of full throttle for periods up to 10 seconds are
acceptable.
•
Vary engine speed. Change engine speed approximately
every two (2) minutes.
•
Avoid trimming the outboard out (up) beyond a vertical trim
position during operation.
•
Avoid using hydraulic jack plate (if equipped) to raise engine
during break-in cycle.
NEXT 3 HOURS: Change engine speed every 10 minutes.
It is the boat operators responsibility to always drive in a safe
manner. Improper trim angle of the outboard when driving at
speed can be difficult and dangerous. Trim angle is specified
to help guide the operator in determining how to put the
proper load on the engine during the break-in period. These
guidelines do not suggest or require unsafe boat operation.
