Running-In Procedure - SELVA MARINE MADEIRA 40 Owner's Manual

The flywheel, when operating, is very dangerous. Never try to
put o the cover when the motor is operating.
Go to the nearest port where you can have your motor repaired
as soon as possible. Be sure that the flywheel is safe from the
sprinkles of water.
If the starting key is not in ON position or if the cut-off switch
pince is not connected, the motor doesn't start.
We suggest you to try this starting procedure at the presence of
skilled people.

RUNNING-IN PROCEDURE

A SELVA outboard motor is tested completely in our workshop and it is
partially run in a tank. A second test is done by the concessionaire It is
always advisable to complete the running in procedure in the following
way:
. During the first 15 running hours you must use a pre-mixed fuel
with oil at 1% beyond the M.A. system.
Idle the motor for about ten minutes and control that there is no
defect and that some water comes out from the cooling
indicator.

During the first 3 running hours do not accelerate too much,
and during the following hours you can accelerate properly but
only for short periods.
After about 20 hours you have to change entirely the gearbox-
oil (see the greasing sectioning this manual).
Before start operating the motor with pure gasoline, remove the
top cowling and check that oil pipes are duly filled.
This running in procedure will allow you to obtain the best
performance from your motor and longer endurance.
Use only pure fuels, conserved in suitable and clean tanks, that
aren't contaminated with water or other materials.
Use only petrol with a octane number higher than 95 N.O.

of 1% of oil proper for mixture (see the detailed list)
Pour first the oil and then the petrol into the fuel tank, then mix
the fuel thoroughly by shaking. It is a good custom, if you use
the motor after a break longer than one day, to shake the fuel
tank in order to mix oil and petrol thoroughly.
