Engine break-in

The engine break-in period 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 compo-
nent life.
CAUTION:
●
For the first tankful of operation, pre-
mix a 50:1 mixture of fuel and oil (in
addition to the oil in the oil tank).
●
After break-in, use straight gasoline
for normal operation.
1. Launch the watercraft and start the
engine. (See page 3-15 to 3-17 for
engine starting procedures.)
2. Run the engine at the lowest possible
speed for 5 minutes.
