BREAK-IN PERIOD
Engine
With BOMBARDIER-ROTAX
®
water-
craft engines, a break-in period is re-
quired before operating the engine at
full throttle. We recommend a break-in
of about 10 operating hours.
During this period, maximum throttle
should not exceed 3/4, however, brief
acceleration and speed variations con-
tribute to a good break-in. Continued
wide open throttle accelerations, pro-
longed cruising speeds and overload-
ing the engine are detrimental during
the break-in period.
To assure additional protection during
the initial engine break-in, it is recom-
mended to add 1 L of the same oil as
in the injection oil reservoir in the fuel
tank
for the first full fuel tank filling
only
.
To add injection oil in the fuel tank, pro-
ceed as follows:
Fill fuel tank with approximately 15 li-
ters (4 gal) of gasoline; then, add the
injection oil in the fuel.
Fill up fuel tank with gasoline. Do not
overfill.
NOTE:
It is important to proceed in this
order to allow a proper mixing of the oil
in the gasoline. If oil is added first in an
empty fuel tank, fuel lines will be filled
up with injection oil leading in a no start
condition of the engine.
CAUTION:
Remove and clean spark
plugs after engine break-in.
10-Hour Inspection
It is highly recommended that after the
first 10 hours of operation, the water-
craft be checked by an authorized Sea-
Doo dealer. This inspection will also
provide the opportunity to discuss the
unanswered questions you may have
encountered during the first hours of
operation.
The 10-hour inspection is at the
expense of the
watercraft
owner.
