BREAK-IN PERIOD
With Sea-Doo watercraft powered by
Rotax
®
engines, a break-in period of 10
hours is required before continuous
operation at full throttle. To achieve a
good break-in, vary the engine speed
every few minutes with brief wide
open throttle accelerations of up to 15
seconds. Continued wide open throt-
tle runs and prolonged cruising with-
out speed variations should be avoid-
ed, this can cause engine damage
during the break-in period.
Carburetor-Equipped Models
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.
DI Models
Adding injection oil in the fuel tank for
the break-in has no noticeable effects
on a DI engine.

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.
