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:
@
Be sure to check the engine oil level
before operating the watercraft for the
first time. (See page 3-7 for engine oil
checking procedures.)
@
1. Launch the watercraft and start the
engine. (See page 3-21 for engine start-
ing procedures.)
