trol or function you do not fully

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 3-18 for engine start-
ing procedures.)
2. Run the engine at the lowest possible
speed for 5 minutes.
