BREAK-IN PERIOD_______________________________
Engine
With Bombardier-Rotax
®
watercraft
engines, a break-in period is required
before operating the engine at full
throttle. Engine manufacturer recom-
mendation is 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, BOMBAR-
DIER ROTAX INJECTION OIL should
be added in the fuel tank
for the first
full fuel tank filling only.
SPX/GSX/GTX/XP Models
To assure additional protection during
the initial engine break-in, BOMBAR-
DIER ROTAX FORMULA XP-S syn-
thetic injection oil should be added to
the
first full fuel tank filling only.
All Models
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
required quantity of injection oil in the
fuel tank.
Fill up fuel tank with gasoline. Do not
overfill.
NOTE:
It is important to proceed
in this order to allow a proper mix-
ing of the oil in the gasoline.
10-Hour Inspection
It is highly recommended that after
the first 10 hours of operation, the wa-
tercraft be checked by an authorized
dealer. This inspection will also pro-
vide the opportunity to discuss the un-
answered questions you may have en-
countered during the first hours of
operation.
