Breaking in engine
Your new engine requires a period of break-in
to allow mating surfaces of moving parts to
wear in evenly. Correct break-in will help en-
sure proper performance and longer engine
life.
CAUTION:
Failure to follow the break-in procedure
could result in reduced engine life or even
severe engine damage.
Procedure
Run the engine under load (in gear with a pro-
peller installed) as follows.
1.
For the first hour of operation:
Run the engine at 3000 r/min or at ap-
proximately half throttle.
2.
For the second hour of operation:
Run the engine at 4000 r/min or at ap-
proximately three-quarter throttle.
3.
For the next eight hours of operation:
Avoid continuous operation at full throttle
for more than five minutes at a time.
4.
After the first 10 hours:
Operate the engine normally.
Preoperation checks
WARNING
If any item in the preoperation check is not
working properly, have it inspected and
repaired before operating the outboard
motor. Otherwise an accident could occur.
CAUTION:
Do not start the engine out of water. Over-
heating and serious engine damage can
occur.
