Engine break-in 

NOTICE

ECJ00431

Failure to perform the engine break-in
could result in reduced engine life or even
severe engine damage.

The engine break-in is essential to allow the
various components of the engine to wear
and polish themselves to the correct operat-
ing clearances. This ensures proper perfor-
mance and promotes longer component life.
To perform the engine break-in:
(1) Check the engine oil level. (See page 52

for information on checking the engine oil
level.)

(2) Launch the watercraft and start the en-

gine. (See page 67 for information on
starting the engine.)

(3) For the first 5 minutes, operate with the

engine speed at 2000 r/min.

(4) For the next 30 minutes, operate with the

engine speed below 5000 r/min.

(5) For the next 1 hour, operate with the en-

gine speed below 6000 r/min.

After the engine break-in is complete, the wa-
tercraft can be operated normally.
