BREAK-IN PERIOD
CAUTION: Scrupulously follow the
instructions of this section. Failure
to do so may reduce the engine’s life
and/or performance.
With Sea-Doo watercraft powered by
Rotax
®
engines, a break-in period of 10
hours is required before continuous
operation at full throttle.
All Models except DI Models
To achieve a good break-in, throttle le-
ver should not be depressed more
than 3/4, however, brief acceleration
and speed variations contribute to a
good break-in.
DI Models
To achieve a good break-in, vary the
engine speed every few minutes with
brief wide open throttle accelerations
of up to 15 seconds.
All Models
Continued wide open throttle runs and
prolonged cruising without speed vari-
ations should be avoided, this can
cause engine damage during the break-
in period.
All Models except DI Models
To assure additional protection during
the initial engine break-in, it is recom-
mended to add 1 L of the same oil as
in the injection oil reservoir in the fuel
tank for the first full fuel tank filling
only.
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
injection oil in the fuel.
Fill up fuel tank with gasoline. Do not
overfill.
NOTE: It is important to proceed in this
order to allow a proper mixing of the oil
in the gasoline. If oil is added first in an
empty fuel tank, fuel lines will be filled
up with injection oil leading in a no start
condition of the engine.
CAUTION: Remove and clean spark
plugs after engine break-in.
DI Models
NOTE: Adding injection oil in the fuel
tank for the break-in has no noticeable
effects on a DI engine.
All Models
10-Hour Inspection
It is highly recommended that after the
first 10 hours of operation, the water-
craft be checked by an authorized Sea-
Doo dealer. This inspection will also
provide the opportunity to discuss the
unanswered questions you may have
encountered during the first hours of
operation.
The 10-hour inspection is at the expense
of the watercraft owner.
