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
CAUTION: Continued wide open
throttle runs and prolonged cruising
without speed variations should be
avoided, this can cause engine dam-
age 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.
