BREAK-IN
Proper operation during this break-in period will
help ensure maximum life and performance
from your engine. The following guidelines will
explain proper break-in procedures.
Break-in period: 10 hours
Break-in procedure
1. For the initial 2 hours:
Allow sufficient idling time (about 5 minutes)
for the engine to warm up after cold engine
starting.
After warming up, run the engine at idling speed
or the lowest in-gear speed for about 15 min-
utes.
During the remaining 1 hour and 45 minutes, if
safe boating conditions permit, operate the
engine in gear at less than 1/2 (half) throttle
(3000 r/min.).
NOTE:
You may throttle up beyond the recommended
operating range to plane your boat, then imme-
diately reduce the throttle to the recommended
operating range.
NOTICE
Failure to follow the break-in procedures
described below can result in severe
engine damage.
Be sure to follow the engine break-in pro-
cedures described below.
NOTICE
Running at high speed without sufficient
warm-up may cause severe engine dam-
age such as piston seizure.
Always allow sufficient idling time (5 min-
utes) for the engine to warm-up before
running at high speed.
