Break-in operation allows the mating
surfaces of the moving parts to wear
evenly and thus ensures proper
performance and longer outboard
motor life.
Break-in your new outboard motor as
follows.
The gearshift lever has 3 positions:
FORWARD, NEUTRAL, and
REVERSE.
An indicator at the base of the
gearshift lever aligns with the icon
attached at the base of the gearshift
lever.
For the initial 15 minutes:
Run the outboard motor at idling
or trolling speeds (i.e. the lowest
possible speed).
Do not turn the throttle grip with
force in the FAST direction. The
throttle can be opened to FAST only
in FORWARD gear.
Turn the throttle grip to SLOW to
decrease engine speed before moving
the gearshift lever.
For the next 45 minutes:
Run the outboard motor at 2,000
3,000 min (rpm) (with 10% 30
% of throttle).
For the initial 10 hours:
Avoid continuous full throttle (100
% throttle) operation for more than
5 minutes.
Be sure that the tilt lever is in the
RUN (LOCK) position.
For the next to the second 60
minutes:
Run the outboard motor at 4,000
5,000 min (rpm) (with 50% 80
% of throttle).
