OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
NOTE.
Our
guarantee
only applies on condition
that the following fuel
and
I u bricating
oi I
recommendations
are f ol lowed :
Fuel
quality
The engine is intended to
be
run on
petrol
with
an octane
rating of minimum
B0
ROT
(Research
Method).
Lubricating
oil
quality
Only
Multigrade
oil SAE 1O
W30
with
quality
designation
"For
Service SE"1)
is to
be used
for
lubricating
the engine and reverse
gear.
This oil contains additives
which
ensure
maximum lifetime for
the engine
and
reverse
gear
under different conditions
of operations.
RUNNING.IN
When
your
marine engine
is new, we recommend
that
you
run
it with a
certain
amount of care
during the first
20 hours of operation.
During this
time, never
subject the engine to full
loading for more
than
brief
periods,
because
it
is
during
this
period
that
the moving
parts
wear in together.
Oil changes
During
the running-in
period,
the engine
and
reverse
gear
lubricating oilshould be
changed more frequently
than
usual. Change the engine oil, reverse
gear
oil and the
oil
filter
after 20 hours of operation, see also under
"Servicing",
points
3 and
4.
RECOMMENDED
ENGINE
SPEED
lf
your
are
to
get
the very best
performance
from
your
boat, it is important that
the
propeller
is
selected so
that maximum engine
speed
is
reached
with a normally
loaded
boat. See under
"Technical
Data".
NOTE.
When the
boat
has
been in
the
water
for
some
considerable time, maximum
engine
speed can decrease if there is marine
growth
on
the bottom of the boat. Use
therefore
anti-fouling bottom
paint.
Check and clean the
bottom of the boat at
regular
intervals.
