BREAK-IN PERIOD
Your craft is equipped with a 4 stroke closed loop water cooled engine. Having a
breaking-in period is crucial to its proper performance and the product life. The
engine break-in period allows various components of the engine to wear and polish
themselves to the correct operation clearances and conditions. The scheduled oil
change during the break-in period is also required. It will prevent excessive wear and
damage to the components.
Failure to perform the required break-in period may significantly handicap your craft
performance, shorten the product life. In certain circumstances, it may void your craft
warranty.
CAUTION:
• Explicitly follow the instructions of this section. Failure to do so may reduce the
engine’s life and/or performance. With the 4 stroke closed loop water cooled engine,
a break-in period of 10 hours is required before continuous operation at full throttle.
To achieve a good break-in, throttle lever should not be depressed more than 3/4,
however, brief acceleration and speed variations contribute to a good break-in.
• Continued wide open throttle runs and prolonged cruising without speed variations
should be avoided, this can cause engine damage during the break-in period.

FILTER AND MAGNET AFTER FIRST 10 HOURS OPERATION
