BREAK-IN PERIOD
CAUTION: Scrupulously follow the
instructions of this section. Failure
to do so may reduce the engine’s life
and/or performance.
Engine
With BOMBARDIER craft engines, a
break-in period is required before oper-
ating the engine at full throttle. Engine
manufacturer recommendation is
about 10 operating hours.
During this period, maximum throttle
should not exceed 3/4, however, brief
acceleration and speed variations con-
tribute to a good break-in. Continued
wide open throttle accelerations, pro-
longed cruising speeds and overload-
ing the engine are detrimental during
the break-in period.
To assure additional protection during
the initial engine break-in, it is recom-
mended to add 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, proceed
as follows:
Fill fuel tank with approximately 15 li-
ters (4 gal) of gasoline; then, add the
required quantity of 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 lead-
ing in a no start condition of the en-
gine(s).
CAUTION: Remove and clean spark
plugs after engine break-in.
10-Hour Inspection
It is highly recommended that after the
first 10 hours of operation, the craft be
checked by an authorized dealer. This
inspection will also provide the oppor-
tunity to discuss the unanswered
questions you may have encountered
during the first hours of operation.
MODEL QUANTITY
LRV 1.67 L
The 10-hour inspection is at the ex-
pense of the craft owner.
