                                     Engine break-in
                            ECJ00432
                             NOTICE
                            Failure to perform the engine break-in
                            could result in reduced engine life or even
                            severe engine damage.
                            The engine break-in is essential to allow the
                            various components of the engine to  wear
                            and polish themselves to the correct operat-
                            ing clearances. This ensures proper perfor-
                            mance and promotes longer component life.
                            To perform the engine break-in:
                            (1) Fill the fuel tank with fuel in a fuel-to-oil
                                ratio of 25:1. (See page 31 “Mixing fuel
                                and oil” and “Filling the fuel tank” for in-
                                formation on filling the fuel tank.)
                            (2) Launch the watercraft and start the en-
                                gine. (See page 45 for information  on
                                starting the engine.)
                            (3) For the first 5 minutes, operate with the
                                engine at idling speed.
                            (4) For the first tankful of fuel, squeeze the
                                throttle lever slowly and operate at 3/4
                                throttle or less.
                            (5) Fill the fuel tank once more with fuel in a
                                fuel-to-oil ratio of 25:1, and then operate
                                with the engine at any speed.
                            After the engine break-in is complete, fill the
                            fuel tank with fuel in a fuel-to-oil ratio of 50:1.
                            The watercraft can be operated normally.
