                   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.
