Break-in Procedure<br />
Break-in period 10 hours<br />
Break-in operation allows the moving<br />
parts to wear-in evenly and thus<br />
ensures proper performance and<br />
longer outboard motor life.<br />
Break-in your new outboard motor as<br />
follows:<br />
First 15 minutes:<br />
Run the outboard motor at trolling<br />
speed. Use the minimum amount<br />
of throttle opening necessary to<br />
operate the boat at a safe trolling<br />
speed.<br />
Next 45 minutes:<br />
Run the outboard motor up to a<br />
maximum of 2,000 to 3,000 rpm or<br />
10% to 30% throttle opening.<br />
Next 60 minutes:<br />
Run the outboard motor up to maxi-<br />
mum of 4,000 to 5,000 rpm or 50%<br />
to 80% throttle opening. Short<br />
50<br />
bursts of full throttle are acceptable<br />
but do not operate the motor contin-<br />
uously at full throttle.<br />
Next 8 hours:<br />
Avoid continuous full throttle oper-<br />
ation (100% throttle opening). Do<br />
not run the outboard motor at full<br />
throttle for more than 5 minutes at a<br />
time.<br />
For boats that plane easily, bring the<br />
boat up on plane then reduce the throttle<br />
opening lo the specified break-in<br />
settings called out above.
