Honda Motor Pre-Operation Checklist
1. Position the outboard motor vertically, and check the oil level in the oil
level inspection window.
2. If the oil level is down toward the lower level mark on the window, fill
up to the suggested mark in your owners manual on the dipstick.
Break-In Procedure
Break-in operation allows the moving parts to wear-in evenly and ensures proper performance and longer outboard motor life. Avoid continuous operation at a steady speed.
Run the outboard motor at idling ot trolling speeds(the lowest speed possible). Use the minimum amount of throttle opening necessary to operate the boat at a safe trolling speed.
Run the outboard motor up to a maximum of 2,000 to 3,000 rpm(or 10% to 30% of throttle opening). Operating time at 2,000 to 3,000 rpm should be limited to 50% of the 45 minutes.
Run the outboard motor up to a maximum of 4,000 to 5,000 rpm(or 50% to 80% of throttle opening). Operating time at 4,000 to 5,000 should be limited to 50 % of the 60 minutes. Thirty-second full throttle burst are acceptable, but do not operate the motor continuously at full throttle. For boats the plane easily, bring the boat up on plane, and then reduce the throttle opening to the specified break-in setting stated above.
Avoid continuous full throttle operation (100% throttle opening). Do not run the outboard motor at full throttle for more than 5 minutes at a time.
