If you have an easy-planing boat, accelerate at full throttle onto plane, then immediately reduce the throttle to 3000 r/min or less. Second hour: Accelerate at full throttle onto plane, then reduce engine speed to three-quarter throttle (approximately 4000 r/min). Run at full throttle for one minute, then allow about 10 minutes of operation at threequarter throttle or less to let the engine cool. Third through tenth hours: Avoid operating at full throttle for more than 5 minutes at a time. Let the engine cool between full-throttle runs. After the first 10 hours: Operate the engine normally.

Filling oil for oil injection models EWM00530 3. WARNING Do not add gasoline into the oil tank. This engine uses the Yamaha oil injection system, which provides superior lubrication by ensuring the proper oil ratio for all operating conditions. Simply pour gasoline into the fuel tank and oil into the oil tank. Convenient indicators show the status of the oil supply. For details on how to read the indicators, see page 30. To fill the engine oil tank, proceed as follows: 1. Pour engine oil into the remote oil tank.
