Suzuki DF5A Proper Break-in Procedures:
*******************************************
Break in period: 10 Hours
1. For the initial 2 hours:
allow sufficient idling time (about 5 minutes) for the engine to warm up after cold engine starting.

NOTICE:
Running at High Speed without sufficient warm up may cause severe engine damage such as piston seizure.

After warming up, run the engine at idling speed or the lowest in-gear speed for about 15 minutes.
During the remaining 1 hour and 45 minutes, operate the engine in gear at less than 1/2 throttle.

NOTE:
You may throttle up beyond the recommended operating range to plane your boat, then immediately reduce the throttle to the recommended operating range.

2. For the next 1 hour:
Safe boating conditions permitting, operate the engine in gear at 4000 r/min, or at the 3/4 throttle. avoid running the engine at full throttle.

3. Remaining 7 hours:
Operate the engine in gear at desired engine speed. You may occasionally use full throttle, however do not operate the engine continuously at full throttle for more than 5 minutes at any time.

NOTICE:
Running continuously at full throttle for more than 5 minutes at a time during the last 7 hours of break-in operation may cause severe engine damage such as seizure.

During the last 7 hours of break-in operation, do not operate at wide open throttle for more than 5 minutes at a time.
