OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 83 Break-In A new watercraft should be ridden with care during the break-in period to allow mechanical components to "bed-in" and produce smooth, long wearing surfaces. During the first five minutes of engine operation, do not exceed the engine revolution more than 2 500 rpm. During the first five hours of engine operation, do not subject the engine to heavy lugging or prolonged full throttle operation. For this period, up to 3/4 throttle is recommended. Vary the operating speed often, not running for a prolonged time at any one speed. Avoid full throttle starts. Careful treatment of the craft during the break-in period will result in more efficient, reliable performance and a longer life for the craft. In addition to the break-in described above, we recommend that the owner take his watercraft to an authorized Kawasaki JET SKI dealer after the first ten hours of operation for initial maintenance service. See the Periodic Maintenance Chart in the MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS chapter. Stopping the Engine The engine can be stopped in one of the following two ways. żPush the red "STOP" button. It is not necessary to hold the button "in" to stop the engine. After the engine stops, the "STOP" button resets itself and the engine is ready to start. żPull the engine shut-off lanyard key off the stop button. To start the engine the lanyard key must be pushed under the stop button. Remove the ignition switch key after stopping the engine in either case. j WARNING You have no directional control of the watercraft when the engine is stopped.

A new watercraft should be ridden with care dur-
ing the break-in period to allow mechanical compo-
