ENGINE OIL REQUIREMENTS

Eagle Engine Sales, Inc. recommends Pennzoil Marine 15W-40 Marine Oil. If Pennzoil is not available, any 15W40 oil meeting the API specifications of SJ/CH4/CG4 is acceptable. If engine is to be used in conditions below 20°F (-7°C) use 10W30 API SJ/CD motor oil.

SYNTHETIC OIL

Synthetic oil that meets our requirements of 15W40 SJ/CH4/CG4 is acceptable to use after 100 hours of operation with the recommended conventional oil. The use of synthetic oil does not change the requirement of 50 hour oil change intervals.

EAGLE ENGINE SALES, INC. GENUINE MARINE ENGINES

Recommended initial start-up and break in procedures

Before Initial Start-up

1. Prime Oil Pump (see enclosed).
2. Check Oil level.
3. Check Fuel quality and prime the system to avoid unnecessary cranking.
4. Be sure the distributor is properly installed and the timing has been statically set to minimize cranking during initial start-up.

Initial start-up (prior to installation in the boat)

1. Verify proper oil pressure.
2. Verify proper cooling/water flow. Cooling system must be bled of all air prior to operation.
3. Check ignition timing. Set engine speed to 1,500 r.p.m. for a period of 15 minutes, to insure proper break-in of the camshaft and valve train.
4. Check for possible water, oil or fuel leaks (prior to installation in boat).

Engine break-in period

The break-in period of your Eagle Engine Sales, Inc. engine is the first 25 hours of operation. Proper engine break-in is essential to achieve maximum performance and longevity. During the break-in period, the following guidelines must be followed.

1. Do not operate the engine below 1,500 r.p.m. for extended periods of time for the first 10 hours of operation.
2. Do not operate the engine at any one speed for extended periods of time.
3. Do not exceed 3/4 throttle during the first 10 hours of operation. During the next 15 hours, intermittent periods of no more than 5 minutes maximum of wide-open throttle are acceptable.
4. Avoid full throttle acceleration from idle speed.
5. Allow engine to come to full operating temperature before operating at full throttle.
6. Be sure the engine is able to obtain the rated r.p.m. at wide open throttle. Over or under propping will cause severe damage and shorten engine life. Check the manufacture recommendation for this specification.

Recommended 25-Hour Inspection

After the first 25 hours of operation, it is recommended that your Eagle Engine Sales, Inc. marine engine be given an inspection. You should make an appointment with your dealer to perform the necessary checks and adjustments to ensure proper engine performance. The following maintenance should be performed.

1. Change oil and filter.
2. Ignition Systems inspected adjust timing and verify ignition advance at wide open throttle.
3. Check carburetor adjustments.
4. Check engine alignment.
5. Inspect accessory drive belts and tension.
6. Check all fluids.
7. Check throttle and shift cable adjustments and check the ease of movement.
8. Inspect the cooling system; check all hoses and hose clamps.
9. Inspect the entire Exhaust System for leaks, damage, deterioration, or restrictions.
10. Inspect the entire engine for loose, missing, or damaged parts. Pay close attention to the engine mounts, alternator, and mounting fasteners.

Note: Eagle Engine Sales, Inc. assumes no responsibility for the costs related to the 25-hour inspection. This is the customer’s responsibility.
