Vehicle Break-in Period

The break-in period for your new vehicle is the first 20 hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first 2 full tanks of gasoline. No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine will result in more efficient performance and longer life for the engine. Perform the following procedures carefully.

NOTICE

Excessive heat build-up during the first 3 hours of operation will damage close-fitted engine parts and drive components. Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds during the first 3 hours of use.
