Break-In Period

Only 8 hours of mowing operation is required for the
machine break-in period.
Since the first hours of operation are critical to future
dependability of the machine, monitor its functions and
performance closely so that minor difficulties, which could
lead to major problems, are noted and can be corrected.
Inspect the machine frequently during break-in for signs of
oil leakage, loose fasteners, or any other malfunction.
To ensure optimum performance of the brake system,
burnish (break-in) the brakes before using the machine. To
burnish the brakes, firmly apply the brakes and drive the
machine at mowing speed until the brakes are hot, as
indicated by their smell. An adjustment to the brakes may
be required after break-in; refer to Adjusting the Brakes,
page 36.
