understand all safety warnings outlined in the safety section of this owner's
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 tanks full 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.
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
