During the first 10 hours of operation,
always use less than ½ throttle. Varying the
engine RPM during the break-in period
allows the components to “load” (aiding the
engine/transmission component mating
process) and then “unload” (allowing com-
ponents to cool). Although it is essential to
place some stress on the engine compo-
nents during break-in, care should be taken
not to overload the engine too often. Do not
pull a trailer during the break-in period.
When the engine starts, allow it to warm up
properly. Idle the engine several minutes
until the engine has reached normal operat-
ing temperature. Do not idle the engine for
excessively long periods of time.
Burnishing Brake Pads
Brake pads must be burnished to achieve
full braking effectiveness. Braking dis-
tance will be extended until brake pads are
properly burnished.
To properly burnish the brakes, use fol-
lowing procedure:
1. Choose an area sufficiently large to
safely accelerate to 30 mph and to
brake to a stop.
2. Accelerate to 30 mph; then press
brake pedal to decelerate to 0-5 mph.
3. Repeat procedure twenty times.
! WARNING
Do not attempt sudden stops or put
yourself into a situation where a sud-
den stop will be required until the
brake pads are properly burnished.
