QUALITY ASSURANCE/ MACHINE BREAK IN

 

 
The Power Buggy is the product of extensive engineering development designed to give 

long life and unmatched performance. You can help ensure that your Power Buggy will perform 
at top levels by observing a simple routing on first use. Consider that your new Power Buggy is 
like a new car. Just as you would break in a new car to the road or any new machine to the job, 
you should start gradually and build up to full use. Learn what your machine can do and how it 
will respond. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual for run-in times. Full throttle and 
control may be used after this time period, as allowed by material. This will serve to further 
break in the machine on your specific application, as well as provide you with additional 
practice using the machine. 
 

We thank you for the confidence you have placed in us by purchasing a Power Buggy 

and wish you many years of satisfied use.
